Tesla Cybertruck Joins Police Fleet In Mexico Ahead Of 2026 FIFA World Cup
The Cybertruck was seen covered in a matte black wrap and displayed the usual police markings. Red and blue flashing lights are built into the front and back bumpers, as well as the sides. While the local police haven't shared any interior photos, they likely have the necessary equipment for patrolling and enforcing the law. These Cybertrucks are just a small part of a larger group of new vehicles being introduced by the state.

Jalisco's government will deliver 678 vehicles for its security forces. This includes three modified Tesla Cybertrucks. Recently, one of the Cybertrucks was spotted on the streets alongside two police Ford F-Series trucks. Mayor Pablo Lemus Navarro aims to improve safety ahead of the World Cup.
Some residents showed concern about the spending but Governor Pablo Lemus supports the investment. He believes it is essential to update public security infrastructure, as the Cybertruck will be used for intelligence work, searches, detentions, and crime prevention throughout the state.
Mexico is not the only country using the Cybertruck for police work. Earlier this year, Las Vegas announced it would be receiving 10 Cybertrucks, donated by an anonymous supporter. Some will be used by SWAT teams, while others will patrol the streets.
The 2026 Football World Cup will be hosted by Mexico, the USA, and Canada, with 48 teams participating. The event is scheduled from June 11 to July 19 across 16 cities.

Son Heung-min set to leave Tottenham Hotspur, hints at international retirement post 2026 World Cup
Tottenham Hotspur star footballer and captain Son Heung-min will end his stint with the Premier League club based in London before the 2025-26 season, the 33-year-old South Korean announced on Saturday. The Club veteran also hinted at retirement after the 2026 FIFA World Cup. Son is under contract with Spurs until 2026 and has led the club to their first trophy in 17 years with their win over Manchester United in the Europa League final in May, having joined the North London club from Bayer Leverkusen in 2015. 'I have decided to leave the team this summer,' he said at a press conference ahead of Spurs' pre-season friendly against Newcastle United in Seoul on Sunday. 'I think it was one of the most difficult decisions I've ever made in my football career. Playing football and being with one team for 10 years is something I am very proud of, but I think I gave my all to the team every single day. I did my best on the field and off the field, and by winning the Europa League, I thought I'd done everything I could and achieved,' he added. South Korea's Son has spent a decade at the Premier League side, scoring 173 goals in 454 appearances. He also won the Premier League Golden Boot in the 2021-22 season. 'When I first arrived at Tottenham 10 years ago, I was a young boy who couldn't even speak English well. I'm leaving now as a man. I believe timing is crucial in saying goodbye, and now feels like the right time,' he said. Speaking on his international career, Son said, 'The World Cup is the most important. It could be my last World Cup, so it's crucial that I give it my all. Also important is finding a place where I can play football happily. That's what I'm contemplating.' While the South Korean did not disclose his next destination, British media have linked him with a move to Major League Soccer club Los Angeles FC. 'It was the place where I grew a lot as a football player and a person, so I have a very grateful heart.' Manager Thomas Frank said Son was 'truly Spurs legend in every aspect'. 'I like that the club has been open to it because it is never, never easy to find that perfect timing … I think it is probably the perfect timing going out on a high,' he added. Son made his senior international debut against Syria and has 51 international goals to his name, which is the second-highest ever in South Korean football, after Cha Bum-kun. (With Reuters inputs)

