France defeats Paraguay and advances to the quarterfinals of the 2026 World Cup

Liga MX and Voit have launched the Aereus 40 Pro III, the ball that will be used in the 2026-27 Mexican soccer season. The event was headed by Francisco Iturbide, general director of Operations of Liga MX, and José Carlos Elizondo, general director of Voit, within the framework of an alliance that has been celebrating four decades.

News about the ball and uniforms

In addition to the ball, the uniforms that will be used by referees for the next football year were presented. Voit will also be the sponsor of the ball for the Liga MX Femenil and will provide clothing to the Liga MX all-star team that will face the United States in the All-Star Game.

“Forty years of history, four decades of playing together on the fields, of shouting goals, promoting matches and witnessing the path taken in the growth of the Liga MX. We know that the great protagonist of our sport is the goal and, during the 25-26 season, an average of 2.9 goals per game was recorded, with 458 scores in the Clausura 2026,” declared Iturbide.

This agreement reinforces Voit’s commitment to the development of football in Mexico. Both the ball and the referee uniforms will be of high quality for next season.

Victory that brings the title closer

Spain defeated Belgium 2-1 in a high-tension match. The result grants them a place in the World Cup semi-finals, where they will face France.

The team showed a solid performance during the 90 minutes. The Belgian defense tried to contain the Spanish attack, but the Iberian team found the spaces to score two goals.

The match was held in an atmosphere of maximum demand. Both teams arrived with firm aspirations, but Spain knew how to impose its style of play.

With this victory, the Spanish team is positioned among the candidates for the championship. The fans already have high expectations for the team ahead of the duel against France.

The next phase will be a major challenge. France arrives with a quality squad, but Spain trusts in its system to continue advancing in the tournament.

End of cycle on the national bench

Javier Aguirre concluded his third stage at the head of the Mexican National Team. After reaching the round of 16 in the World Cup, the “Vasco” confirmed his departure at a press conference and handed the project to Rafael Márquez, who will lead the way to the 2030 World Cup.

Aguirre announced that he plans a break and seriously evaluates retirement, closing more than three decades as technical director. However, that decision is not sealed. The possibility of continuing depends on the interest of other national teams that have already begun approaches.

Possible destinations on the horizon

According to Fox Sports, the South Korean Football Federation has Aguirre on its radar. The Asian team, eliminated in the group stage after losing to Mexico, is looking for a coach for its new cycle. In the next few days there could be a formal contact. In addition, Saudi Arabia would also have shown interest in the services of the Mexican strategist.

Aguirre will analyze his future with his family. The accumulated experience and international respect make him an attractive candidate for projects abroad. For now, his legacy with the Tricolor is marked by the passage to the second round and the orderly transition to Rafael Márquez.
