Premier League kan ikke ignorere Sudan • josimar.no Manchester Citys eiere har helt bensin på bålet i Sudan ved å sørge for at kinesisk-produserte bomber og emiratiske pansrede kjøretøy med franske våpensystemer brukes i krigføringen.

Silence over Sudan: why do Manchester City’s owners get away with so much? Two midweek matches in England had a backdrop of war and geopolitics, but only one drew large protests

På denne datoen i 1960 vart Diego Maradona fødd. Seksti år seinare gav @josimarfootball.bsky.social ut Maradona-utgåva, som er omtrent så nær perfeksjon eit tidsskrift om sport kan kome, og som for å skryte var min idé 😎

Afghan women’s football team makes international return after four years Afghanistan women's refugee team played their first match in a FIFA-organised four-team friendly competition in Morocco.

The fact that an Afghanistan women's refugee team is now playing in a FIFA-sanctioned tournament is that little glint of light that we all need.

It's testament to some incredible, courageous and persistent women who will not let Afghan women be erased from sport.

Sterkt. AP gir @josimarfootball.bsky.social en stor del av æren for at 777-svindelen ble avslørt og at de bla ikke kjøpte Everton.

Brash Investor in Global Soccer Clubs Is Charged With Fraud

Please allow @josimarfootball.bsky.social, @pbsportswriter.bsky.social and myself a minute of self-congratulation. We wrote a total of 39 articles on 777 Partners' house of cards. It was time well spent.

Uefa plans to relax multiclub ownership declaration rules after Crystal Palace furore Uefa is planning to give clubs more time to resolve potential multiclub ownership issues next season

Uefa is bending over so far backwards to accommodate MCOs that it is now in a position to break the world limbo dancing record.

MCOs along with private equity ownership are the two factors that most threaten the future of club football.

"The volte-face increasingly looks like the last act of a piece of political theatre that allowed UEFA’s senior leadership to signal its support for the people of Gaza, while avoiding taking any action to help them."

The migrant soldiers - josimarfootball.com For months, the Russian army has secretly recruited hundreds, if not thousands, of jobless migrant workers in Qatar to fight on the frontline against Ukraine.

Why are migrant workers in Qatar being recruited as cannon-fodder for Russia in Ukraine, and is labour surplus from the 2022 World Cup responsible? Brilliant reporting from @samindrakunti.bsky.social and @bobbyperu.bsky.social in @josimarfootball.bsky.social josimarfootball.com/2025/09/25/t...

Many migrant workers who came to Qatar to build the 2022 WC infrastructure found themselves jobless after the tournament. @josimarfootball.bsky.social reveals how some of them have been recruited by the Russian army, are fighting and die on the Ukrainian front.
