⚪️⚫️   Udinese 0 – 1 Inter  ⚫️🔵

Inter triumphed at the Bluenergy Stadium, defeating Udinese. Inter achieved a significant victory. The match concluded with a 1-0 score, thanks to Lautaro Martinez’s goal at the 20-minute mark, marking his eleventh goal of the season. These three vital points boost Chivu’s team to 49 points, placing them 6 points ahead of Milan, who are set to play tomorrow at San Siro against Lecce, and 9 points ahead of Napoli, who will face Sassuolo at the ‘Maradona’. This marks Udinese’s second loss of 2026 under Runjaic, leaving them in 10th place with 26 points.

🔵   Napoli 1 – 0 Sassuolo ⚫️🟢

Napoli-Sassuolo concludes with a score of 1-0 at the Maradona stadium in Naples. Antonio Conte’s squad answered Cristian Chivu’s Inter and maintained their position alongside the Nerazzurri, thanks to a decisive goal from Stanislav Lobotka, who made the difference in the 7th minute of the first half. This marks a return to winning ways for the Neapolitan side, who earned three points in front of their home fans, moving past the disappointing draw with Parma. Napoli has now accumulated 43 points.

🔴🔵  Cagliari 1 – 0 Juventus  ⚪️⚫️

Cagliari achieved a significant victory by defeating Juventus at the Unipol Domus. This loss is a tough blow for Juventus, as they struggled to regain momentum in the Scudetto race, suffering a 1-0 defeat on the road. The Sardinians had not triumphed over Juve since July 29, 2020, enduring 10 matches with 8 losses and 2 draws during the Covid-19 pandemic. The key takeaway is that while Spalletti’s team controlled possession, they were unable to penetrate Pisacane’s defense. The celebration at the Unipol Domus erupted thanks to a goal from Luca Mazzitelli, who turned around a rough start to 2026 that included two losses and a draw. In the 65th minute, Mazzitelli found the net with a right-footed shot from the center of the box into the bottom right corner, assisted by Gianluca Gaetano’s cross.

🟡🔵    Parma 0 – 0 Genoa  🔴🔵     

Parma and Genoa concluded with a scoreless draw at the Ennio Tardini Stadium. The teams each earned one point from the match. Genoa controlled the first half, whereas Parma improved in the second half. Corvi triumphed in his matchup against Colombo

🔴🔵   Bologna 1 – 2 Fiorentina  ⚜️ 

Fiorentina triumphed at the Artemio Franchi Stadium. This victory was particularly meaningful as Fiorentina overcame Bologna on the day dedicated to remembering Rocco Commisso, with goals from Rolando Mandragora and Roberto Piccinini. Giovanni Fabbian netted a goal for the home side. With this win, Fiorentina levels up with Lecce, as both teams now have 17 points. Bologna, on the other hand, stays at 30 points, unable to surpass Atalanta.

 🐂      Torino 0 – 2 AS Roma  🟡🔴  

Torino and Roma meet once more, just five days after their Coppa Italia round of 16 clash, which Torino triumphed in with a score of 3-2 at the Stadio Olimpico in Rome. The only changes for this Serie A matchday 21 encounter are the venue and time. Roma has secured 42 points after defeating Torino, while Torino remains at 23 points.

🔴⚫️   AC Milan 1 – 0 Lecce  🟡🔴  

The competition for the Scudetto is heating up. Currently, it’s a close contest between Inter, who have 49 points, and AC Milan, sitting at 46 points. Milan triumphed over Lecce at San Siro. The game was ultimately settled by a slim margin, thanks to the new player Fullkrug, who, shortly after entering the match, skillfully converted a perfect assist from Leao.

🩶❤️   Cremonese 0 – 0 Hellas Verona  🟡🔵     

Cremonese and Hellas Verona concluded with a goalless draw at the Giovanni Zini Stadium.  As a result, Cremonese now shares 11th place with Sassuolo, both having 23 points. Nicola’s squad has established a 6-point cushion above the relegation zone. Meanwhile, Verona remains at the bottom, tied with Pisa, with only 14 points. Both Cremonese and Verona have made slight improvements in their league standings, but it is Hellas Verona that has the most to lament. Zanetti’s side performed significantly better in the second half, yet they were unable to find the winning goal.

