Wednesday, February 25 2026 - Costa Rica footballer Derrikson Quiros has broken up with his fiancée just three days after he proposed to her on the pitch as football lovers watched.  The Xelaju player, who recently played in a National League Clausura match, chose to propose to his girlfriend, Wendy, after the match ended.  He went down on one knee to propose and she accepted, after which they shared a kiss.  However, only three days after their public engagement, Quiros announced that he has split with his girlfriend.  "Yes, it is true that my relationship has ended," he wrote on his Instagram Stories. "It was a difficult personal situation, like any breakup, but I prefer to handle it with respect and maturity."  The Costa Rican footballer didn't specify what caused this shocking turn of events.  

Tuesday, February 24 2026 - Curacao manager, Dick Advocaat, has resigned from his role, just three months after helping them to become the smallest nation to ever qualify for a World Cup. Advocaat, 78, made the decision in order to care for his daughter, who is 'experiencing serious health problems', as per Dutch outlet AD. 'I've always said that family comes before football,' the former  Rangers, Sunderland, Fenerbahce manager said. 'This is therefore a natural decision. 'That said, I will greatly miss Curacao, its people, and my colleagues. I consider qualifying the smallest nation in the world for the World Cup one of the highlights of my career. 'I am proud of my players, staff and board members who believed in us.' Advocaat will be replaced by another experienced Dutch coach in Fred Rutten with immediate effect.   The 78-year-old missed the decisive World Cup qualifying match against Jamaica in Kingston in November after being forced to return home because his wife was ill. Advocaat was later said to burst into tears in front of the TV as his side drew 0-0 to make history. Curacao have been drawn against Germany, Ecuador and the Ivory Coast at this summer's tournament.

Monday, February 23 2026 - The new Dutch government has sworn in 38-year-old centrist Rob Jetten as the country's youngest-ever prime minister and the first openly gay one. Mr. Jetten pulled off a stunning election win in October, coming from behind to dethrone the far-right Freedom Party (PVV) led by firebrand politician Geert Wilders by a razor-thin margin. Jetten takes office 117 days after last year’s general election and is also the first openly gay Dutch leader. He succeeds Dick Schoof, whose government collapsed in the summer of 2025, triggering snap elections. Jetten’s party scored a narrow victory over the far-right Party for Freedom (PVV) led by Geert Wilders. Jetten now leads a coalition made up of his own Democrats' 66 (D66), the center-right Christian Democratic Appeal (CDA), and the liberal People’s Party for Freedom and Democracy (VVD). Together, the three parties control just 66 of the 150 seats in parliament, meaning that the new prime minister will depend on opposition support from day one. His government is planning a big splurge on defense, pouring billions more euros into the military to reach the NATO spending target of 5 percent of gross domestic product. Jetten’s government will also press ahead with closely watched plans to slash back emissions from the Netherlands’ massive livestock industry

