Barcelona cancels game in Japan after issue with promoter

BARCELONA, Spain (AP) — Barcelona said Wednesday it will not play its scheduled preseason game in Japan because of 'serious contractual breaches on behalf of the promoter.' Barcelona will not travel on Thursday as planned for a match against Vissel Kobe. The club did not name the promoter or give more detail about the breaches. Barcelona said it will 'consider readjusting' the leg of the summer tour in South Korea, where two games are scheduled against FC Seoul on July 31 and Daegu FC on Aug. 4, 'if certain conditions are met by the promoter.' Barcelona said that if 'these conditions are met, then the club will travel to South Korea in the coming days.' "Barcelona regrets this incident and the impact it will have on the many, many Barça fans in Japan,' the club said. Barcelona earlier Wednesday announced the signing of England forward Marcus Rashford. ___ AP soccer:

US carriers shamed in surprising new list of the world's ‘cleanest' airlines

Whether you're a frequent flyer or tentative traveler, no one wants to be on a dirty plane. From tissues left in the seat-back pocket, gross complimentary blankets, crumbs on the tray table and germ-ridden windows, there's plenty to be wary of when boarding a plane. But a handful of airlines really prioritize the cleanliness of the cabins. 3 Taiwan-based Eva Air was named the cleanest airline in the world for 2025. Heorshe – Skytrax, an international air transport rating organization, released its list of the World's Cleanest Airlines for 2025, based on passenger surveys examining the standard and quality of cleanliness of aircraft cabins. Passengers were asked to score seat areas, tables, carpets, cabin panels and lavatories in the survey, which was conducted from September 2024 to May 2025 on a voluntary basis. The top three cleanest airlines were all based in Asia, with Taiwan-based Eva Air rewarded as the cleanest airline in the world, moving up from its No. 3 spot in last year's rankings. In second place was Japanese-based All Nippon Airways (ANA), followed by Hong Kong carrier Cathay Pacific in third. 'We believe a pristine cabin environment is fundamental to our passengers' comfort and peace of mind,' a spokesperson for ANA told Condé Nast Traveler. 'We are dedicated to continuously enhancing our cleaning protocols to ensure every ANA journey is a pleasant and fresh experience.' Rounding out the top five were Qatar Airways and Singapore Airlines in fourth and fifth place, respectively. Aside from the top three, 10 more Asia-based carriers made it into the top 20 — marking 13 total carriers in Asia. 3 Japanese-based All Nippon Airways (ANA) was named the second cleanest in the world. YOSHIKAZU TSUNO/AFP/Getty Images Notably, not a single U.S. airline made it onto the global list of the world's cleanest airlines. However, Skytrax also listed the cleanest airline by region, and Delta Air Lines was named Cleanest Airline in North America 2025. According to Reader's Digest, Delta works hard to maintain a clean cabin with specialized cleaning teams that perform a thorough cleaning process between every single flight. The airplanes also reportedly get deep cleanings overnight that include vacuuming, shampooing the carpets and detailing the seats and tray tables. 3 Hainan Airlines just missed the top five, coming in at No. 6.
