IN FOCUS: Senior figures in European football will discuss a boycott after Gianni Infantino revealed plans to sell off stakes in the World Cup, reports Miguel Delaney, but amid the outrage, will the federations have the courage to front up to Fifa?

Nathaniel Clyne has left Crystal Palace after the club confirmed his contract has expired. Clyne rose through the Palace academy to earn his first senior debut in October 2008 against Barnsley in the Championship. Although Clyne did not feature in the FA Cup, Community Shield and Conference League final victories, he was named on the bench for all three games under Oliver Glasner.
European football has shown an increased willingness to talk tough with Fifa but words can only be wielded so many times• FA joins criticism of Fifa plan to sell off World Cup stakesAs the World Cup neared its conclusion, one leading figure in European football pondered how Gianni Infantino might attempt to rinse away the damaging stain of the Folarin Balogun scandal. It all came down to money. “He will just announce more funds for everyone,” was the gist, although the tournament passed without any explanation of how Fifa would carve up its record $15bn (£11.2bn) haul.That was the tip of the iceberg. Infantino’s plan to sell chunks of the World Cup to private investors, announced on Tuesday, nine days after the final, has sent shock waves around the sport and left senior personnel scrambling. There is little time for a coordinated response given Fifa, at the height of what passes for football’s holiday period, has given FAs until 19 September to decide whether to accept the initial $20m payment that would effectively count as endorsement of the new scheme.

The post-Neymar era has begun in Brazil following the heartbreaking exit in the 2026 World Cup, and now head coach Carlo Ancelotti has begun the rebuilding process ahead of the next meetings without the superstar. Neymar’s legendary tenure with the Brazil national team has come to an emotional end after he played a diminished role in the 2026 World Cup, the tournament he long envisioned as the final chapter of his international career. Following a shocking Round of 16 elimination, head coach Carlo Ancelotti has officially begun reconstructing the Selecao as the program transitions into the post-Neymar era. Since taking the helm in May 2025, Ancelotti remained hesitant to rely on Neymar, repeatedly citing the star forward’s lack of match fitness as a primary concern. Despite ongoing debate among fans and local media, the Italian manager ultimately selected the former Barcelona icon for the 2026 World Cup roster, marking Neymar’s first call-up under Ancelotti’s tenure. Neymar made limited appearances during the tournament, featuring in a group-stage win over Scotland and coming off the bench in a 2-1 defeat to Norway in the Round of 16, where he converted a late penalty kick in the closing minutes. Speaking to reporters after the final whistle, the visibly emotional forward signaled that his international career had run its course: “I tried, I tried. Now it’s over. I started here; I finished here.“ Ancelotti turns attention to the 2030 cycle The 2026 World Cup represented Ancelotti’s first major international tournament in charge of Brazil. Armed with a recent contract extension through June 2030, the former Real Madrid manager remains tasked with leading the five-time champions into the next cycle. Following a brief vacation in Canada, the manager returned to work to outline his vision for the squad’s complete structural revamp. Carlo Ancelotti chegou ao Rio de Janeiro nesta terça-feira (28), retomando as atividades presenciais com a Comissão Técnica da Seleção Brasileira. Ele se reuniu com o Departamento de Seleções, na sede da CBF, para traçar os planos visando aos próximos compromissos da equipe.… pic.twitter.com/2x54a7Gv1z— brasil (@CBF_Futebol) July 28, 2026 According to a press release from the Brazilian Football Confederation (CBF), Ancelotti arrived in Rio de Janeiro on Tuesday to meet with executive leadership and his coaching staff at CBF headquarters. The meeting served to establish a unified operational roadmap across all technical departments, positioning Ancelotti as the central figure of the federation’s long-term strategy. Addressing the national team’s transition phase, Ancelotti outlined his player-selection strategy on the official CBF website: “We are going to begin assembling a new team, scouting and testing young players, while not giving up on certain athletes who were with us at the World Cup and still have plenty to contribute to the National Team.” A primary focus of the summit involved establishing tighter integration between the senior national team and Brazil’s youth development ranks. Additionally, the CBF confirmed that Ancelotti and his assistants