Iran to boycott 2026 World Cup draw over US visa row

Iran says it will boycott the 2026 FIFA World Cup draw in the United States, protesting visa restrictions that could prevent its officials from attending the ceremony. The draw is scheduled to take place in the US, one of the three co-hosts of the 2026 tournament alongside Canada and Mexico.​ Iranian football authorities argue that current US entry rules and political tensions could stop members of their delegation from securing visas. They insist that all qualified teams should be guaranteed equal access to attend official FIFA events, including the final draw.​ Officials in Tehran say they have raised their concerns with FIFA, warning that hosting a major football event in a country with strict visa limits undermines the principle of fairness. They contend that sports events should remain neutral spaces, free from political pressure or discrimination.​ The boycott threat adds […]

Trump clashes with female reporter at White House

President Donald Trump has publicly lashed out at a female journalist during a heated White House press briefing, branding her a “stupid person” after she questioned him about US policy on the war in Ukraine.

Atalanta set €50m price tag for Lookman

Atalanta have set a €50m, about N84 billion, asking price for Nigeria international Ademola Lookman amid strong interest from Turkish giants Galatasaray.
