Joshua Kushner is now the kingpin in driving the sale of the World Cup to investors and family ties are tight around the projectIt isn’t just football fans and Uefa executives who want to give Gianni Infantino the red card for his plan to sell off 20% of the World Cup to a privately backed commercial enterprise. The Fifa president is also in the crosshairs of the House of Representatives Judiciary Committee in Washington and ranking Democrat member Jamie Raskin. The reason? Infantino’s plan, which is backed by Joshua Kushner’s investment fund, has, for some observers, president Trump’s sticky fingers all over it.Raskin told Politico that Fifa was “going directly into business with the Trump family”, before making reference to the peace prize Infantino awarded the president in December and Fifa’s use of office space in Trump Tower, New York. “Apparently the fake Peace Prize and giant lease with Trump Tower weren’t enough – now Infantino performs a kickback hat-trick by pursuing a multibillion-dollar deal with Jared Kushner’s brother to sell ownership stakes in the World Cup to private investors.” Continue reading...
The handling of Folarin Balogun's red card and the decision to suspend his automatic ban could lead to Norway presenting a complaint to FIFA. The biggest controversy of the 2026 World Cup was clearly the incident involving Folarin Balogun, which could end with Norway presenting a formal complaint to FIFA’s ethics committee over the decision to suspend the ban after the USMNT forward received a straight red card, according to BBC Sport. The report suggests that the federation is now considering challenging the handling of the case, with president Lise Klaveness expected to seek the backing of the federation’s board before a possible complaint is submitted to FIFA’s ethics committee. Balogun was initially expected to miss the USMNT’s Round of 16 match, a 4-1 loss to Belgium, after being sent off during the victory over Bosnia and Herzegovina. However, FIFA later suspended the ban after Donald Trump’s intervention, allowing him to play in the next match. Norway’s reaction to the Balogun decision BBC Sport also reports that the Norwegian Football Federation has expressed in a statement strong concern over the way FIFA handled the case, arguing that a direct red card should automatically lead to a one-match suspension. Balogun saw a red card but was not suspended (Michael Steele/Getty Images) This incident became a major controversy because the decision to suspend the ban was made without a public explanation beyond FIFA’s reference to a rule allowing the enforcement of a disciplinary sanction to be suspended. The Norwegian federation believes the case raises questions that go beyond Balogun, including the FIFA Peace Prize award handed to Trump when the World Cup draw was held in Washington, D.C. Belgium’s complaint Norway was not the main team affected by the suspension of Balogun’s ban, but its federation was one of those to raise concerns over the decision. The main team involved did submit an appeal asking FIFA to reconsider the ruling, but it was deemed inadmissible before the red card was ultimately rescinded. In response, the Belgian Royal Football Association had issued a statement criticizing the handling of the case: “The RBFA has still not received any grounds for this decision, nor has it received the information it has been requesting since the start of this procedure for a copy of the decision and the motivation declaring the player eligible as well as the referee’s report. Which is a breach of FIFA regulations.”
The Queens Classic – Kerr’s return, Lavelle’s stunner, wildfire smoke and all in between – shows how far the league has come and also where it can still improveTen years ago, a National Women’s Soccer League game at a baseball stadium was a sign of just how far the league had to go. A match during the 2016 season was played at a minor-league ballpark on a woefully small pitch, dubbed “shocking and embarrassing” by the league’s own stars.Come 2026, NWSL games at ballparks are showpiece events. Attendance records were shattered at Chicago’s Wrigley Field and San Francisco’s Oracle Park in the previous two seasons. Wednesday night added another milestone: Gotham FC’s 1-0 win over the Washington Spirit on a hot, hazy night at Citi Field, the regular home of Major League Baseball’s New York Mets, drew the second-largest crowd in league history (42,175) and set the record for the most attended women’s sporting event in the city’s history.

