Harambee Stars coach Benni McCarthy has dropped majority of his foreign legion in his final squad for the upcoming 2027 Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON) qualifiers against Eritrea and Guinea.Download our Mozzart Sport app for more newsIn a now-trimmed 24-man squad, the South African tactician has slashed 11 foreign-based players from his provisional side, while adding a new name in Exeter defender Vincent Harper.Among some high-profile names axed from the team include: vice-captain Joseph Okumu, goalkeeper Ian Otieno, Wrexham defender Zak Vyner, Celta Vigo’s Aldrine Kibet, and one of the surprise names in McCarthy’s provisional squad, Louis Millard.##NAJAVA_MECA_9962311##In a blow to the national team, McCarthy will also have to do without the services of Daniel Anyembe, Zech Obiero and Deon Woodman, who have all had their seasons abroad curtailed by injury.Other foreign-based players missing from the final squad are: goalkeeper Caleb Kramer, who has been included in Kenya’s provisional s..

It’s September, but Manchester United are acting as it’s July. The Red Devils were not so active during the recently finished transfer window, but since the start of September, they have been looking at new players. We wrote about Manchester’s interest in Felix Nmecha from Borussia Dortmund and the British press is already adding another name – Jarrad Branthwaite. As much as Nmecha’s name was a surprise, mainly due to the fact that United already signed three new midfielders in July, the Everton defender totally makes sense.##LINKED_NEWS_69028##United started their squad rebuild last year, when they added three forwards to their ranks: Bryan Mbeumo, Benjamin Sesko and Matheus Cunha. This season, the midfield was revamped with Carlos Baleba, Andrey Santos and Youri Tielemans. And while the recruitment success is yet to be judged, defence is next for a reshuffle, and additions are needed badly. So, Manchester turned to their old target and a talented defender. Branthwaite was the subject..

Thirteen Kenyan rugby players are staring at a painful case of what might have been after visa delays denied them the opportunity to compete in the inaugural Ultimate 7s Championship and potentially earn millions of shillings.The players, who were selected across all six franchises taking part in the new global sevens competition, had already signed contracts before their planned departure for Europe.Download our Mozzart Sport App for more newsThe financial terms offered a significant incentive, with players divided into three payment tiers.Tier one players were set to earn €15,000, approximately Ksh2.25 million, while tier two players were guaranteed €14,000, worth about Ksh2.10 million.

For the past two years, Marc-Andre ter Stegen’s career has been on the decline. He has long since lost his place as Hansi Flick’s first-choice goalkeeper at Barcelona, while Joan Garcia’s arrival just cemented his status as a bench warmer.Last January – after recovering from a serious back injury – he was supposed to revive his career on loan at Girona, but another hamstring injury kept him sidelined for nearly six more months. Consequently, he made just three appearances in the previous campaign.##EDITORS_CHOICE##Last month, Barcelona loaned him to Ajax, where he’s facing the same task – getting his career back on track.After playing six consecutive games for the Dutch side, he was benched yesterday in a 5-1 league win over Willem II, but his comeback still seems to be gathering pace.However, alongside his club renaissance, Ter Stegen could also enjoy a remarkable resurgence with the Germany national team.The 34-year-old has made 44 appearances for Die Mannschaft since 2012, but has s..

And it’s understandable, but this seemingly unbelievable story is actually about to become reality, believe it or not.Meet Olly and Seb Fisher, Scottish teenagers playing for Partick Thistle, who are set to make their Uganda U20 and U17 debuts!Brothers Ollie and Seb Fisher have received call-ups to represent Uganda’s U20 and U17 national youth teams respectively.The duo, who are part of the Partick Thistle Academy setup in Scotland, are reported to have Ugandan roots.[📸: Partick Thistle Academy] pic.twitter.com/InDLNGG6qw— SIKAOFFICIAL🦍 (@SIKAOFFICIAL1) September 11, 2026 How on Earth are the two lads born in Scotland eligible to represe..
