As every week, OneFootball introduces you to the new gems of world football. Today, we're presenting the future of Portugal, who is already making a name for himself in the Portuguese Liga.
A young prodigy from FC Porto, Rodrigo Mora is already attracting the top clubs in Europe.
An attacking midfielder with a small stature, the Portuguese player has already scored three goals and delivered three key passes.
Rodrigo Mora loves to break through lines, projects himself forward, and can be dangerous with his first touch of the ball.
Beyond his individual qualities, the midfielder also serves the team as he should and doesn't hesitate to participate in defensive work.
At only 17 years old, the Portuguese player still has a good margin for improvement, allowing him to iron out a few flaws.
Moreover, last February 13th, Rodrigo Mora had the opportunity to make his debut in the Europa League, against AS Roma. A season that is making him explode onto the European scene and soon the world.
Remember this name, you'll hear it often!

Lloris surprised Spurs sacked Postecoglou after ‘amazing achievement'
Hugo Lloris has expressed surprise at Tottenham Hotspur sacking Ange Postecoglou after their triumph in the Europa League. The former Spurs captain praised Postecoglou for an 'amazing achievement' and said he was delighted to see his old team end their 17-year wait for a trophy when they beat Manchester United in Bilbao last month. But the Los Angeles FC goalkeeper, speaking before facing Chelsea in the Club World Cup on Monday, was not expecting victory in the final against United to be followed by a managerial change.

I think he deserves a lot of credit for what he achieved as a coach and I think we all have to be thankful and grateful for what he brought, especially with this trophy.' Lloris spent 12 years at Spurs before joining LAFC in December 2023. He had several near misses in north London and knows better than most how much silverware means to Spurs. 'I think they had a really hard season,' Lloris said. 'They had a lot of injuries as well that affected the team and performances. In the second part of the season it looks like they decided to go all-in for the Europa League. They made it and you just have to congratulate them because it is another way to go to the Champions League. Advertisement 'If you finish 10th, 14th, 15th, 16th and if you get a chance to win a trophy on the other hand, it is just an amazing achievement. I was part of a really competitive team for many years and the target was to reach the top four but at which price? We could not find a way to win a cup, a League Cup or even a Europa League cup but we managed to go and get the top four for many years. I don't know, it is all about the optics of the club.' Lloris hopes that winning the Europa League will have a liberating effect on Spurs. 'I am really happy for the club. We ran many years after this trophy and finally they got it and I think they deserve it. Hopefully it will make their shoulders a little bit lighter for the future and I think it is also the moment to build on this success for Spurs. Even if I am not a Spurs player, I still follow the news, the team and the results.'

Lions rugby squad nearly at full strength ahead of tour opener against Argentina
Associated Press The British & Irish Lions reported a clean bill of health after returning from their training camp in Portugal, with 15 players who featured in domestic finals at the weekend joining up with the squad Monday ahead of the tour opener against Argentina. It meant only one selected player — Scotland fullback Blair Kinghorn — was yet to link up with the Lions squad. Kinghorn remains on club duty with Toulouse, which is competing in the Top 14 semifinals in the France league on Friday, and could be away for a further week if his team reaches the final. Otherwise, Lions coach Andy Farrell appears to be in a strong position at the end of the club season in Britain and Ireland, with his contingent of players from English teams Bath and Leicester — who met in the Premiership final on Saturday — and Irish province Leinster — who won the URC final on Saturday — seemingly in healthy enough shape. Three Leinster players — scrumhalf Jamison Gibson-Park, prop Tadhg Furlong and fullback Hugo Keenan — didn't play in the 32-7 win over the Bulls but were still in line to join up with the Lions. The returning 15 will take part in their first training session with the Lions on Tuesday, the team said. If any of those players do feature against Argentina in Dublin on Friday, their involvement will likely be limited. Because of the reduced number of players at the six-day training camp in Quinta do Lago, Farrell called up England front-rowers Jamie George and Asher Opoku-Fordjour to help with practice sessions. They will train for the last time Monday before returning to their clubs, the Lions said. After the Argentina game, the Lions will fly Down Under for a nine-match tour of Australia containing three tests against the Wallabies. ___ AP soccer:

For the first time, the president of a host nation has addressed the fans of a major event directly, declaring their support for the sport and all the teams competing. This morning, the Swiss president Karin Keller-Sutter released an official video which sends a clear message: Switzerland attaches great importance to UEFA Women's EURO 2025 and the role the host nation has to play. 'In Switzerland, even if you lose, you win' Keller-Sutter's message to football fans is one of positivity and optimism, as she points out 'wouldn't it be a pity to miss all this' before revealing to the viewers some of the host nation's best attributes, accompanied by beautiful on-screen visuals. What is the upside of losing UEFA Women's EURO 2025? The earlier a team goes out of the tournament, the more time they'll have to enjoy being in Switzerland! A female president supporting women in sport Karin Keller-Sutter serves as President of the Swiss Confederation this year, a role that rotates annually between the seven members of the Swiss Federal Council. Recently named by Financial Times as one of the '25 most influential women of the year' alongside prominent female figures ranging from Beyoncé to Ursula von der Leyen, Keller Sutter's landmark decision to record an official video of support is both a display of female empowerment and reflection on the office she holds. Switzerland, represented by its female president, is committed to women in sport and the growing significance of women's football.

Matches will be played in eight host cities – Basel, Bern, Geneva, Lucerne, Sion, St. Gallen, Thun and Zurich – with the final taking place on 27 July in Basel. Switzerland will write a new chapter in football history this year and will make UEFA Women's EURO 2025 even more memorable by offering visiting football fans a wide range of experiences before, during and after the tournament. It will also set new standards in terms of sustainability, with the Swiss rail network SBB providing over 300 extra trains across Switzerland and free-of-charge return travel to football matches (within Switzerland) for all ticket holders on match days.

Together they form the executive branch, with each councillor heading a federal department. The President of the Confederation chairs the meetings of the Federal Council. The presidency rotates annually. Elected in 2018, Karin Keller-Sutter has headed the Federal Department of Finance since 2023. In the same year, she was named one of the '25 most influential women of the year' by the British Financial Times — appearing on a list alongside figures such as Beyoncé and Ursula von der Leyen. 'Knowledge, courage and determination are perhaps the most important qualities in a politician — and to me, Karin embodies all of them,' wrote Swedish Finance Minister Elisabeth Svantesson at the time, referring to her Swiss counterpart. The active involvement of the President of the Confederation in support of UEFA Women's EURO 2025 highlights the growing significance of women's football and reflects the importance Switzerland attaches to hosting this European championship.
