Brazilian football icon Neymar Jr. has once again made it clear that he has no plans to return to international football, insisting that his journey with the Seleção has come to an end.

The 34-year-old, who stepped away from the national team after Brazil’s disappointing exit from the 2026 FIFA World Cup, says he is at peace with his decision and believes it is time for the next generation of Brazilian stars to lead the five-time world champions.

Nigeria’s Goodness Nwachukwu has once again etched her name into the history books after setting a new world record in the Women’s F42/F44/F61/F64 Para Discus at the 2026 Commonwealth Games in Glasgow.

The Nigerian para-athlete produced a sensational throw of 39.66 metres, breaking the world record and storming to the gold medal in a dominant display. It is yet another remarkable achievement for one of Nigeria’s finest para-athletes.

Football’s governing body, FIFA, is facing mounting criticism over a controversial proposal that could fundamentally change the commercial future of the FIFA World Cup.

The plan would see FIFA create a new company, FIFA Forward Enterprise (FFE), to manage the commercial rights of the FIFA World Cup and other FIFA competitions. The company would be valued at $20 billion, with FIFA seeking to raise up to $4.2 billion by selling minority, non-controlling stakes to long-term private investors while retaining full control of football governance and competitions.
