The Community Shield is taking centre stage this weekend (Picture: Getty) Arsenal take on Manchester City in the Community Shield on Sunday with the first piece of silverware of the season up for grabs. But the traditional curtain-raiser will not be staged at Wembley, with the Principality Stadium in Cardiff hosting the game instead. This is because The Weekend have booked Wembley from August 14 until August 19 as part of their ‘After Hours Til Dawn’ tour. This means Arsenal face a trip of around 130 miles from London to Cardiff, while Manchester City will be making their own 140 mile journey from the North West.

The clash in the Welsh capital will be the third time the Community Shield has taken place away from Wembley since the national stadium reopened in 2007. Villa Park played host to Chelsea vs Manchester City in 2012 when Wembley was being used to host football at the Olympics. And it was Leicester’s King Power Stadium that was chosen to host the 2022 edition between Manchester City and Liverpool, when Wembley was busy staging the Women’s European Championship final. Arsenal beat Manchester United in the 2005 FA Cup final in Cardiff (Picture: Getty) Principality is no stranger to hosting big games The Principality Stadium, which was referred to as the Millennium Stadium at the time, was the venue for the FA Cup final and the Community Shield between 2001 and 2006 and for the League Cup final between 2001 and 2007. Moving English football’s domestic cup finals to Cardiff was due to the old Wembley being demolished and the new Wembley being built in its place. The stadium was also chosen to host the 2017 Champions League final between Real Madrid and Juventus, which the Spanish giants won 4-1. Wales used the Millennium Stadium for their home games between 2000 and 2009, before moving the majority of their fixtures to the Cardiff City Stadium. The Principality Stadium mainly hosts rugby matches (Picture: Getty) The Welsh rugby team, meanwhile, has continuously used the venue for its home games since the stadium opened in 1999. The ground, which has a capacity of just under 74,000 and is the fourth-largest in the UK, will host six games at Euro 2028 including the opening match and a quarter-final. It is also the only major multi-purpose stadium in the UK which has a fully retractable roof – although it will be open for the game on Sunday.

Lionel Messi #10 of Inter Miami CF during the MLS match against LAFC. Lionel Messi and the task of defending the World Cup title The year 2026 will be especially significant for Messi, not only because of Inter Miami’s ambitions but also because he’ll head into the 2026 World Cup aiming to defend the title. The triumph in Qatar in 2022 marked one of the defining peaks of his career, and now in North America he’ll enter another tournament wearing the champions’ badge for the first time. Drawn into Group J, Argentina will open its campaign against Algeria on Tuesday, June 16, in Kansas City at Arrowhead Stadium. The second match will be against Austria on Monday the 22nd in Arlington at AT&T Stadium, before closing the group stage against Jordan on Saturday the 27th, also in Texas.

Expected to be his final World Cup appearance, Messi will have a chance to add to his record haul with a squad coached by Lionel Scaloni that remains one of the strongest in international soccer after winning the last World Cup and back-to-back Copa América titles.

Chelsea reportedly already have two potential replacements in mind for Enzo Fernández, in case the Argentine departs for Manchester City. Chelsea are preparing contingency plans in case Enzo Fernandez departs for Manchester City, with the Premier League leaders reportedly closing in on a deal worth up to £120 million for the Argentine midfielder. According to Fabrizio Romano, City have been given until Friday to submit their final offer, putting real pressure on both clubs to resolve the situation quickly. Rather than wait to see how things unfold, Chelsea have already begun scouting potential replacements. According to Team Talk’s Graeme Bailey, two names have emerged as the club’s primary targets: Alex Scott of Bournemouth, a 22-year-old who has already seen previous approaches rejected by his club, and Adam Wharton of Crystal Palace, another 22-year-old who has impressed enough to draw interest from multiple top sides. Scott in particular has been a recurring target for Chelsea across recent transfer windows, with Bournemouth also having turned down interest from Arsenal, Liverpool and Manchester United for the midfielder. Wharton, meanwhile, would represent a similarly significant investment, with both moves expected to require substantial fees regardless of which player Chelsea ultimately pursues. 🚨🔵 Chelsea are yet to receive any official bid for Enzo Fernández as of 4pm UK time today — 25 hours before the deadline for the exit.#CFC do not change their stance: £120m net, no Euros and with payment terms details clarified to all parties already since May. pic.twitter.com/5JYHI7rPO4— Fabrizio Romano (@FabrizioRomano) August 13, 2026 For now, everything hinges on what happens with Fernandez. Should Manchester City meet Chelsea’s valuation before Friday’s deadline, the west London club appears ready to move quickly on one of its two identified targets to fill the void in midfield. Where things stand with Rodri Much of City’s urgency around Fernandez traces back to their own ongoing situation with Rodri. Barcelona have been negotiating to sign the Spanish midfielder, with City having rejected an initial offer before Barcelona reportedly returned with an improved proposal in the region of €65-70 million. Nothing is finalized yet, but reports suggest Rodri would prefer a move to Barcelona over any other option, and City have only shown real interest in bringing in Fernandez as insurance if the Spaniard midfielder does eventually leave. City have already made moves in midfield According to Fabrizio Romano, Ayyoub Bouaddi is set to become a new City player once the move is formally announced, while Tijjani Reijnders’ transfer to Al-Qadsiah is reportedly close to being finalized — signaling City are already reshaping their midfield regardless of how the Fernandez and Rodri situations ultimately play out.
