The Confederation of African Football (CAF) has expressed unanimous support for Gianni Infantino’s re-election as FIFA president in 2027. This endorsement follows a meeting prior to the FIFA Congress in Vancouver, reinforcing his position despite FIFA’s term limits, which do not apply to his initial partial term.

Major-General Azatbek Omurbekov was the target of a bomb explosion in Khabarovsk, which reportedly killed a lieutenant colonel. Omurbekov, known as the ‘Butcher of Bucha,’ narrowly survived the attack. Russian authorities have classified the incident as secret. Further details are forthcoming.
