Tributes paid after Macau footballer is killed in car crash aged 20
Tributes have been paid to a young Macau footballer who played for his city's representative team, after he was killed in a car accident on Monday. Leon Ng Lai-teng, who was 20 years old, was one of six passengers involved in a single-vehicle accident near Macau's Grand Prix Building, local media reported. The car crashed into barriers on Avenida da Amizade on Monday morning. Reports stated that the vehicle's 20-year-old female driver lost her life in the crash, as did Ng, another 20-year-old male and a 19-year-old male. Three further people suffered life-threatening injuries, according to the reports. Ng had played for Macau's representative team against their Hong Kong counterparts at Hong Kong's Mong Kok Stadium in March this year. Leon Ng in action for his club.

China's Shandong Taishan gets 2-year ban from Asian club competitions after Ulsan no-show
Chinese club Shandong Taishan has been banned from Asian club competition for two years for its no-show against South Korean side Ulsan HD in the Asian Champions League (ACL) Elite in February. The Chinese Super League side pulled out hours before the February 19 match, blaming 'serious physical discomfort' of players and saying they were unable to form a team. The Asian Football Confederation's (AFC) Disciplinary and Ethics Commission said Shandong would not be able to play in the AFC's club competitions up to and including the 2026/27 season editions, and fined the club US$50,000. It also ordered Shandong to return a participation fee of US$600,000 and a performance bonus of US$200,000 to the AFC along with compensation of US$40,000 to Ulsan 'in respect of damages and losses claimed' by the South Korean club. Shandong's pull-out came days after the club said it had banned supporters for 'inappropriate behaviour' during a home ACL match against South Korean team Gwangju after fans in the crowd displayed images of South Korea's last military dictator, Chun Doo-hwan. Hundreds of people are estimated to have died or gone missing when the South Korean government violently put down the Gwangju uprising by pro-democracy protesters in May 1980, when Chun was the de facto leader of the country after leading a military coup.
