Kevin Csoboth scored a thrilling goal in the 100th minute of Hungary's 1-0 victory over Scotland in a pivotal Group A encounter of UEFA Euro 2024. This stands as the latest goal in regulation time in Euro history. Germany, Switzerland, Hungary, and Scotland are in Group A. Switzerland would probably follow Germany into the Round of 16, so Scotland's match against Hungary was crucial to clinching third place. Scotland would not have advanced as one of the top third-ranked teams, even with a draw giving them third place and insufficient points. Hungary required a victory to remain competitiv

According to Deloitte’s Annual Review of Football Finance, the Women’s Super League (WSL) clubs achieved a record-breaking £48 million ($61 million) in the 2022–23 season. It represents a 50% increase in revenue from the prior year, more than doubling the £20 million recorded in the 2020–21 season and coming after England's victory at Euro 2022. Due in part to England's World Cup runner-up finish in 2023, the combined attendance for the WSL and Championship in the 2023–24 season exceeded one million.

27-year-old Donia Abu Talib, a taekwondo competitor from Saudi Arabia, became the first Saudi woman to ever qualify for the Olympics. Her goal is to bring home the first gold medal from Saudi Arabia at the Olympics in Paris. Due to the lack of possibilities for female athletes in her hometown of Jeddah, she honed her skills at a male club. This experience, she says, made her strong and resilient. Since Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman took office, Saudi Arabia has made strides in empowering women, particularly in the realm of sports. After getting official backing and competing to great su

Last month, Sciver-Brunt scored an outstanding 124 not out against Pakistan, reclaiming her position as top scorer. Meanwhile, Pooja Vastrakar
At Tuesday's Paavo Nurmi Games in Turku, Finland, Neeraj Chopra won the gold medal with a throw of 85.97 metres. He dominated over Finland's Oliver Helander (83.96 metres) and Toni Keranen (84.19 metres).
