“The staff, players and I are absolutely delighted with this hugely positive news,” McCann said. “We all have an immense sense of pride in Fin earning his spot in Steve's squad off the back of his time with us. “He deserves this recognition for the levels he's shown while on loan here. It's also a feather in the cap of the football club, and highlights what we can do for players at Killie, no matter the stage of their development. “Fin has been a breath of fresh air to work with, and we wish him nothing but the best with Scotland this summer.”

Brazil's all-time leading scorer Neymar called up for World Cup 2026 as Carlo Ancelotti turns to forward for first time. Neymar has made Brazil's World Cup squad, a selection many local analysts and former footballers deemed unlikely only days ago. The 34-year-old is Brazil's all-time top goal-scorer with 79, but has struggled to return to top fitness since he tore his left ACL in October 2023.

The Trump administration is suspending a requirement that foreign visitors from countries that have qualified for the World Cup and have bought tickets for the soccer tournament pay as much as $15,000 in bonds to enter the United States, the State Department said Wednesday.

Veteran Dutch manager Dick Advocaat has made a surprise return as head coach of Curacao national football team just one month before the country's historic World Cup debut. Advocaat stepped down from the role in February after guiding Curacao to their first-ever World Cup qualification last November, citing concerns over his daughter's health. However, following improvements in her condition, reports in the Netherlands suggested the 78-year-old was open to returning, and Curacao Football Federation president Gilbert Martina confirmed the appointment on Tuesday.

Former Spurs bosses Thomas Frank and Ange Postecoglou will be rivals once again at the World Cup this summer. However, instead of facing one another in the dugouts, they'll be going head-to-head in competing TV studios, having both penned deals to be pundits at this summer's tournament. The first match of the USA, Canada and Mexico tournament kicks off in one month's time and both will be there to provide punditry for UK TV networks.

Moises Caicedo could be available for selection when Ecuador kick off their World Cup campaign next month. World Cup 2026 gets underway on Thursday, June 11 and Ecuador face Ivory Coast in their Group E opener at Lincoln Financial Field in Philadelphia on Sunday, June 14. It had been expected that La Tri would be without Chelsea midfielder Caicedo, who is due to serve a one-match suspension.

I don't know yet. I hope to finish the season and make the decision I think is best for me and my family.