Mexico have a formidable record in their iconic stadium but for many it will always be associated with one playerAs soon as the World Cup draw was completed in Washington DC last December, the date went into the diary, circled in bold by every England fan that hoped to travel, and millions more who knew they would not. Sunday 5 July, Mexico City. If everything went to plan and Thomas Tuchel’s team topped Group L and won their last-32 tie, they would be going to the Azteca Stadium for the last 16.There was another element in play. If Mexico won their group and advanced in the last 32, they would provide the opposition. Just imagine. England to play a critical knockout tie against one of the host nations in their back yard. It is a back yard where Mexico boast a fearsome record, where they feel close to invincible, owing in part to it being about 2,240 metres above sea level. The altitude can spin the heads of opposing players, burn their lungs. It does not affect Mexico. Continue reading...
Iran responds to US homeland security secretary comments‘I was so happy when we said they could leave US soil’Iran’s football federation has responded to a senior US official celebrating their exit from the World Cup by accusing the co-hosts of peddling “lies”, saying they are “used to mistreatment”. On Monday, the US homeland security secretary, Markwayne Mullin said he performed a “happy dance” and “sung a song or two” after Iran failed to qualify for the last 32. Mullin, speaking at a briefing at the government’s special event coordination centre in Washington, said: “I’m just glad they’re [Iran] done, and they’re not coming back. “I was so happy when we were able to pull their visas and said they could leave the US soil, and I might’ve sung a song or two or maybe even danced a happy dance. I’m very happy they’re going back because there wasn’t a single team that we dealt with more than them.” Iran’s head coach, Amir Ghalenoei, argued his team were the “most oppressed” at the tournament in his first press conference and, after their final Group G match in Seattle, Iran’s captain, Mehdi Taremi, intimated the US would rather Iran not advance to the knockout stage.“We have to fight against everything here,” Taremi said after last Friday’s draw against Egypt. “I don’t know if people want it or not, but as we see it by our perspective, yeah, they are like that I think.” Ghalenoei said on numerous occasions that the treatment of his staff and players was unfair. Eleven of Iran’s wider team, including the Football Federation Islamic Republic of Iran (FFIRI) president, Mehdi Taj, were denied visas by the US authorities. They were also angry about their travel arrangements imposed by the US. On the eve of the tournament they were forced to move their training base, relocating from Arizona to Tijuana, Mexico. Responding to Mullin’s comments, a spokesperson for the FFIRI said: “Iranians are used to the mistreatment and lies of US officials, so no one in Iran is surprised by these hostile remarks. These remarks once again demonstrate that US officials have no commitment to international law or the principles expected of a host nation capable of organising a global sporting event.

The USMNT makes its highly anticipated 2026 World Cup debut against Paraguay at Los Angeles Stadium, but President Donald Trump will be noticeably absent from the stands. The USMNT is officially kicking off its 2026 World Cup journey against Paraguay at Los Angeles Stadium. The match marks a deeply symbolic return to home soil for the tournament, with American fans buzzing with the same energy that defined the historic 1994 tournament. Following the star-studded opening spectacles ahead of Mexico vs. South Africa and Canada vs. Bosnia and Herzegovina, the United States capped off the initial opening phase with its own dazzling pre-match ceremony. However, despite the immense gravity of the event for the co-host nation, President Donald Trump was notably absent from the high-profile opening match festivities. While it is rare for a sitting head of state to skip their own nation’s World Cup opener, Trump isn’t alone this week; Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum also elected to bypass El Tri’s opening 2-0 victory over South Africa at the Estadio Azteca. A general view of the 2026 World Cup Opening Ceremony in the USA. (Getty Images) The reason behind Donald Trump’s absence Andrew Giuliani, the chief executive of the White House World Cup task force, officially confirmed that the President’s absence boils down to a hyper-congested political and logistical schedule in Washington, D.C. “He’s not going to end up attending the opening game,” Giuliani told UK radio station TalkSport. “As we’ve said, his scheduling is tight. But I know he’s going to be engaged throughout this World Cup”. A major anchor keeping Trump on the East Coast is a massive sporting event packed into the upcoming weekend. The President is scheduled to remain in the nation’s capital to host the UFC Freedom 250 event right on the White House grounds this Sunday, a massive celebration that also marks his 80th birthday.
The FA’s data-driven approach towards the World Cup is into its final stages as Tuchel’s side take on New Zealand“It was hot in ’94,” thundered Alexi Lalas, the former USA defender turned Fox Sports analyst, who starred for his country when they were the sole World Cup hosts that year. “And guess what? It’s going to be hot again this time.”Lalas’s booming address came last December at the draw in Washington DC for this summer’s tournament and, to digress slightly, it was difficult not to fixate on his sheer vocality. Lalas is loud and confident, outspoken and there was the moment when he considered England’s chances at the finals. Notoriously, they failed to qualify 32 years ago. Continue reading...

For Antoine Semenyo, it was not so much a case of wrapped up in cotton wool but rather enveloped in a grey Ghana tracksuit. A couple of weeks out from their World Cup opener against Panama in Toronto, Ghana are in no position to take risks and so the Manchester City forward was rested in this friendly against Wales. He was one of the last players to join up with the squad at their base in Newport, his old stomping ground and where he spent six months on loan as a teenager.Ghana thought they would fly to Washington on Wednesday for a training camp with a victory finally under their belts and England, their second Group L opponents this summer, soon in their sights. After five straight friendly defeats since qualifying for the World Cup last October, they had to settle for a draw in Carlos Queiroz’s first game in charge after Lewis Koumas headed in a stoppage-time equaliser.

Billionaire investor uses her wealth to pursue glory but the Women’s Champions League winners cannot take the moral high groundIt has been a bad week for Michele Kang, the billionaire women’s football investor. On Wednesday the Uefa director of women’s football, Nadine Kessler, was firm on the enforcement of rules prohibiting clubs with the same owner from playing each other in European competitions, dealing a blow to Kang, who has ambitions of taking London City Lionesses into Europe’s premier competition, but also owns the tournament’s most decorated side, OL Lyonnes.Then, across the weekend, Kang teams suffered two continental final defeats, with Lyonnes losing 4-0 to Barcelona in the Champions League final before her US outfit, Washington Spirit, fell short in the Concacaf W Champions Cup with a 5-3 reverse to the Mexican side Club América.
