In a space of one year went from an unknown quantity to being pursued by Premier League giants Newcastle and Chelsea.
"When it's your time, it will happen. No one can stop it. When it's not your time, nothing can force it."
📝 𝗗𝗘𝗔𝗟 𝗗𝗢𝗡𝗘: Igor Akinfeev has renewed his contract with CSKA until 2027.
It will be his 35th year with the club. Akinfeev's first training session at CSKA was at the age of 4, and now he has 929 career matches under his belt, 382 of which were clean sheets.
He was supposed to hang up his boots (and gloves) up after this season but has been persuaded to stay for one more campaign.
He's also a Football Manager legend for those who know.

❤️🇿🇦 The entire South African national team lined up to take pictures and sign the jersey of the ONLY kid who showed up to visit them at their hotel in Pachuca.
They also signed his World Cup album and the coach gifted him the South Africa jersey. 🏆👏🏼
Residents of the Luiz Villar street in Brazil painted 38 Brazil flags with about 270 litres of paint ahead of the World Cup! 🤯
Nobody takes the World Cup more serious than Brazil.
Maja Chwalinska has earned more prize money at this year’s Roland Garros than she’s earned in her entire career.
Her total career earnings before Roland Garros:
$864,030.
What she’s earned at this tournament:
$870,000.
She will be the new world No. 30 when the new rankings come out.
She started Roland Garros as the world No. 114.
A life-changing journey that started with a dream from qualifying.
She took a 4 month break after a 2 year battle with depression due to the pressure & stress of playing professional tennis.
She didn’t know if she would ever return to this sport.
Everything she’s earned this tournament and throughout her entire career has been earned the hard way.
The fact that she’s where she is today is nothing short extraordinary. 🥹

🚨 Tahith Chong remains the only player in Curaçao's current national team squad to have actually been born on the island. Everyone else in the squad were born in Netherlands. 🇳🇱
The 26-year-old came through at Manchester United, represented the Netherlands at youth level, and switched allegiance to Curaçao last year to represent his country of birth. 🇨🇼
And he's about to represent them at the 2026 World Cup. ❤️