will resume scouting domestic and international fixtures, traveling extensively to monitor candidates in the Campeonato Brasileiro and the Copa do Brasil. Brazil’s upcoming calendar With the World Cup in the rearview mirror, Brazil’s immediate focus shifts toward the two remaining FIFA international windows on the 2026 calendar. The initial phase begins in September during the extended FIFA window, where the Selecao is expected to play up to three international friendlies. Brazil is scheduled to travel down under for a pair of exhibition matches against Australia on Sept. 25 and Sept. 29 in Townsville and Brisbane, with a third opponent yet to be finalized. Another international window follows in November, while CONMEBOL’s qualifying campaign for the 2030 World Cup is slated to kick off in the second half of 2027. The 2030 qualification process will ope
It says everything about Danny Welbeck that senior figures at Brighton were convinced England should have taken the veteran striker to the World Cup as a back-up. Welbeck featured in 37 out of Brighton's 38 Premier League games last season. Finally, there is Welbeck's presence behind the scenes.
The Brazilian star found himself at the center of debate following his decision to spend part of his day off at the event, but he has now addressed the controversy directly with a pointed question. Neymar has responded strongly after facing criticism over his appearance at a poker tournament while Santos was competing in the Copa Sudamericana. The Brazilian star found himself at the center of debate following his decision to spend part of his day off at the event, but he has now addressed the controversy directly with a pointed question. The former Brazil international, who recently stepped away from international action after the 2026 World Cup, insisted that his commitment to the club has never been in doubt. He argued that the criticism ignored the work he had already put in behind the scenes as he continued rebuilding his fitness following the tournament. The controversy began after the 34-year-old was seen participating in the BSOP Winter poker tournament while Santos prepared for a Copa Sudamericana playoff match against Universidad Central in Venezuela. Since he had only recently returned from his post-World Cup break and was following a personalized fitness program, the coaching staff decided not to include him in the traveling squad. Photos from the poker event quickly spread across social media, leading many supporters and commentators to question the 34-year-old’s priorities. Critics argued that a senior figure should have remained closer to the squad despite not being selected for the match. According to reports, Neymar had already completed a morning training session before attending the tournament. The following day, he was back at the club’s training center as scheduled. The question that silenced the debate Neymar eventually decided to answer the criticism himself through a video recorded at the Santos training facility. While preparing for another gym session, he explained the sequence of events before delivering the remark that became the biggest talking point. “I was here getting ready for my second training session, and I remembered that during my day off, a lot of people were talking about me playing poker and all that.” The Brazilian then reminded supporters that his training schedule had not been interrupted. “I trained in the morning, I didn’t go to the match because I had just returned to training, and the next day I was already off.” He then posed the pointed question that immediately attracted attention: “Can I train, or are you going to keep criticizing me? Mind your own business.” Recovery remains the priority Neymar emphasized that attending the poker tournament did not interfere with his recovery process. He completed his scheduled workout before the event and continued training afterward as Santos gradually reintegrated him into full team activities. Club manager Cuca has carefully managed the veteran forward’s workload following the World Cup. Instead of rushing him back into competitive action, Santos has focused on restoring his match fitness through individual sessions before returning him to regular competition. The club believes this measured approach will help Neymar contribute consistently during the remainder of the domestic campaign.
Alejandro Garnacho's only season at Chelsea did not go to plan, a fact perhaps best illustrated by his solitary Premier League goal. In his defence, he started only nine matches following Liam Rosenior's appointment - a 29-game period that also included Calum McFarlane's second spell as interim manager at the end of the campaign. In total, Garnacho scored a more respectable eight goals and provided four assists in 43 appearances last season.
