AFCON To Expand To 28 Teams As CAF Unveils New Reforms

The Africa Cup of Nations is set to be expanded from 24 to 28 teams as part of major reforms announced by the Confederation of African Football. CAF president Patrice Motsepe confirmed the decision after an executive committee meeting in Cairo. Motsepe said the expansion aims to increase participation and competitiveness across the continent.

Amnesty Warns 2026 World Cup Could Become Stage For Repression

Amnesty International has warned that the 2026 FIFA World Cup could turn into a stage for repression in the United States, Canada and Mexico if urgent human rights steps are not taken. In a new report titled Humanity Must Win, the group says fans, players, journalists, workers and local communities all face significant risks. FIFA has promised a safe, welcoming and inclusive tournament where everyone can exercise their rights. But Amnesty says this pledge contrasts sharply with current realities in the three host nations, especially the United States, which will stage most of the 104 matches. The report describes the US as facing a human rights emergency under President Donald Trump, citing mass deportations, aggressive immigration raids and what it calls paramilitary style operations by Immigration and Customs Enforcement. According to Amnesty, more than 500,000 people were deported in 2025 […]

Premier League Fans Back Growing Calls To Scrap VAR

More than three quarters of Premier League fans say they want the Video Assistant Referee system scrapped. The finding comes from a new Football Supporters’ Association survey of almost 8,000 fans from all 20 top flight clubs. According to the poll, 76 percent of respondents were against the continued use of VAR. Around 97 percent said VAR has made football less enjoyable, while over 90 percent felt it has not improved the matchday experience. Supporters complained most about three issues. They cited long delays for reviews, doubts over the accuracy and consistency of decisions, and the loss of spontaneous goal celebrations. Thomas Concannon, the FSA’s Premier League network manager, said the results show a clear mood among matchgoing fans. He explained that people feel VAR takes too long, is too forensic, and strips away the emotional high of scoring. The […]

Russia Expels UK Diplomat Over Spying Allegations

Russia has expelled a British diplomat after accusing him of working as an undercover intelligence officer for the United Kingdom. The Russian Foreign Ministry said the official’s accreditation had been revoked and ordered him to leave the country within two weeks. In a statement, the ministry said Britain’s charge d’affaires in Moscow was summoned and given a formal protest. Russian authorities claimed they had received information from security agencies that the embassy staff member belonged to the UK’s intelligence services and was involved in activities that threatened Russia’s security. Russia’s Federal Security Service, FSB, alleged that the diplomat was effectively an undeclared spy, but did not provide public evidence to support the claim. Officials insisted the decision complied with the Vienna Convention on Diplomatic Relations, which allows a host country to declare diplomats persona non grata. The British government has […]

INEC Recognises Abdulrahman Mohammed As PDP National Chairman

The Independent National Electoral Commission has recognised Abdulrahman Mohammed as the national chairman of the Peoples Democratic Party. The recognition follows recent court decisions and the outcome of the party’s latest convention in Abuja. INEC’s position aligns with a Federal High Court judgment which voided the party’s November 16, 2025 convention in Ibadan and affirmed the Abdulrahman led structure. The commission subsequently updated its records to reflect Mohammed and his team as the authorised PDP leadership. At the recent PDP convention, delegates endorsed Abdulrahman Mohammed and a 22 member National Working Committee through a consensus arrangement. The convention was largely driven by a bloc of the party loyal to the FCT Minister, Nyesom Wike. Other national officers returned alongside Mohammed include Samuel Anyanwu as national secretary and several deputies and financial officers. Party insiders say the new leadership has been […]

Fed Govt Tightens Airport Security With New Joint Screening System

The Federal Government has introduced a one stop joint screening system at Nigerian airports to strengthen security and reduce delays for travellers. The directive comes through the Office of the National Security Adviser and targets both international and domestic terminals. Under the new system, security checks by different agencies will be merged into a single, coordinated screening point. Immigration, customs, aviation security, and other security agencies will now work together at one checkpoint instead of stopping passengers multiple times.

The change is also designed to bring Nigeria’s airports closer to international best practices in aviation security. According to Ahmadu Danjuma, Acting Regional Manager (North Central) for the Federal Airports Authority of Nigeria, new X ray machines and L3 scanning devices have been installed […]
