It looks like developers are determined to claim a bigger space in the sports genre next season. Alongside EA Sports Fc 25, we might see new developments from 2K, which has acquired the rights to produce a FIFA football game. Additionally, there will be a new free-to-play title: Ufl.
Promising to compete with the major titles in the market, the game developed by StrikerZ Inc. aims to achieve realistic and diverse gameplay. At the same time, it attempts to avoid one of the industry’s significant problems: aggressive microtransactions, which are increasingly prevalent in sports games. These promises have caught the attention of several famous players, who now support the game’s development.

When we talk about renowned manga series in the otaku community many popular names come to our mind. The choices are vast as fans would say names of popular titles like Jujutsu Kaisen, One Piece, Naruto, Bleach, Demon Slayer, and many more. However, Akutami-san’s and Oda-Sensei’s work remains on top of the charts, both mangas have broken numerous records in 2023.

Jjk claimed the title of #1 anime as it was immensely popular among its viewers, while Op kept its viewers hooked on the series as the manga progressed into one of its final arcs.

British actor Sheyi Cole has a prominent role in Thea Sharrock’s Netflix original film “The Beautiful Game.”
The film revolves around the Homeless World Cup, an annual soccer tournament bringing together displaced or dispossessed players from nearly 50 countries, playing not merely for a trophy but for a second shot at life. Cole plays Jason, a would-be ladies’ man given a sharp #MeToo education when he inappropriately comes onto sparky Mexican-American player Rosita (Cristina Rodio).
“One thing that was great about Thea is that she was so hands on – any concerns that we had, she was willing to have conversations and was able to alleviate any concerns that we essentially had, surrounding that conversation with Jason,” Cole told Variety. “I think what she really wanted to highlight was Jason’s naivety and innocence. And the lack of role models that he had in his life. So although Jason does make grave mistakes,...

Rupert Murdoch’s TalkTV is going online-only two years after launching with fanfare and following the suit of its star presenter Piers Morgan.
“Two years ago, we would not have been brave enough to launch a channel without a linear presence, but audiences of all ages have moved fast and smartphones are now the primary device where news is consumed,” said a note to staff from TalkTV-owner News UK’s Broadcasting President Scott Taunton, reported by Guido Fawkes. “We need to adapt to this as a priority. We are therefore intending that Talk comes off linear television from early summer and our focus will be on streaming.”
Linear TV has been “a good marketing and awareness window” for TalkTV but investment needs to be focused “where the eyeballs are,” added Taunton.

Bringing to the screen the tragic true story of one of Latin America’s most famous disasters was no easy feat. Nevertheless, the Uruguayan rising star Enzo Vogrincic took on the pressures of grueling pain, fleeting signs of hope and thoughts of imminent death to honor the deceased and the survivors of that accident. In J.A. Bayona’s film Society of the Snow, Vogrincic stars as Numa Turcatti, a passenger on board an ill-fated flight in 1972. When the plane collides with a mountain in the Andes, the survivors find themselves stranded on a glacier for more than two months. Numa serves as both the story’s protagonist and narrator.

Oscar-winner Asif Kapadia is helming a Prime Video doc about the latter days of tennis legend Roger Federer’s career, which was originally intended as a home movie.
The feature-length doc will chronicle the final 12 days of the career of the man who is deemed by many to be the greatest tennis player of all time.
Amazon said the untitled doc was “originally a home video never intended for public viewing,” which “captures Federer at his most vulnerable and candid self, as he says goodbye to a game and the fans that shaped his life for the last two decades.”
Federer said: “Initially, the idea was to capture the final moments of my professional tennis career so that I could have it later on to show my family and friends”
He added: “During my career, I tended to shy away from having cameras around me and my family, especially during important moments.

The trend of disappointing fan turnouts at Saudi Pro League games shows no sign of improvement.
Despite its renowned players,including Cristiano Ronaldo, Karim Benzema and Roberto Firmino, the league has struggled to attract significant fan support in the Middle Eastern country.
The latest example is Al-Riyadh, whose home match against Damac on December 28, saw a paltry attendance of just 299 spectators.
The Prince Turki bin Abdul Aziz Stadium was eerily quiet as the home team secured a 1-0 victory, courtesy of a goal from former Premier League star Andre Gray, who has scored four goals in 11 games since he joined the club in September.
The lack of fan presence at Al-Riyadh matches has been a recurrent theme throughout the season. Earlier this month, a mere 144 fans showed up to watch them play against Al-Khaleej, a game that resulted in a 1-0 loss.

