Norwegian team Brann won a court verdict on fans' right to sing 'Uefa mafia'.

The Norwegian team Brann won a landmark freedom of expression dispute with the Court of Arbitration for Sport (Cas), which ruled that Uefa should not have fined them for fans singing "Uefa mafia" or flying banners with the same message at Women's Champions League matches. In 2024, the European football governing body penalized Brann twice, with a third action ongoing. Uefa claimed that the instances violated its regulations, which hold clubs accountable for "offensive statements of a provocative nature" from the stands. Brann filed the first two cases with Uefa's appeals committee. The first was dismissed, therefore Brann moved the issue to Cas in the autumn of 2024, which found in favor of the Norwegian club on March 31. The written justifications will be provided this week. "We are very pleased with the ruling from Cas," said Aslak Sverdrup, Brann's president. "It is not every day that a Norwegian club moves all of football Euro...

According to The Athletic, Carlo Ancelotti's stance on the Real Madrid job has changed due to interest from Brazil.


Real Madrid manager Carlo Ancelotti has been adamant about his future since coming to the club three years ago: he will not leave unless he is fired. However, recent reports from the Spanish capital suggest that he may be reconsidering his attitude.

Following a humiliating 4-1 defeat to Argentina last week, Brazil opted to fire manager Dorival Junior on Saturday, reigniting their interest in Ancelotti until 2023. According to The Athletic, Ancelotti is CBF President Ednaldo Rodrigues' 'dream' signing, with Al-Hilal manager Jorge Jesus the other key option. Brazil wants their next manager to take over before their next South American qualifiers, which means that any manager will most likely have to step down before the Club World Cup in June, which Jesus is happy to do.

On the other hand, Ancelotti is rumored to be questioning his entire commitment to Real Madrid. Earlier this season, the Italian declared that he hoped to complete Florentino Perez's mandate with him until 2029. However, the wear and stress of the job is beginning to take its toll, and Ancelotti is becoming more open to the thought of exploring his options.

Aware of conversations between Real Madrid and Bayer Leverkusen manager Xabi Alonso, Valdebebas is also doubting his next steps due to leaks from club officials. Davide Ancelotti, Carlo's assistant manager and son, plans to quit the club at the end of the season, which would be a professional and personal blow.

Alonso has openly stated that he will stay at Leverkusen for the next year, but stories from the Spanish capital continue to suggest that he is a strong possibility to succeed Ancelotti if he leaves. Speaking ahead of their Copa del Rey semi-final return leg against Real Sociedad, Ancelotti revealed that the hard Real Madrid schedule had worn him down, and that encouraging his players was taking a toll on him.

Thierry Henry was denied a joyful homecoming as France was defeated by gold medal winners Spain.

Exactly 36 years after Vinnie Jones, Dave Beasant, Lawrie Sanchez, and others ripped up the rulebook to propel Bobby Gould's Wimbledon to a storied FA Cup victory, Thierry Henry's France fell agonisingly short of capturing an emotional Olympic gold medal in front of a sold-out Parc des Princes in Paris. Henry, who gave his young French team the nickname the 'Crazy Ones' due to their fun-loving nature, won nearly everything as a player, and despite the stars appearing to align for a historic gold medal on home turf, the Arsenal legend was overshadowed by Santi Denia's slick Spaniards in a dramatic 5-3 extra-time defeat. Sergio Camello of Rayo Vallecano was their unexpected late nemesis, dunking French goalkeeper Guillaume Restes with 100 minutes on the clock to startle a stunned capacity crowd. And he delivered a virtual carbon copy of that finish with the game's final kick, charging in on goal as the French flung bodies forward to slot past Restes and cruelly ...
