FIFA President Gianni Infantino was present at the Al Madina Stadium in Rabat, Morocco, to witness a Women's Africa Cup of Nations (WAFCON) 2026 Group C match between Malawi and Zambia on Wednesday. Despite losing 1-2, debutants Malawi qualified for the knockouts as group winners. Infantino's attendance followed intense administrative pressure. Earlier in the day, he held a marathon executive crisis meeting at the FIFA Africa office in Rabat to address an internal rebellion led by senior figures, including Arsene Wenger and Mattias Grafstrom. The row targeted a slammed commercial plan, FIFA Forward Enterprise, which sought to sell tournament rights to private investors. Subsequently, Infantino issued written apologies for failing to consult member associations on the project. While the board reaffirmed political support for his presidency, the public appearance at the match allowed him to show solidarity with African football leadership alongside Moroccan Federation chief Fouzi Lekjaa.

Cabo Verde goalkeeper Vozinha has been officially unveiled by Chilean giants Colo-Colo at the Monumental David Arellano Stadium. The 40-year-old, whose real name is Josimar Jose Evora Dias, secured a six-month contract with a one-year extension option. He arrived as a free agent following a stint with Portuguese second-division side Chaves. Vozinha became a global viral sensation at the FIFA World Cup 2026, where he kept a clean sheet against Spain and famously guided his nation to the knockout stages. He's likely to make his club debut on August 16 against O'Higgins. Interestingly, he received a unique policy exemption from the Chilean Football Federation to wear his beloved nickname "Vozinha" on his jersey instead of his legal surname. Colo-Colo aim to protect their 12-point lead at the top of the Chilean Primera Division table after 17 matches, and the addition of Vozinha's leadership provides a major boost.
