Transfers and club news get short explainers: who gains, who loses, and what it means for the season. When a coach explains an absence or a club faces an off-field issue, we summarize the facts and what likely comes next.

We also flag major off-field stories that affect the game in Africa and beyond, such as high-profile investigations or leadership changes in football federations. These items matter because they can reshape competitions and funding.

Follow match threads for real-time updates, or read the quick recap after a game if you just want the key moments. Bookmark this page for daily updates across leagues — from local promotion races to Champions League nights and MLS showdowns.
