Referee who was separated from the 2026 World Cup found dead

Club América made its home kit official for the 2026-27 season. The clothing is part of the celebrations towards the 110th anniversary of the institution.

Through their social networks, the azulcrema team launched the design with a message about their legacy. “The greatness continues, Adidas and Club América present the home jersey for 2026-2027 towards the 110th anniversary,” the statement said.

Design details

The uniform uses a creamy yellow tone as a base. A large pattern inspired by the club’s shield stands out on the chest. The Eagles emblem and the Adidas logo appear in the center.

The sleeves incorporate navy blue and red, a combination that evokes the most representative uniforms of the 80s and 90s. The three classic stripes in black and red are located on the shoulders. On the back of the neck the phrase “Big Heart” appears in tribute to the fans.

“On the way to our 110th anniversary, this shirt symbolizes what our institution represents: history, leadership and permanent search for excellence,” said Santiago Baños, sports president of the club.

Prices and availability

The version for fans costs 1,999 pesos. The player edition sells for 2,999 pesos. The long-sleeved ones cost 2,199 pesos (fan) and 3,199 pesos (professional). The shirt is now available at authorized retailers.

Debut at Apertura 2026

América will debut the kit on July 18 against Querétaro at the Corregidora Stadium, on the first day of the tournament. The design seeks to strengthen the link with the fans through a significant historical load.

The Mexican journalist Paola Rojas shared an uncomfortable episode that she experienced with Diego Armando Maradona during the 2014 World Cup in Brazil. In a conversation with the communicator José Ramón Fernández, she detailed how the late star conditioned an interview in exchange for a private meeting.

The moment in the elevator

Rojas said that he met Maradona and his security team in an elevator. He took the opportunity to reiterate his professional interest in interviewing him for Mexican media. According to his testimony, Maradona responded that he would agree to talk to her, but only if she came to his room. The proposal caused the journalist to immediately desist.

The communicator emphasized that, although she recognizes the historical significance of Maradona in football, she decided to make this event public to make visible the obstacles and situations of vulnerability that women face in sports journalism.

The story generated a wave of reactions on social networks, adding to the list of off-field controversies that marked the life of the former soccer player. Rojas seeks with her experience to open the debate about working conditions and the respect that professionals deserve in the sports field.

High voltage semi-final in Dallas

France and Spain face each other this Tuesday at the AT&T Stadium in Dallas, in the first semifinal of the World Cup. Both arrive undefeated: the French have scored 14 goals and conceded only two; the Spanish, 10 in favor and one against.

Kylian Mbappé has eight goals in the tournament, equaling Leo Messi at the top of the scoring table. With 20 goals in 20 World Cup games, he is one away from the Argentine’s all-time record. The 27-year-old striker claimed to be recovered after being substituted against Morocco in the quarterfinals.

For Spain, Lamine Yamal — who turned 19 on Monday — already knows what it’s like to eliminate France in the semifinals: he scored in Euro 2024 and also won in the Nations League. “We are not afraid of France. If anyone should be afraid, it is us,” declared the young man. His Barcelona teammate, Jules Koundé, did not feel addressed: “It’s a sign of confidence. He always does the same thing at Barça.”

Mikel Merino has been key for La Roja coming off the bench: he scored the winning goal against Portugal in the round of 16 (88′) and the decisive goal against Belgium in the quarterfinals (88′). Goalkeeper Unai Simón set a record of 650 minutes without conceding a goal, until Belgium scored in the 41st minute.

This is the only World Cup precedent between the two: France won 3-1 in the round of 16 in 2006, with goals from Ribéry, Vieira and Zidane. Since then, Spain won its only title in 2010 and France lifted its second cup in 2018. The French seek to join Brazil and Germany as the only ones with three consecutive finals.

The other semifinal pits defending champion Argentina against England on Wednesday in Atlanta. Messi, with three goals in the group stage, broke the historical record for goals in the World Cup. Cristiano Ronaldo, 41, was eliminated in the round of 16 against Spain.

The title game will be Sunday at MetLife Stadium, New Jersey. The date in Dallas promises emotions.
