Nigeria’s women’s national team is set for action at the 2024 Women’s Africa Cup of Nations (WAFCON), which will be hosted in Morocco from July 5 to 26.

Her comeback is seen as a significant lift to Nigeria’s attacking strength as the team prepares for another title chase. Before the tournament kicks off,…

As Arsenal gear up for another Premier League title chase, the need for a clinical striker remains glaring. Last season, Mikel Arteta’s men came close but were again left empty-handed, finishing 10 points behind champions Liverpool and falling at the Champions League semi-final hurdle. One glaring weakness was a reliable centre-forward. Gabriel Jesus battled fitness issues, and Kai Havertz, despite his adaptability, failed to reach double figures in goals. Arsenal need a new weapon upfront, and the rumor mill has placed two names at the top of the shortlist: Benjamin Sesko and Viktor Gyökeres. But what would either forward bring…

Arsenal are once again aiming to end their 21-year wait for a Premier League title, but the path ahead looks rough from the very beginning. The 2025-26 fixture list has not been kind to Mikel Arteta’s men, with a brutal opening five games that could shape the rest of their campaign. Based on Opta Power Rankings, only Manchester United have a more difficult start to the season. Arsenal begin their journey at Old Trafford, then face Liverpool and Manchester City. Their other two early matches, home fixtures against Leeds and Nottingham Forest, are no walk in the park either. And…

Tottenham Hotspur chairman Daniel Levy has defended the club’s controversial decision to part ways with Ange Postecoglou, barely a fortnight after the Australian led them to Europa League glory — the club’s first major silverware in nearly two decades. Despite that achievement, Spurs endured a dismal Premier League campaign, finishing 17th — their worst top-flight result since being relegated in 1977. Levy admitted that sacking Postecoglou was “emotionally tough,” but insisted it was a necessary step to restore competitiveness across all fronts. “I’m grateful to Ange for what he brought, especially ending our trophy drought,” Levy said in a statement…

Chelsea began their Club World Cup campaign with a 2–0 win over Los Angeles FC, but the match at Atlanta’s Mercedes Benz Stadium drew more attention for its hauntingly empty stands than for the action on the pitch. Despite the venue’s 71,000 capacity, only 22,137 fans were recorded in attendance, barely filling the lower and middle tiers. The upper deck was closed entirely. The kickoff time, 3pm on a Monday, didn’t help, and neither did high ticket prices, which plummeted just before and during the match, some selling for as low as £26 online. Chelsea manager Enzo Maresca acknowledged the…
