Niklas Sule has reversed his retirement from football, aged 30, to join German amateur club SV Tiefenbach.
The centre-back, most recently of Borussia Dortmund, announced in May that he would retire from playing at the end of the 2025-26 campaign.
The former Germany and Bayern Munich defender said that injuries were the primary factor in his decision to step away from the sport.
“I’m really looking forward to experiencing football from a completely different perspective again, where it’s purely about the game itself and not about business or money,” Sule told Sky Sport DE of his return to SV Tiefenbach.

Lamu County stands out internationally, winning the United Cities and Local Governments (UCLG) Peace Prize which was awarded at the World Congress in Tangier, Morocco. This underscores the transformative power of community driven peacebuilding, security collaboration, and local resilience.
As peace and stability continue to take root, they create an enabling environment for investment, trade, tourism, and sustainable development.
These foundations are critical to unlocking the full potential of strategic initiatives such as the #LAPSSETCorridor, which seeks to connect communities, expand economic opportunities, and strengthen regional integration across Eastern Africa.
Peace is not only a social achievement, it is essential infrastructure for development.

If the last few days of this World Cup didn’t teach you anything about humans, I fear you may never learn.
Jeremy Doku wanted to leave the Belgian camp to be there for the birth of his first child. There was outrage. A french media personality criticised him publicly. Called him names. Said he was throwing away a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to cut an umbilical cord.
Didier Deschamps' mother passed away. He needed to leave. Everyone understood. "Rest in peace." "Take all the time you need." Full compassion. No questions asked.
Read that again.
We are comfortable with a man leaving to bury his mother - but a man leaving to witness the birth of his child is controversial?
That’s an express show of the insensitivity that has become prevalent today because everyone has an opinion on everyone’s lives.
Death gets grace. Life doesn't.
That is the hypocrisy.
Once a celebrity dies, watch the entire timeline filled with people saying
"give people their flowers while they're alive" and "cherish your loved ones" but it's performance. It's paparazzi.
Because the moment a man actually chooses his family in real time, over work, over ambition, over the World Cup - suddenly he's irresponsible.
We only honour love when it's too late. We only respect presence when someone is gone.
If you ever find yourself having to choose between your family and your work, choose your family. 100% of the time. Not 99.
Workplace is ruthless. If Doku drops a stinker during a game, nobody cares about his sacrifice, HE WILL BE TAKEN OFF.
Your family IS the once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.
May God strengthen the family of the bereaved and may he add more joy and laughter to the family celebrating new life.
Paul Njuguna, a retired technical manager at the Agricultural Development Corporation, invested Ksh 16 million in 2019 to set up Elgon Pine, a refined oil and animal feed plant in Eldoret. At its peak, the plant processed 90 tonnes of canola, sunflower, and soya annually, with capacity for 300 tonnes. Njuguna contracted about 100 farmers who supplied raw materials, while he also farmed 10 acres himself.
The business also produced poultry feeds and soap from crop by-products.
The venture collapsed after Kenya Power slapped him with a Ksh 400,000 bill in August 2021, compared to his usual monthly bill of about Ksh 30,000. Njuguna disputed it as an error and filed a complaint, but Kenya Power claimed underbilling and refused to adjust. When he failed to pay, Kenya Power disconnected electricity to both his plant and home. Though EPRA ruled in his favour and ordered reconnection, the power was never restored, forcing him to shut down operations.
The shutdown affected the entire value chain - contracted farmers, suppliers, and employees - all of whom lost income. Njuguna now questions whether the disconnection was deliberate sabotage and why Kenya does little to protect small industrial ventures. His case has raised concerns about how utility billing errors and slow dispute resolution can destroy promising local businesses and the livelihoods tied to them.
We have lost once. We have lost twice. We may even lose a third time. But as long as this club exists, we will never give up. That's the spirit of The Arsenal. IT'S NOT DONE! 🔴⚪

In Kruger National Park, South Africa, veteran ranger Sipho Nkosi suffered a heart attack while on solo patrol. His vehicle was found empty, and search teams began looking for him.
What the park’s remote trail cameras revealed broke the hearts of everyone who saw the footage.
An old bull elephant — known to rangers as “Mnumzane” (Zulu for “Sir”) — had found Sipho’s body. For three full days and nights, the elephant refused to leave. He stood guard, gently touching the ranger with his trunk, chasing away hyenas and jackals that came too close, and even covering parts of the body with branches and leaves.
On the third night, the elephant was still there — visibly grieving, swaying slowly beside his fallen friend. Only when the full recovery team arrived with vehicles did Mnumzane finally step back, watching solemnly as they carried Sipho away.
Park officials later confirmed that Sipho had rescued this same elephant as a calf years earlier after poachers killed his mother. The elephant had never forgotten.
One colleague who viewed the footage whispered:
“He didn’t come to say goodbye. He came to make sure no one disrespected his brother.”
Mnumzane still visits the exact spot regularly. Rangers now leave fresh water and fruit there in honor of both.
Noni Madueke on religion within the Arsenal squad: “It’s fantastic that we have a squad that is not ashamed of that. We believe it gives us such a massive boost when we go on to the pitch, that we’re not alone.”
“We believe that we have God fighting for us. It just brings us closer together. We’re so close, but I feel like [we’re closer] because of it & long may it continue for sure.”
“Before every game, we pray together for a few minutes & then also at the hotel, studying the bible & just praying. Not even just always praying, just seeing if we’re all good, checking on each other.”
“There are probably 10 of us, so a few of us contribute. Maybe [we pick] a scripture, we talk about it, read about it, see what everyone is going through, how we can help, pray for each other, stuff like that, so it’s really good.” 🙏 [@premierleague]
