As it's that time of year again, I've decided to add a Summer 2026 Transfers page for MPL clubs to the site. Any I've missed? Happy to be corrected. 😉

The Timorese men's national team secured a big 3-0 away victory over Brunei to get one step closer to qualifying for the 2026 ASEAN Championship.

If Timor-Leste maintain their advantage over Brunei in the second leg, they will advance to the 2026 ASEAN Championship group stage and will be placed in Group A, alongside Vietnam, Indonesia, Singapore and Cambodia.
