    September 2025

    Real Madrid are challenging Spain’s refereeing structure after Dean Huijsen’s controversial red card in their 2-1 win at Real Sociedad. The Technical Committee of Referees will review the incident, with VAR official Figueroa Vazquez likely to be sidelined for failing to intervene. Madrid plan to escalate complaints to FIFA, submitting reports of refereeing errors across two seasons. The club’s official channel condemned the decision, accusing officials of damaging sporting integrity, and called for international oversight to improve Spanish officiating standards in the wake of repeated controversies.

    Nottingham Forest are set to make a £45m offer for Tottenham midfielder Lucas Bergvall after having an earlier £38m bid rejected. BBC Sport says the Sweden international wants the move to the City Ground this summer.

    Forest need midfield reinforcements after Elliot Anderson’s record move to Manchester City. Oliver Glasner said he expects new arrivals before Forest’s Portugal training camp, with the club targeting quality additions rather than another huge squad rebuild.

    FIFA plans crackdown on overseas league matches after UEFA reluctantly clears LaLiga and Serie A fixtures

    FIFA
    October 2025

    FIFA is preparing to revise its global competition regulations to potentially ban domestic league matches staged abroad, following UEFA’s reluctant approval for Villarreal vs Barcelona in Miami and AC Milan vs Como in Perth. FIFA’s legal team is now exploring whether a full prohibition is enforceable under international football law.
    UEFA president Aleksander Ceferin emphasized the exceptional nature of the approvals, citing outdated FIFA rules from 2014 that lack clarity on such cases. FIFA aims to close loopholes by early 2026, amid concern that moving league fixtures overseas undermines home-fan access and distorts competition fairness. U.S. Soccer’s decision on hosting rights remains uncertain, with MLS reportedly opposing European league incursions.

    Al-Ettifaq filed an official complaint with the Saudi Authority for Intellectual Property over Al-Ittihad’s registration of the ITTI trademark. Al-Ettifaq argues the name has long been tied to its supporters, merchandise, media identity and commercial activity.

    The club submitted chants, products and historical media material as evidence that it used ITTI first. Al-Ittihad registered the trademark in July as part of a commercial strategy, leaving the authority to decide which rights can continue.

    August 2025

    Tottenham’s improved €70m bid for Nico Paz has been rejected by Como, who remain determined to keep him this season. Spurs identified Paz as a top target after missing out on Eberechi Eze, but the Argentine prefers a Real Madrid return. Spurs’ earlier €40m bid was also rejected. Real Madrid hold a €10m buy-back clause active in 2026 and intend to trigger it, complicating Tottenham’s pursuit. For now, Paz remains at Como, resisting Spurs’ advances while planning a future back at Madrid.

    Thursday

    Memphis Depay is reportedly preparing a €30m claim against Corinthians after the Brazilian club declined to honour what he says was an agreed two-year contract extension. The Netherlands forward had already publicly accused the club of breaching its commitment.

    The reported claim covers overdue payments from his previous deal plus salary and a signing fee tied to the proposed extension. Corinthians say they abandoned the renewal because another large commitment would threaten the club’s financial sustainability.

    26 September 2026

    Luka Modric became Croatia’s oldest goalscorer as the 41-year-old captain helped his country beat the Czech Republic 2-1 in Prague. His second-half strike was his 30th international goal and broke new ground for the national team.

    Adam Karabec quickly equalised for the hosts before Ivan Perisic crossed for Marco Pasalic to head Croatia back in front. A later Czech equaliser was ruled out by VAR, allowing Croatia to complete the Nations League victory.
