    Borussia Dortmund and Stuttgart are reportedly preparing moves for Everton midfielder Tim Iroegbunam after his breakthrough Premier League season. Everton want to keep the 22-year-old, who remains under contract until 2027 after becoming a regular under David Moyes.

    Iroegbunam started regularly under David Moyes and is not pushing to leave, which gives Everton a stronger position. A serious financial offer may still test the club if German interest becomes concrete in the coming weeks.

    FIFA has updated its World Cup stadium code to ban fans from bringing reusable water bottles into venues. The change removes a previous allowance for empty transparent bottles and has raised fresh concerns about heat and access to water.

    Fans will need to buy water inside stadiums unless they qualify for medical or baby-care exemptions. The policy comes as several outdoor venues face heat-risk concerns, while FIFA plans hydration breaks and climate-controlled benches for players.

    Kochen served as Barcelona’s third goalkeeper and played regularly for Barca Athletic, but has not broken into the first team. A loan to Denmark would offer top-flight exposure while his contract with Barcelona runs until 2028.

    The affected tickets came from FIFA’s limited low-cost supporter allocation, distributed through U.S. Soccer’s supporter groups. American Outlaws members said the late seat assignments hurt months of planning for drums, displays and unified matchday atmosphere.
