Working-class footballers lost hundreds of millions to financial mis-selling, but the V11 group is still being pursued for tax on money they never had.

Since becoming head coach, I have been able to hear some of their stories and the passage of time does not make them any less moving. I have also been told about the campaign for a Hillsborough Law and having listened to the reasons and knowing the story behind them, it surprises me that this is still to be introduced.

The Football Association has fined Cardiff City £15,000 after the club's fans directed homophobic chants at Chelsea during an EFL Cup quarter-final in December 2025.

Marco Silva criticized referee John Brooks' decisions after Fulham's defeat, stating they were at a "very low level" and reflecting the "story of our season".

France's Sports Minister Marina Ferrari stated, 'We oppose a generalisation of genetic testing, which raises numerous ethical, legal, and medical questions, particularly in light of French legislation.'

A WSL spokesperson added that they believe clubs and players are also opposed to the schedule, but the league are stopping short of calling for a boycott or threatening to withdraw English teams from the competition, adding: We are not against the introduction of new tournaments in principle [but] those dates would have an impact on five WSL match rounds.

The Football Association has outlined plans for a significant overhaul of the Women's FA Cup that would fundamentally change how the competition is drawn and ultimately who benefits from it. Central to the proposal is the introduction of seeding for the first time. The top four teams from the previous season's Women's Super League would be kept apart in the draw, theoretically preventing them from facing each other until the latter stages.

Real Madrid, who have presented themselves as private prosecutors in the court investigation, have been at war with the Blaugrana, especially after the latter decided to sever ties with the Super League project and strengthen their relationship with UEFA and EFC. Real Madrid president Florentino Perez has publicly attacked Barcelona on more than one occasion.