Carlos Alcaraz is in Riyadh for the showdown against Novak Djokovic, and he spoke about his knowledge of the Saudi Arabian capital.
Tennis has been in the Middle East for many years but doesn't have that long of a tradition in Saudi Arabia. The country has been interested in changing that for a while and is slowly executing a plan to do so.
Almost unlimited funds allow them to stage pretty much anything they want, and the Next Gen Finals in Jeddah recently proved quite successful.
Exhibitions last year and the huge showdown between Djokovic and Alcaraz this year is a continuation of that plan. Expect more to come in the upcoming years with an official event to follow. For now, though, we have Djokovic and Alcaraz, which should be an interesting match in a more loose format.

Exclusive: Fresh from reflecting on his Real Madrid career in his Netflix series, David Beckham is now preparing an ESPN documentary about the Galácticos.
Beckham’s Studio 99 has teamed up with Fulwell 73 to develop the project, which has not yet officially been greenlit by ESPN but is gearing up for production.
Spotlighting one of sport’s most iconic teams, the documentary has echoes of ESPN series The Last Dance, which won acclaim for its depiction of Michael Jordan’s final season with the Chicago Bulls.
The so-called Galácticos were assembled by Real Madrid president Florentino Pérez, who had a mission to sign superstar footballers from the best leagues in the world.
Real Madrid broke the world transfer record five times by signing the likes of Luis Figo, Zinedine Zidane, Cristiano Ronaldo, and Gareth Bale across two Galácticos eras.

Despite The Saudi Professional League’s significant investment in high-profile players over the summer, the team has reportedly reached a new low point.
Earlier this year, Cristiano Ronaldo made headlines as the first prominent European player to join the league when he signed with Al Nassr after he left Manchester United. Since then, several other notable footballers, such as Karim Benzema, Neymar, Riyad Mahrez, Fabinho, Roberto Firmino, Jordan Henderson and Demarai Gray, have also opted to move to Saudi Arabia and leave the European football behind.
However, despite the influx of star players, the Saudi Pro League was left humiliated after the last match.
A recent game between Al Riyadh and Al Hazm witnessed an embarrassingly low attendance of just 264 spectators. The match took place at the Prince Faisal bin Fahd Stadium, which has a maximum capacity of 22,188.

A U.S. appeals court ruled in favor of Cristiano Ronaldo, rejecting an appeal by the lawyer for Kathryn Mayorga to reopen a case alleging the soccer player of raping her in 2009.
The case was dismissed in Las Vegas in June 2022 after Mayorga filed in 2018. Her lawyer argued that U.S. District Judge Jennifer Dorsey should not have rejected Mayorga’s attempt to publicly unseal the confidentiality agreement she signed in 2010 to accept payments from Ronaldo.
An appellate court in San Francisco disagreed with Mayorga. It rejected another argument that Dorsey abused her discretion by dismissing the case with prejudice and refusing to let Mayorga refile. The three judges also levied a $335,000 fine against her lawyer, Leslie Mark Stovall.
“The district court clearly recognized the gravity of dismissing the case and accordingly provided a thorough analysis, amply supported by factual findings,” wrote Judge Johnnie Rawlinson in a six-page opinion.

Cristiano Ronaldo has the most followers on Instagram. Elon Musk claims that title on his platform X (naturally). And Letterboxd has Martin Scorsese.
When he joined in October, shortly after his film “Killers of the Flower Moon” hit theaters, the director quickly became the most-followed account on the burgeoning social media platform, which allows users to rate and review movies, create lists and follow their friends. The director — or whichever canny member of his team is behind the account — doesn’t use the platform as a viewing diary though. Scorsese’s inaugural post was a list of 59 titles cited as companion texts to his own work. In the weeks since, he’s shared a second list of his favorite wide-screen movies.
Scorsese will draw a crowd, but it’s still a bit of an anomaly for an octogenarian to become the most popular account on a social media platform — especially...