  ⚪️🔵   Lazio 0 – 3 Como ⚪️🔵      

A significant setback for Lazio! Como achieved a 3-0 win at the Olimpico stadium.  Como delivered a harsh lesson to Lazio with two goals from Paz and one from Baturina. Lazio is still at 28 points, sitting in 9th place. The pressure is mounting for Lazio to begin accumulating points to ascend into the European Zone. Cremonese has gathered 23 points, placing them in 12th position.

FIFA World Cup 26’s official match ball unveiled: TRIONDA

FIFA World Cup 26’s official match ball unveiled: TRIONDA

The FIFA World Cup 26™ has reached a major milestone with the introduction of adidas TRIONDA, the tournament’s official match ball. Its name, TRIONDA, translates from Spanish as “three waves” and celebrates the historic collaboration of the three host countries: Canada, Mexico, and the United States.

The ball features a striking palette of red, green, and blue, representing each of the co-hosts. Its innovative four-panel structure with flowing geometry mimics the wave patterns referenced in the name. In the center, these panels form a triangular shape, symbolizing the union of the three nations for the first time in World Cup history.

Adding to its visual appeal, TRIONDA displays icons for each country: a maple leaf for Canada, an eagle for Mexico, and a star for the United States. Gold accents on the ball honor the FIFA World Cup Trophy, highlighting the significance of the competition’s global stage.

Advanced technology and performance features

TRIONDA incorporates several technological upgrades to enhance match performance. The deep seams within the four-panel design improve flight stability by evenly distributing drag as the ball moves through the air. This ensures more predictable trajectories during passes and shots.

Embossed icons, visible only when closely examined, enhance grip for players, especially in wet or humid conditions. The construction focuses on maintaining optimal control, allowing for precise striking, dribbling, and passing.

Connected ball technology also provides detailed tracking of each movement, assisting referees and match officials in monitoring play. This addition reflects the ongoing integration of technology into the sport to support fairness and accuracy.

Build-up to the World Cup and fan engagement

The launch of TRIONDA comes as excitement builds toward the final draw and the start of the tournament. Recent announcements have included the unveiling of the official mascots and confirmation that FIFA will donate USD 1 from each ticket sold to the FIFA Global Citizen Education Fund.

Fan engagement has been strong, with over 4.5 million supporters from 216 countries participating in the Visa Presale Draw, the first phase of ticket distribution for the highly anticipated event.

FIFA President Gianni Infantino expressed his enthusiasm, describing TRIONDA as “another iconic FIFA World Cup ball” and praising adidas for capturing the unity and passion of the host nations. He added that he looks forward to seeing the ball in action on the pitch as the tournament countdown continues.

TRIONDA is now available for purchase through official FIFA and Adidas websites, allowing fans to own a piece of the World Cup ahead of the tournament.

World Cup mascots: Maple, Zayu, and Clutch take center stage

Is a global football celebration complete without a mascot? For the 2026 edition, the answer comes in threes.

With the tournament expanding to 48 nations, the event will also feature three mascots for the three co-hosts. Each one embodies its country’s identity while playing its own special role on the pitch.

Canada is represented by a moose, Mexico by a jaguar, and the United States by a bald eagle. Together, Maple, Zayu, and Clutch aim to connect culture, tradition, and sport.

Maple the goalkeeper of Canada

Maple, wearing the number 1 shirt, is a moose symbolizing Canadian heritage. His outfit and name highlight some of the country’s most recognizable elements.

According to the description, Maple roams from coast to coast, uniting communities while reflecting the culture of the nation.

While Canada’s men’s team is better known for attack-minded players such as Alphonso Davies and Jonathan David, Maple’s antlers suggest he can cover plenty of space at the back.

Zayu the forward from Mexico

Mexico’s representative is Zayu, a jaguar in the number 9 jersey. Found mainly in the southern regions, the animal carries deep significance for ancient cultures of the country.

Zayu embodies celebration, from cuisine and dance to tradition, creating bonds that stretch beyond borders. His presence mirrors the country’s passion and pride.

Just like legendary strikers such as Javier Hernández, Cuauhtémoc Blanco, and Raúl Jiménez, Zayu leads the line with flair.

Clutch the playmaker of the United States

Clutch, a bald eagle with the number 10, fills the role of midfield organizer. The character is tied to exploration, adventure, and optimism, soaring across the vast United States while embracing different communities and games.

For American supporters, that shirt is strongly linked with Christian Pulisic, who carries the nation’s hopes heading into 2026. Clutch, too, is cast as the creative force in the middle of the field.

Looking back at past mascots

Mascots became a feature of the men’s World Cup in 1966, when England introduced World Cup Willie, a lion in a Union Jack shirt. Each edition since has created a character inspired by its host nation.

