From near-bottom of the table Excelsior to the UWCL and Oranje Leeuwinnen in 10 months. Spoke to Twente’s Lynn Groenewegen about her whirlwind year and where her future lies.

So far at the 2026 FIFA Epstein Cup before a ball kicked:
- Senegal & Uzbekistan squads treated like criminals upon arrival given full cavity searches;
- Africa’s best referee sent back to Somalia despite having a diplomatic passport;
- Iraq team photographer sent back despite valid visa;
- AIPS (international sport journalist association) calling on FIFA to sort out unacceptable visa issues of African & Iranian journalists;
- 90% of Moroccan fans with tickets denied entry
- 14 members of Iran backroom staff denied visas

Not a word from Gianni ”today I feel black/gay/disabled etc” Infantino.

He is only 33 years old. This is the biggest moment of his career. He’s probably been waiting for it for months.

But who will talk about it? There are 48 teams, hundreds of players, and representatives from all over the world. Who will finally speak up?

This is clear discrimination and political interference in sport. No team should be made to compete under conditions no other country would ever accept.

FIFA has a lot to answer for.

Ireland have 3 chances, and net 3. Welcome back to the old, defensively fragile Netherlands… it looked so good last time out despite all these major absences.

Israel yesterday kidnapped four women. Two are footballers in the Palestinian National Team.

Their names are: Natali Abu Dia and Rand Halwani.

Is it normal to kidnap footballers, @FIFAcom? Where are sports media organisations? This story should be the headline everywhere.

During yesterday’s parade, Arsenal fans were seen protesting against the club’s new Israeli-linked sponsor, Deel, while also showing support for former kitman Mark Bonnick, who was fired after speaking out against genocide.

At the Ullevaal Stadion 1hr 15mins before kick-off as a fan and the kiosk I went to on the concourse already down to their last water bottles - was nearly told to try elsewhere.

Do UEFA learn nothing after ability to get water was an issue at the final last year?
