If you had asked 100 German football fans in 2018 if they knew SV Elversberg, the majority would have had no clue about the small club from the Saarland, a region close to the French border in Germany.
In October 2018, the club made two huge decisions that would shape its future.

The Xabi Alonso era at Real Madrid did not get off to the best of starts, but there were some promising signs in their opening match of the 2025 FIFA Club World Cup against Al-Hilal.
Of course, we have to sit back and remember this is a Club World Cup, and the players, for lack of a better term, looked exhausted playing in the extreme humidity of Miami in June.

AC Milan are said to be in advanced talks with Granit Xhaka of Bayer Leverkusen.
The 32-year-old midfielder looks likely to play in Serie A for the first time, knowing that AS Roma showed interest in 2021, but Arsenal rejected the offer.
Xhaka is an experienced midfielder who has already had a very rich and adventurous football career.
He started his senior career at FC Basel from 2010 to 2012 and then moved to Bundesliga side Boru...
After finishing his playing career a year and a half ago, former Deportivo La Coruña, Atlético Madrid, and Chelsea defender Filipe Luís began a new journey in coaching with the youth teams of Flamengo, his final club.
Luís quickly made an impression on the sidelines with Mengão.
The 39-year-old went on to replace former Brazil boss Tite last September, less than a year after he retired with Flamengo.
After playing 11 games of their...
Tottenham Hotspur have announced the appointment of Thomas Frank as their new Head Coach, with a contract running until 2028.
Keith Andrews, who worked with Thomas Frank as Brentford‘s set-piece coach, is a leading candidate to replace Thomas Frank as head coach.

Thiago Almada floats across the pitch like any playmaker raised in the Rioplatense school.
He manages tight spaces, has lightning‑quick changes of pace, uses pauses as synonymous with rhythm, and delivers sharp passes (with a broad range of them).
However, despite floating and possessing the traits of a classic Argentine No. 10, his movements and runs are outside (or actually a fusion of all) those of No. 10s like Juan Román Riquel...
After a mixed season, Tottenham Hotspur fired head coach Ange Postecoglou.
A 17th-place finish was far too unsatisfactory for the eventual UEFA Europa League winners.
After his admirable stint at Brentford, Thomas Frank takes over as the new Spurs head coach.
While it is a surprising turn of events, it is an intriguing avenue for the North London side.

After a season full of drama for AS Roma and their supporters, Giallorossi finished the season in fifth place in Serie A; an achievement whose merit goes to Claudio Ranieri, who led the team during a complicated period, saving them from playing to avoid relegation to playing for European spots.

The 2025 FIFA Club World Cup is set to mark a bold new era for global football.

Florentino Luís is a 25-year-old defensive midfielder, currently playing for SL Benfica.
He has been one of the most consistent performers in Liga Portugal over the last three seasons.
Born in Angola, he moved to the Lisbon region of Portugal with his family at a very young age, where his football journey began.
His first steps in organised sport came through futsal, competing...
The FIFA Club World Cup 2025 marks a historic shift in the tournament’s structure, transforming it from a brief annual competition into a fully-fledged international tournament, modelled on the format of the traditional FIFA World Cup.
This expanded edition, set to be hosted for the first time in the United States, will feature 32 clubs from across the globe, including a select group of European powerhouses.
Portugal lifted their fourth-ever trophy after beating Spain on penalties following an extra-time period that finished 2-2 in the 2024/2025 UEFA Nations League Final, at the Allianz Arena in Munich, Germany.
Portugal resisted Spain’s attacking threats, limiting their strengths and countering their attempts intelligently to bring the game to penalties.
Both teams were capable of adding a third goal, but at the same time, they were c...
Jack Grealish’s fourth season at Manchester City has shown a conspicuous decline in playing time, raising questions about his place within Pep Guardiola’s squad.
Each passing year seems to further erode his role, culminating not only in his omission from the starting XI but, at times, from the matchday squad altogether.
Guardiola’s emphatic response: “Who said I’m not happy with him?!”— following Grealish’s absence in Manchester Ci...