Juanito, a sombrero-wearing boy, was unveiled in Mexico in 1970, while West Germany brought Tip and Tap, two children in uniform, for 1974. Argentina presented Gauchito in 1978, a cartoon gaucho, and Spain followed with Naranjito, a cheerful orange, in 1982.

Mexico hosted again in 1986 with Pique, a jalapeño in traditional attire. Italy introduced the abstract figure Ciao in 1990, and the United States revealed Striker the dog in 1994. France continued in 1998 with Footix, a rooster in national colors.

South Korea and Japan, the first co-hosts, created Ato, Kaz, and Nik in 2002, futuristic figures known as Spheriks. Germany introduced Goleo VI and his talking football Pille in 2006. South Africa had Zakumi the leopard in 2010, and Brazil brought Fuleco the armadillo in 2014.

Russia’s choice in 2018 was Zabivaka the wolf, while Qatar presented La’eeb in 2022, a playful character resembling a traditional headpiece.

How the new 48-team 2026 World Cup works

The 2026 edition will be larger than anything the competition has seen before.

Previous tournaments from 1998 to 2022 included 32 nations and 64 fixtures in total. This time, the event expands to 48 participants and 104 matches. Merely trimming the field to 32 sides will already require 72 fixtures, which is eight more than the entire schedule of a 32-team format.

Although three countries are co-hosting, the United States will stage far more than any other nation has ever managed in a single competition. It will host 14 more fixtures than the previous record and 26 more than it did when the event came to its soil in 1994.

The first 27 days of action, from the curtain raiser through the last-32 round, will feature 96 contests without a single rest day. Only one day will stage a solitary clash, and two other days will include two fixtures. All the remaining 24 days will deliver between three and six matches.

By the final week of the group stage, the calendar will be jam-packed. From June 24 to 27, 18 games will be played—more than the entire total of the 1934 edition, which only had 17.

The abandoned plan of three-team groups

Originally, FIFA had considered creating 16 trios instead of 12 groups of four.

That plan would have produced 80 fixtures in total, noticeably fewer than 104. It would also have been simpler to follow, with the two best teams moving straight into the round of 32 to face each other in a clear bracket.

However, every team would only have been assured two matches, not three. More importantly, the structure would have been vulnerable to manipulation. With three-team groups, only three fixtures could be played, and no two at the same time. That meant one team would always complete its games earlier, leaving the final fixture open to scenarios where both sides knew exactly what outcome would secure progress.

The risk of collusion across 16 groups proved too significant, and the plan was eventually dropped despite its more compact design.

The adopted system of 12 groups of four

Instead, the competition will use 12 sections of four, echoing the approach of earlier tournaments such as the 1986, 1990, and 1994 World Cups, or more recent 24-team European Championships.

The formula is straightforward: the top two from each group advance, and they are joined by the eight best third-placed nations to complete the last 32.

It is less tidy than the three-team plan, but it ensures fairness and avoids the controversies that might have arisen otherwise.

The expanded knockout rounds

Once the field has been reduced to 32, the knockout journey follows a familiar path. The difference is simply scale.

Group winners will mostly be paired against third-placed finishers, although four of them will meet runners-up. Meanwhile, the remaining runners-up will be matched against each other.

From there, the tournament progresses in the traditional order: round of 16, quarter-finals, semi-finals, and the final.

For the first time, the eventual champion will need to play eight matches rather than seven, adding one extra step on the road to lifting the trophy.

Possible derbies and crossovers in the draw

One of the main novelties of the new calendar is that potential derbies between Serie A teams (Inter-Milan, Roma-Lazio or Juventus-Torino) can only occur in the final, unlike what happened in the last edition when the Milan derby was played in the semi-finals.

The reigning champions Bologna, winners of the last edition against Milan, could start from the round of 16 with an evocative Emilian derby against Parma, with a possible challenge to the Rossoneri in the quarterfinals. Another possible crossover between two recent former finalists is that between Juventus and Atalanta – Juventus won in the 2023/24 edition – which could also take place in the quarterfinals.

New UEFA Europa League Format

The new Europa League format features a significant alteration in the group stage, transitioning into a single 36-team League stage. Every team will compete against eight different opponents (four at home, four away). The top eight teams will progress directly to the round of 16, while teams ranking from ninth to 24th will compete in knockout round play-offs. The winners of these play-offs will advance to the last 16. Subsequently, the competition will follow a straight knockout format.