Sweety Devi eyes better prep with more friendlies before Asian Cup challenge
Udaipur, Aug 2 (PTI) With India set to play 12 international friendlies in the build-up to the AFC Women's Asian Cup, seasoned centre-back Sweety Devi Ngangbam believes the added exposure will strengthen their dream of qualifying for the FIFA World Cup. India, ranked 70th in the world, have been placed in a tough Group C alongside Asian heavyweights Japan (7), Vietnam (37), and Chinese Taipei (42) for the continental tournament, to be held in Australia from March 1 to 21, 2026. 'Japan are always a top team, and playing against them is a huge opportunity. We know we must be mentally strong, and we will play to the best of our abilities," Sweety told PTI Videos during the launch of the Zinc Football Girls Academy in Zawar, near Udaipur. The All India Football Federation has unveiled an extensive roadmap for the Indian women's team, including 83 days of national camps, 12 international friendlies, 5-7 domestic matches, and an early start to the Indian Women's League 2025-26 season. 'The federation has prepared a road map for our season, which begins in March, and we will be playing international friendlies, which are incredibly important. We will try giving our best for the Asia Cup and are focused on qualifying for the World Cup." India open their Asian Cup campaign against Vietnam on March 4, followed by matches against Japan (March 7) and Chinese Taipei (March 10). 'Winning every international match we play is our goal. These friendlies will give us crucial exposure. 'The coaches will guide us on the areas we need to improve, and we are committed to giving our full effort," added Sweety who led India in two matches — against Mongolia and hosts Thailand during their triumphant campaign at the Asian Cup qualifiers. She was captain as part of a rotation policy adopted by head coach Crispin Chettri, who announced the captain on matchday mornings and handed over the armband in the dressing room. India topped Group B in the AFC qualifiers with wins over Thailand, Iraq, Timor-Leste and Mongolia to qualify for the tournament for the first time since 2003. India were forced to withdraw from the 2022 edition due to a COVID-19 outbreak in the squad. Sweety relished the opportunity to captain the national side and sees the Women's World Cup as the ultimate target. 'The captaincy rotation was a great experience. It provided many of us with valuable insights into team management and fostered a special bond within the squad," she said. 'Our main goal is to perform well in the AFC and qualify for the World Cup. If we do so, then I would also look forward to playing in international leagues. My personal goal would be to become the best player in the AFC," she added. Twelve teams will compete in the Asian Cup and the four group winners will seal World Cup berths directly. The losing teams will enter play-ins for two more spots. Sweety also spoke fondly of her long-time teammate and regular skipper Ashalata Devi. 'As for my camaraderie with Ashalata Devi, I've played alongside her for a long time. I started my career with her, and I still miss her." On Thursday, Hindustan Zinc Ltd, in collaboration with the AIFF, launched the Zinc Football Girls Academy in Zawar — the country's first technology-driven residential football academy exclusively for girls. 'This is a very big step, and as a women's player, it's a proud moment to see academies opening up in smaller cities of Rajasthan," Sweety said.

Is Spurs' Son Heung-Min Hinting At Retirement? Reveals '2026 World Cup Could Be My Last'
Last Updated: Son leaves Spurs after nearly a decade, seemingly set to join MLS' Los Angeles FC. The South Korean aims to prepare for what could possibly be his final FIFA World Cup in 2026. Tottenham Hotspur legend Son Heung-min has confirmed his departure from the club after nearly a decade of loyal service — a move driven in part by his desire to prepare for what may be his final FIFA World Cup. The South Korean forward, who has reportedly agreed personal terms with MLS side Los Angeles FC, leaves behind a remarkable legacy at Spurs. With 173 goals and 101 assists in all competitions, Son, who joined Spurs from Bayer Leverkusen in August 2015 for a fee of £22 million, sits fourth on the club's list of all-time leading goalscorers — trailing only Harry Kane, Jimmy Greaves, and Bobby Smith. Son was also the captain when Tottenham lifted their long-awaited first trophy in 17 years — a memorable victory over Manchester United in the UEFA Europa League final in May. Reflecting on his departure, the 32-year-old said: 'It was the most difficult decision of my football career. I've been here ten years at a beautiful club with beautiful fans and having such amazing memories." 'When I first arrived at Tottenham 10 years ago, I was a young boy who couldn't even speak English well. I'm leaving now as a man. I believe timing is crucial in saying goodbye, and now feels like the right time." 'The World Cup is the most important. It could be my last World Cup, so it's crucial that I give it my all," Son said. 'Also important is finding a place where I can play football happily. That's what I'm contemplating." Son made his senior international debut in 2010 against Syria, just before the 2011 AFC Asian Cup. He has since earned over 100 caps for South Korea, scoring 51 goals — second only to national legend Cha Bum-kun. Despite winning gold with the U-23 team at the 2018 Asian Games, a major international title with the senior team has so far eluded him — a gap he hopes to fill on the global stage next year. view comments Disclaimer: Comments reflect users' views, not News18's.