On Monday, Columbian pop star Shakira settled with Spanish prosecutors to avoid trial in Barcelona and a possible prison sentence.
In 2012 and 2014, Shakira was charged in Barcelona for her failure to pay 14.5 million euros ($15.7 million) in Spanish income tax. Part of the deal saw her accept the charge and a fine of 50% of the amount she owed – over 7.3 million euros.
In the initial hearing of the trial, she also accepted an additional fine of 438,000 euros to avoid a three-year prison sentence.
Judge Jose Manuel del Amo Sanchez asked Shakira if she acknowledged the facts and agreed with the new penalties, to which she responded affirmatively.
Shakira arrived at the court just before 10 a.m., accompanied by her legal team, dressed in a pink suit with a pink handbag and sunglasses.
Previously, the singer had vowed to contest what she deemed as false accusations. Additionally, she faces another tax fraud investigation with Spanish authorities.

Pop star Shakira agreed to a deal with Spanish authorities on the first day of a tax fraud trial in Barcelona on Monday, avoiding the risk of a prison sentence.
Shakira told the presiding magistrate, José Manuel del Amo, that she accepted the agreement reached with prosecutors. She answered “yes” to confirm her acknowledgment of six counts of failing to pay the Spanish government 14.5 million euros (about $15.8 million) in taxes between 2012 and 2014.
Under the deal, Shakira is to receive a suspended three-year sentence and a fine of 7 million euros ($7.6 million).
The trial, which would have included more than 100 witnesses over the following weeks, was instead called off after just eight minutes.
Prosecutors said in July that they would seek a prison sentence of eight years and two months and a fine of 24 million euros ($26 million) for the singer, who has won over fans worldwide for her hits in Spanish and English in different musical genres.

Saudi Arabia is following in Middle East neighbor Qatar’s footsteps and will host the 2034 soccer World Cup.
In the past few hours, Football Australia has pulled out of the running, leaving Saudi Arabia the only nation bidding to host the global tournament in a decade’s time.
World football body Fifa had said the 2034 World Cup would be held in Asia or Oceania, and an Australian bid was regarded as the only potential challenger to Saudi Arabia.
The move means that the World Cup will be hosted in a middle eastern nation twice in the space of 12 years, following last year’s Qatar World Cup.
Prince Abdulaziz bin Turki bin Faisal, Saudi Arabia’s Sports Minister, said the World Cup bid “constitutes an important and natural step in our journey as a country passionate about football”.

Iran has denied viral reports that soccer icon Cristiano Ronaldo was sentenced to 99 lashes for hugging a married woman while visiting the country.
Renaldo hugged and kissed Fatima Hamimi, an Iranian artist, and thanked her for giving him two paintings on September 18.
The video showing Ronaldo’s moment with the painter was posted on the Instagram page of his Saudi Arabian team, Al-Nassr.
Al-Nassr was in Tehran to play against Persepolis during the AFC Champions League group stage match, which Al-Nassr won 2-1.
Hamimi, who is about 85% paralyzed, paints portraits with her feet. She was one of many fans who showed their love for the soccer phenomenon.
Al-Nassr does not play in Iran for the rest of the tournament’s group stage but might face an Iranian-based team in the knockout stages.
Physical contact with a married woman in Iran is seen as adultery and can lead to severe penalties.

Carlos Alcaraz drew a lot of interest this year with his amazing performances, so much so that he actually eclipsed Novak Djokovic in the most searched athletes list.
Carlos Alcaraz has been a known name for over a year now because he won the US Open last year, which certainly helped. This year, however, he expanded his Grand Slam tally by beating Djokovic at Wimbledon , which in itself is a huge deal.
Think of the importance Wimbledon carries in the tennis world, and you'll quickly realize why Alcaraz might have been the most searched tennis player all year. He's also a new player who carries a lot of new excitement as opposed to Djokovic, who has been here for years.
The most searched athlete in the world was obviously Cristiano Ronaldo, who is far above anybody else. Neymar came in second, with Lionel Messi coming in third, and that's not a huge surprise.

