Samuel Eto’o claims he is victim of Caf campaign before match-fixing hearing

Cameroon FA president’s lawyers lodge complaint with Fifa
They claim Caf general secretary has breached Fifa ethics code

Samuel Eto’o has accused the Confederation of African Football’s general secretary of several breaches of Fifa’s code of ethics during the investigation into allegations that he was involved in match-fixing.

The Guardian understands that Eto’o’s lawyers have lodged a complaint with world football’s governing body alleging that Véron Mosengo-Omba opened the investigation to create “negative publicity” about the former Barcelona striker, who has been president of the Cameroon Football Federation (Fecafoot) since December 2021.

Fifa court deal could open way for European league matches in US

Promoter sued Fifa over stance on matches played overseas
Miami Dolphins owner planned to host La Liga match in 2019

Fifa says it will consider changes to its policy that blocks league matches from being played in other countries. The changes are part of an agreement with a promoter to dismiss the world governing body from a lawsuit challenging that policy.

Relevent Sports lawyer Jeffrey L Kessler filed a letter on Monday in a Manhattan court stating Fifa and his client agreed to the dismissal. Keller wrote that Fifa agreed to abide by any injunction arising from the suit, which also includes US Soccer as a defendant. The agreement did not alter the suit against the US Soccer.

Ten years to go: key questions facing Saudi Arabia’s 2034 World Cup

news.movim.eu / TheGuardian · Sunday, 24 March - 08:00

Fifa and the presumptive hosts face significant challenges over human rights, worker protections and the scale of construction

Saudi Arabia will host the 2034 World Cup. We know this, despite the fact that Fifa’s bidding process does not finish until the end of 2024. But with 10 years until the tournament there is still much we don’t know. Some of these issues are important, such as the time of year in which the games will be played, but others are more significant still. With the power of the global football community to influence outcomes perhaps at its peak, here are three key areas of uncertainty:

Used, abused and deported: migrant workers land back in Bangladesh after Saudi dreams turn sour

news.movim.eu / TheGuardian · Thursday, 21 March - 08:00

As the Gulf kingdom bids to host a World Cup that will see its reliance on cheap foreign labour soar, planeloads of men already return daily to Dhaka, gaunt, dazed and broke

Among the joyful family reunions at the arrivals gate at Dhaka’s international airport, one group of travellers stands out. These men appear gaunt and dazed, most of them carrying nothing but a thin blanket they picked up on the plane. They wear tracksuits and blue rubber sandals or shoes without laces. Some walk barefoot.

All have just been deported from Saudi Arabia, and each day they arrive by the planeload. Nearly 70,000 Bangladeshi migrant workers were deported from the Gulf kingdom in 2022, mostly for not having a valid residence permit, known as an iqama .

I swore I’d never go back … but here I am, jonesing for Fifa | Dominik Diamond

news.movim.eu / TheGuardian · Friday, 23 February - 10:00 · 1 minute

After a very public breakup , Dominik Diamond had avoided the addictive football game for two years – until he was suckered in with a free trial of EA Sports FC 24

I fell off the wagon recently. Two and a half years, and all it took was one little slip. I was home one night and there it was, offered to me: a little free taste to suck me in. Before I knew it, I was hooked. I know it’s a terrible thing to do; I know it serves no purpose other than to get me to do more of it, taking my money in ever larger fistfuls as I plunge deeper and deeper into the mire of addiction. But there I was. I was back on the Fifa. (Or rather, the EA Sports FC 24, as they lost the official rights.)

It was a 10-hour free trial on Xbox Live. Ten hours, that’ll be OK, I told myself. Just a taste. See what it’s like after 30 months away . And before I know it, I’m into Ultimate Team again. This is the gaming equivalent of standing outside your ex-wife’s house trying to see what toys her new fella has bought for your kids.

As the EA Sports FC era dawns, FIFA 23 is removed from digital platforms

EA has suddenly removed downloadable versions of FIFA 23 from multiple digital storefronts. The delisting comes earlier than expected for the title and coincides with the company's launch of the newly FIFA-license-free EA Sports FC 24 .

While many reports suggest there has been a recent mass purge of all legacy FIFA games from online stores, EA has a history of delisting older sports titles at a pretty regular cadence. FIFA 22 , for instance, was delisted from digital storefronts in May, roughly seven months after the launch of the subsequent FIFA 23 . And FIFA 21 wasn't taken down from Steam until June 2022 , about eight months after FIFA 22 's launch.

FIFA 23 , on the other hand, has been delisted less than a year from its October 2022 launch. SteamDB tracking data suggests that the delisting came on September 21, the day before the new EA Sports FC became available for a 10-hour early access trial for EA Play members. The Steam store page for FIFA 23 now notes that the delisting comes "at the request of the publisher" and that the game "will not appear in search." The game also no longer appears on Steam's EA publisher page .

Test de FC 24, qui ressemble quand même beaucoup à FIFA 23

news.movim.eu / Numerama · Wednesday, 27 September, 2023 - 15:23

Nouveaux menus, nouveaux sons, nouvelles cinématiques, nouvelle charte graphique pendant les matchs… N'en déplaise aux apparences, le nouveau EA Sports FC 24 n'est qu'une petite évolution de FIFA 23, malgré toutes ses tentatives pour nous laisser penser qu'il est différent. [Lire la suite]
