The soccer World Cup being held in Qatar next month will have areas for drunk fans to sober up, its chief executive said in a television interview.
The Nov. 20-Dec. 18 World Cup is the first to be held in a Muslim country with strict controls on alcohol, presenting unique challenges for organizers of an event sponsored by a major beer brand and often associated with beer-drinking fans.
Barcelona's kits will look different in El Clasico against Real Madrid this Sunday. Instead of featuring the logo of their current commercial sponsor Spotify, they'll switch to the famous OVO owl from singer Drake.
Confusing, isn't it? To be clear, Barcelona hasn't thrown away their multimillion, lever-pulling deal with Spotify. In fact, the idea of adorning the blaugrana jerseys with the rapper branding came from the very own music streaming service to celebrate the artist's success on the platform.
El mediocampista mexicano Erick Gutiérrez no desaprovechó una de las escasas titularidades que ha tenido en la temporada 2022-23 y anotó la apertura de la cuenta en la goleada 5-0 del PSV sobre el FC Zürich en la Europa League.
Guti no tuvo que esperar demasiado para demostrarle a su técnico, el ex jugador Ruud van Nistelrooy, el hambre que tiene por ser titular en los Granjeros, ya que a los nueve minutos se hacía presente en el marcador.
MANCHESTER, England - Both Manchester City and Liverpool spent big to revamp their striker department in the close season, with Erling Haaland and Darwin Núñez tipped to be rivals atop the goalscoring charts, but so far it has been no contest.
City's capture of Haaland and Liverpool's addition of Núñez represented a style shift for both, focusing their forward lines around a central striker, as last season's title rivals tried something different.
Pese a que no pudo marcar goles, Santiago Giménez de todos modos se las arregló para aportar su granito de arena en el empate 2-2 del Feyenoord ante el FC Midtjylland en la Europa League.
Tal como ocurrió el fin de semana pasado en la Eredivisie, el técnico Arne Slot decidió darle la titularidad al delantero mexicano en desmedro del brasileño Danilo.

Pepsi is not an official sponsor of the 2022 FIFA World Cup — that position belongs to eternal rival Coca-Cola. But a smart way to save money while cashing in on the global phenomenon is by associating with the event in more creative ways — like by getting Lionel Messi, Paul Pogba, Ronaldinho, Fabrizio Romano, RECEBA!!! and Kaljit Atwal to sell your products in a place that vaguely looks like Qatar but isn't.
The football that was at the feet — and hand — of Diego Maradona as he shocked the world with acts of both brazen gamesmanship and breathtaking skill in Mexico 36 years ago has been put up for auction and is expected to sell for at least $2.8 million.
The ball in question is from the 1986 World Cup quarterfinal between Argentina and England, in which Maradona scored six minutes into the second half by sneakily punching the ball over England goalkeeper Peter Shilton into the net, a goal he said afterwards had been helped by the "Hand of God."
En el día de su aniversario 106, Club América comienza a ilusionarse con el título 14 de su historia. La escuadra azulcrema visitó el Estadio Cuauhtémoc y venció a Puebla 6-1, en un verdadero concierto de fútbol, uno que además dejó practicamente sellado su paso a las semifinales del Apertura 2022.
El aterrizaje de las Águilas en la Angelópolis no fue muy placentero. Un chaparrón retrasó el inicio del partido y mientras secaban sus alas, Jordi Cortizo con un rebote algo fortuito adelantó a La Franja.
Napoli volvió a golear al Ajax y aseguró su boleto en los octavos de final de la Champions League. Los italianos se impusieron con un cómodo 4-2 y tuvieron a Hirving Lozano como guía de la victoria.
La alegría del Chucky, sin embargo, fue la tristeza de Edson Álvarez y Jorge Sánchez. Ambos fueron titulares con el Ajax y tras la derrota miran con incertidumbre la posibilidad de avanzar a la segunda fase del máximo torneo europeo.
