This season we're still competing in all the competitions. We've made sure we go into 2026 with the possibility of winning all three titles. That's the goal as a team, to win everything this season. Personally, I want to help the team by continuing to score goals. It's been the best start to a season in my career, so that shows me I can still improve. And then there's the World Cup in the summer. It's obviously a great year and a great chance to make history,

Another year of football is over and it's time to start looking ahead to 2026. The Premier League will reach its conclusion in May, with Arsenal looking to win their first title in over two decades - but can the Gunners see the job through this time? Will an English club be crowned champions of Europe? Manchester City, Liverpool, Chelsea, Arsenal and Tottenham are all looking to reach the last 16.

The FIFA World Cup returns to North America in 2026, and this time the history is not just repeating itself. It's being rewritten.

Germany's Das Reboot roadmap that took a hard look at the grassroots youth academies throughout the country throughout the mid 2000's ultimately reached a crescendo into their 2014 World Cup triumph in Brazil. Reanalyzing the way they looked at investing in their youth throughout German football and changing tactics in an ever-changing footballing landscape, especially in international competition, Die Mannschaft were able to get back on their perch in Brazil,

"The way he's spoken about it is that it's difficult because there's so many players in that position, and I get it because you have players like John Stones, Marc Guehi, Dan Burn and Ezri Konsa. "But the World Cup is still a dream and I'm working towards that.

It was exactly a year before one of the biggest events in American soccer history, when the U.S. will kick off its World Cup in a match against Paraguay at SoFi Stadium, and Orenstein had set up the system to only accept booking requests up to a year in advance. Orenstein's rental sits just across the street from the venue. Suddenly, her Airbnb became one of the hottest homes in the Southland.

Donald Trump's heroic victory over a field of one to claim the inaugural Fifa peace prize, on-stage banter so dead it was already fossilized, Gianni Infantino doing crowd work, and Wayne Gretzky struggling through the pronunciation of Macedonia and Curacao in the draw's linguistic group of death: even with the benefit of a few days' distance it's impossible to overstate how impressively bad the draw for the 2026 World Cup, held last Friday at the Trump-purged Kennedy Center in Washington DC, was.

But federation spokesman Amir-Mahdi Alavi told YJC.ir, a news agency affiliated with Iran's state TV, that Iran coach Amir Ghalenoei would attend the event together with one or two staff members to ensure Iran's seat is not left vacant.
