Iwobi, Simon Close To 100 Caps As Super Eagles Target Win Over Jordan

Alex Iwobi and Moses Simon are closing in on historic 100 cap milestones as the Super Eagles take on Jordan in an international friendly in Antalya, Turkey. Iwobi is set to earn his 98th appearance for Nigeria, while Simon is on track for his 97th cap. Only a handful of Nigerian players have ever reached the ‘centurion’ mark, including Joseph Yobo, Ahmed Musa and John Obi Mikel. Iwobi and Simon are now within touching distance of joining that elite group if they stay fit and remain in the plans of head coach Eric Chelle. The Super Eagles go into the clash against Jordan on the back of a 2 1 win over Iran in their first game of the Antalya four nation invitational tournament. Moses Simon and Akor Adams scored the goals in that match, extending Nigeria’s unbeaten run in […]

Cucurella Says He Wouldn’t Have Sacked Maresca Mid Season

Chelsea left back Marc Cucurella says he would not have sacked Enzo Maresca in the middle of the season, insisting the club needed patience with the Italian coach. Speaking while on duty with Spain, he argued that constant managerial changes have hurt Chelsea’s progress. Cucurella said the team became more consistent under Maresca after working together for about 18 months. He explained that by the final months of the Italian’s tenure, players understood the system so well that they were playing almost instinctively. Time is crucial, he added, pointing to Arsenal as an example of a club that stuck with Mikel Arteta for years before reaping rewards. According to him, Chelsea have instead “paid the price” for inexperience and a lack of long term thinking in their project. Reflecting on Maresca’s January exit, Cucurella said he would have waited until […]

Ghana Sack Coach Otto Addo Just 72 Days Before 2026 World Cup

Ghana have sacked head coach Otto Addo just 72 days before the start of the 2026 FIFA World Cup. The Ghana Football Association announced that it had parted ways with the Black Stars manager with immediate effect. The decision came hours after Ghana lost 2 1 to Germany in a friendly match in Stuttgart. That defeat followed a heavy 5 1 loss to Austria in Vienna a few days earlier, extending the team’s miserable run of pre tournament form. In a brief statement, the GFA said: The Ghana Football Association has parted ways with the head coach of the senior men’s national team, Otto Addo, effective immediately. It did not immediately name a replacement or give detailed reasons beyond the recent results. Under Addo’s second spell in charge, which began in March 2024, Ghana failed to qualify for the 2025 […]

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. He noted that more countries will now have a realistic chance of reaching the finals, giving fans and players in smaller nations a bigger stake in the tournament. The CAF president linked the changes to a broader restructuring of African football. Alongside the AFCON expansion, CAF plans to launch an African Nations League and adjust the international calendar to give national teams more meaningful games. Motsepe also promised regulation changes to rebuild trust in referees, VAR operators and judicial bodies. CAF has been under pressure after […]

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 […]

CAF General Secretary Resigns Amid AFCON Dispute

The Confederation of African Football (CAF) is facing a leadership change as its general secretary, Veron Mosengo-Omba, announced his resignation. His departure comes during a turbulent period for African football, marked by the decision to strip Senegal of the 2025 Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON) title and the last-minute postponement of the women’s tournament. In a statement, Mosengo-Omba said he was leaving with a clear conscience. "Having dispelled the suspicions cast on me, I can retire peacefully and leave CAF stronger than before," he wrote. At 66, Mosengo-Omba had exceeded the organization’s mandatory retirement age of 63, drawing criticism. He also faced allegations from staff about fostering a difficult work environment, though an internal investigation cleared him of wrongdoing. Originally from the Democratic Republic of Congo and also a Swiss national, he became CAF general secretary in March 2021. Reuters […]

Man United Legend Nicky Butt Urges Club To Sign Victor Osimhen

Former Manchester United midfielder Nicky Butt has urged his old club to go all out to sign Super Eagles striker Victor Osimhen this summer. Butt believes the Galatasaray forward has the qualities needed to lead the line and take United’s attack to a higher level. Manchester United signed Benjamin Sesko last summer, but Butt is not convinced the young Slovenian can carry the team’s goal scoring burden on his own. He acknowledged Sesko’s potential, movement, and work rate, but said the club still needs a more complete and proven centre forward. Butt described Osimhen as powerful, quick, strong, and capable of scoring different types of goals. He highlighted the Nigerian’s ability to run in behind, compete in the air, and hold up play as reasons he would fit well in the Premier League. Osimhen, who joined Galatasaray from Napoli in […]

Sabalenka Edges Gauff To Claim Second Straight Miami Open Title

World number one Aryna Sabalenka has defeated American star Coco Gauff to win her second straight Miami Open title. The Belarusian triumphed 6 2 4 6 6 3 in a tense three set final at Hard Rock Stadium on Saturday. With the victory, Sabalenka completed the prestigious Sunshine Double, having also won the Indian Wells title earlier in the month. She becomes only the fifth woman to win both Indian Wells and Miami in the same season and the first to do so since Iga Swiatek in 2022. Sabalenka made a strong start in the final, breaking Gauff’s serve in the opening game and dominating the first set without facing a single break point. She overpowered the home favourite with aggressive baseline hitting and a high first serve percentage. Gauff raised her level in the second set, pushing Sabalenka into […]

Alex Iwobi Says His Parents Taught Him The Art Of Giving

Super Eagles and Fulham midfielder Alex Iwobi says his parents played a central role in teaching him the value of giving and caring for others. He explained that many of his charitable activities today are shaped by simple acts of kindness he watched at home while growing up. Iwobi recalled how his father would leave bottles of water outside for waste collectors and support people around their neighbourhood in small but consistent ways. Those little gestures, he said, showed him that helping others does not always require grand resources, only a genuine desire to make life easier for people. He noted that this mindset now guides his approach to community work. For him, success as a footballer is not just about goals and trophies, but also about using his platform to give back. In recent years, Iwobi has organised charity […]