During an impassioned segment on MSNBC, Donny Deutsch slammed Hollywood and corporate America for their silence amid Hamas’ deadly attacks on Israel.
“I don’t understand the silence from Hollywood. I don’t understand the silence from corporate America. I don’t understand the silence from the academics. And I don’t understand the silence from so many politicians,” Deutsch said, speaking with anchor Nicolle Wallace.
Deutsch, who is Jewish, was previously a host on MSNBC and CNBC. The television personality and political analyst now hosts the podcast “On Brand With Donny Deutsch.”
“There is not context here. This is about the slaughtering of Jews,” Deutsch said. “It’s a level of heinousness we can’t even understand… beheading a baby, taking a nine-month old hostage, raping and dragging a dead woman through the town, killing elderly people. It goes back to my question again: Why the silence in this country from our institutions?...

Updated, 8:15 Am: Img has locked a series of international broadcast deals for the Saudi Pro League’s (Spl) 2023/24 season.
The confirmed deals span over 130 territories, including what has been described as a “landmark deal” with Dazn in multiple territories as well as Sport TV (Portugal), La 7 (Italy), Marca.com (Spain), and Canal+ (France). Starting from this season, Img will also produce the live world feed, including graphics and English commentary.
The full list of broadcast deals set for the 2023/24 Saudi Pro League are: A1 Bulgaria / Max Sport (Bulgaria), Canal+ (France & French overseas territories), Cosmote (Greece), Dazn, La 7 (Italy), Marca.com (Spain), Prima Sports (Romania), Setanta, Sport TV (Portugal), and Supersport (Albania & Kosovo).
Outside of Europe, rights were picked up by Sony/culver (Indian Sub-continent), Azteca (Central America & Mexico), Spo TV, Sporty TV (Nigeria & Ghana), Azam (East Africa), Band Group (Brazil), Bilibili (China), Goat (Brazil), Kball (China), Migu (China), Network Ten (Australia), StartTimes (Sub-Saharan Africa incl. South Africa), Tencent (China), Zap (Angola & Mozambique), and Zhibo8 (China).
“These agreements come at a time of genuine growth for Saudi Arabian football, with growing interest in the Roshn Saudi league from football fans all around the world,” said Saad Allazeez, Saudi Pro League interim CEO. “The watching world can now enjoy front-row seats as Saudi football transforms, and thanks to the Saudi Pro League strategy, football fans around the world will be able to watch promising young talent from the Kingdom competing and playing with some of the biggest names in world football.”
Previously, 4:23 Am: French pay-tv giant Canal+ has acquired French and African rights for the Saudi Pro League for the coming two seasons.
The announcement for the deal late Tuesday came just days ahead of the kick-off for the 2023-24 season on Friday (August 11), which will feature 18 clubs and run until May 2024.
Canal+ will air two matches a week while highlights will also be featured in its wider sports programs such as Canal Football Club.
The accord comes amid growing buzz around the Saudi soccer league following a flurry of high-profile international signings topped by Portuguese star Cristiano Ronaldo’s move to Riyadh-based Al Nassr at the end of 2022.
Img, which was brought into sell international rights for the remainder of the 2022-23 season following Ronaldo’s arrival, is also handling deals for the 2023-24 and 2024-25 season.
The new French deal marks a step up from an agreement struck with Altice France’s Rmc Sport channel midway through the 2022-23 season for select matches featuring Ronaldo.
The Saudi Pro League’s upcoming season is likely to spark particularly strong interest in France thanks to the raft of French players in its ranks.
Former Real Madrid striker Karim Benzema and Chelsea midfielder N’Golo Kanté are with current champions Jeddah-based Al-Ittihad.
French-Ivorian player Seko Fofana, who has played for both national teams, and Senegal’s Sadio Mané play alongside Ronaldo at Al Nassr.
Other players in the league with a strong French following include Senegal’s Kalidou Koulibaly, Serbia’s Sergej Milinković-Savić and Portugal’s Ruben Neves, who all play for Riyadh-based Al Hilal.
The latter club is reported to have courted Psg’s Kylian Mbappé earlier this summer, but without success for now, while there were reports this week that teammate Neymar could be mulling a move to the club.
“We are very happy to be able to offer this brand new football championship exclusively for Canal+ subscribers,” commented Canal+ Director Of Sports Thomas Sénécal.
The Canal+ soccer offering also includes the UEFA Champions League, the UK’s Premier League, the D1 Arkema French women’s football league and France’s Ligue 1.