Wednesday, February 25 2026 - Benfica midfielder accused of racially abusing Vinicius Jr during last week's Champions League clash, is reportedly claiming the Real Madrid winger referred to him as a dwarf or midget. Gianluca Prestianni,, who has been given a provisional one-match ban by UEFA, is set to miss the second leg of the play-off tie on Wednesday, one week after the ugly scenes that followed Vinicius' winner in the 50th minute of the first leg in Lisbon Prestianni is alleged to have directed the word 'mono', Spanish for 'monkey', at Vinicius after the Brazilian's mocking celebration in front of the Benfica supporters. But the 20-year-old Argentine star has denied using racist language and instead claims he used the homophobic slur 'maricon', Spanish for 'f****t', in response to being taunted about his height Standing at 5ft 5in, Prestianni is among the shortest players in the Champions League and, according to The Times, his main defence is that he acted in retaliation after Vinicius referred to him as a dwarf.Insiders have told the newspaper that this defence will not wash as an excuse to use racist or discriminatory language. Vinicius Jr made the accusation of racist abuse to the referee after Prestianni was seen covering his mouth with his shirt while speaking to the Brazilian. The match was delayed by 10 minutes after the allegation of racism was made by Vinicius. Kylian Mbappe claimed he also heard Prestianni use the racist insult five times, insisting after the match that the footballer should never be allowed to compete in the Champions League again. Both racist and homophobic abuse are breaches of Article 14 of the UEFA's disciplinary rules, meaning Prestianni could be set for a lengthy ban regardless of whether his defence is believed. Taunts about a player's physical appearance, such as height, weight, and baldness, are not covered by the regulations. Benfica have stood firm in their defence of the player, releasing a statement expressing their 'regret' over UEFA's decision to hand Prestianni a provisional one-match suspension while the governing body conducts a full investigation. The Portuguese club also expressed their intention to appeal the decision in the hope that it is overturned in time for the second leg in Madrid on Wednesday. Club president Rui Costa also doubled down on Tuesday, calling the decision to ban Prestianni unjustified. 'Nothing is proven, and the player's absence from this game is not justified,' Costa said. 'Prestianni is being labeled a racist, but he's anything but racist. I can guarantee that.' UEFA are believed to have put the ban in place over concerns that a handshake would not take place between Prestianni and the Real Madrid players, in an echo of Luis Suarez's decision not to shake Patrice Evra's hand when Liverpool faced Manchester United in 2012

Tuesday, February 24 2026 - An under-14s football match in Wales descended into chaos after parents became involved in a physical altercation on the touchline. The incident occurred at Pandy Park in Bridgend during a junior fixture between Aberkenfig BGC and Trefelin BGC. The confrontation reportedly began after a player was sent off during the match, sparking tensions among spectators. Video footage, filmed by a mother watching the game, shows several adults throwing punches at one another while teenage players attempted to step in and separate them. The clip has since gone viral online, attracting significant attention and criticism. In a statement, Aberkenfig BGC said: “We are aware of a video circulating on social media showing an altercation at one of our junior football fixtures on Saturday 21st February involving members associated with the opposition and Aberkenfig BGC. “As a club, we are extremely disappointed by what has occurred. The behaviour shown does not reflect the standards, values, or expectations we hold as a community-focused football club.” The club added that the footage does not show the “full context” of the incident and confirmed that it is compiling a full report for the relevant governing bodies. “However, we fully acknowledge that, regardless of the circumstances, the scenes portrayed place the club in a negative light and are not acceptable. We would like to sincerely apologise to the match officials, our players, and the wider football community for any distress or reputational damage caused. “We will carry out a full internal investigation in conjunction with the relevant governing bodies. We are committed to addressing this matter appropriately and ensuring that lessons are learned to prevent any recurrence.” Trefelin BGC also condemned the behaviour. The club said: “Trefelin BGC certainly don’t condone this behaviour and is awaiting reports from the relevant match and league officials. We are also conducting an internal investigation.” The incident has renewed concerns about misconduct by spectators at youth sporting events, particularly when children are left to intervene in disputes between adults.

Tuesday, February 24 2026 - Former Premier League star, Ruben Loftus-Cheek was rushed to hospital on Sunday after suffering a nasty head injury while playing for AC Milan. The ex-Chelsea midfielder, 30, was placed in a neck brace and onto a stretcher having been left in a bloody mess following a challenge from opposing goalkeeper Edoardo. Loftus-Cheek had challenged for a ball with the Parma goalkeeper during his side's 1-0 defeat in Serie A, and he hit the deck as team-mates rushed to check on him. It has been reported by Sky Sport Italia that Loftus-Cheek suffered a jawline fracture and faces a number of months out injured. It is also said that one of his teeth was broken, and he will now enter a period of recovery. The incident happened not long after kick-off, with the midfielder withdrawn after 11 minutes of play. To make matters worse, his side lost the game, with Mariano Troilo scoring the decisive goal 10 minutes from time. The result leaves Milan 10 points adrift of rivals Inter at the top of Serie A. Loftus-Cheek's side are second in the standings, but face a tough task if they are to topple their Milan rivals in the race for the title.
