Real Madrid's Flight Delayed in Florida Ahead of PSG Clash Due to Storms
Florida - Saba: Severe storms sweeping through the U.S. state of Florida this week have caused a delay in Real Madrid's flight from Palm Beach Airport to New York, where they are set to face Paris Saint-Germain in the FIFA Club World Cup semifinal at MetLife Stadium. The Spanish club's plane was originally scheduled to depart at 4:00 PM local time yesterday, but adverse weather conditions delayed the flight by a full hour. The U.S. National Hurricane Center had previously warned of the possibility of the weather developing into a tropical storm, placing the entire state of Florida on alert. Despite being aware of the forecasts, the club opted to return to Miami after their quarterfinal win over Juventus, choosing to remain at a hotel near their training base to ensure player comfort and safety. According to Spanish newspaper Marca, the unexpected delay disrupted FIFA's official media preparation schedule for the match, potentially forcing last-minute changes to Real Madrid's planned media appearances.

Porto Appoints Farioli as New Football Team Manager
Lisbon – Saba: Portuguese club Porto announced on Sunday the appointment of Italian Francesco Farioli as the new manager of the first football team on a two-year contract. Farioli replaces Martin Anselmi, who left Porto earlier in July following the team's elimination from the group stage of the FIFA Club World Cup. The Italian coach, formerly in charge of Ajax Amsterdam and Nice, departed the Dutch club last May after missing the chance to secure a 37th league title due to the team's late-season collapse, allowing PSV Eindhoven to clinch the championship in the final round. Farioli led Nice to a fifth-place finish in the 2023-2024 French league and previously managed Turkish clubs Fatih Karagümrük and Alanyaspor. Porto finished third in the Portuguese league last season, nine points behind champions Sporting Lisbon. Whatsapp Telegram Email Print
