Keeta Continues AFC Sponsorship, Supporting Key Asian Qualifiers
Following its debut during the Saudi Arabia vs. China fixture in March, Keeta will now support two upcoming qualifiers: Saudi Arabia vs. Bahrain on June 5th in Bahrain and Saudi Arabia vs. Australia on June 10th in Jeddah. These matches mark Keeta's second and third activations under its partnership with the Asian Football Confederation (AFC).
'As the AFC qualifiers progress, we're pleased to be part of these moments that bring people together,' said Ashley Lui, CEO of Keeta, Middle East. 'Through our continued sponsorship, we aim to contribute to the energy and unity that football creates across communities.'
Keeta's presence includes in-stadium visibility, digital engagement, and fan-oriented activations designed to enhance the matchday experience in a thoughtful and localized way. Influencer collaborations and real-time content will support community engagement around the matches.
This sponsorship reflects Keeta's growing connection with Saudi Arabia and its alignment with Vision 2030 goals, encouraging active lifestyles, local innovation, and stronger community ties. With over 30,000 riders and partnerships with thousands of restaurants across the Kingdom, Keeta is steadily becoming part of daily life for many households. As the global arm of Meituan, Keeta leverages the expertise of its mother company which manages over 98 million peak daily orders and serves more than 770 million users.
While Keeta's involvement is through its official sponsorship of the AFC, its increasing presence at key matches hosted in the GCC underscores a broader commitment to the region's development, culture, and people.

2025 AFC No. 1 Seed Odds: Can Bills Finally Reclaim Top Spot?
Does it feel like the Patriots used to claim the No. 1 seed in the AFC just about every year? That's because they pretty much did — right up until 2018. Since then, the Chiefs have stepped in as the AFC's top dog, snagging the No. 1 seed four times since 2018 and winning three AFC Championships during that stretch. Who will finish atop the AFC standings this season? Will K.C. do it again, or can the Bills or Ravens take over? Check out the odds at DraftKings Sportsbook as of Aug. 11. AFC No. 1 seed Bills: +190 (bet $10 to win $29 total)Ravens: +260 (bet $10 to win $36 total)Chiefs: +475 (bet $10 to win $57.50 total)Broncos: +1100 (bet $10 to win $120 total)Chargers: +1200 (bet $10 to win $130 total)Bengals: +1400 (bet $10 to win $150 total)Patriots: +2000 (bet $10 to win $210 total)Steelers: +2500 (bet $10 to win $260 total)Texans: +2500 (bet $10 to win $260 total)Jaguars: +4500 (bet $10 to win $460 total)Dolphins: +5000 (bet $10 to win $510 total)Colts: +8000 (bet $10 to win $810 total)Titans: +10000 (bet $10 to win $1,010 total)Raiders: +10000 (bet $10 to win $1,010 total)Jets: +16000 (bet $10 to win $1,610 total)Browns: +30000 (bet $10 to win $3,010 total) Last year, the Chiefs topped the conference again, finishing 15-2 and tying for the best record in the NFL. But this year, oddsmakers are shifting their focus to Buffalo and Baltimore as potential favorites to claim the AFC's top seed in 2025. Buffalo came up two games short of Kansas City's league-best record last season, finishing 13-4 and falling 32-29 to the Chiefs in the AFC Championship Game. The Ravens ended 12-5, good for third in the AFC. While the Bills have dominated the AFC East — winning the division five years running and making the playoffs every year but one since 2017 — their last time as the AFC's No. 1 seed was way back in 1993. Last postseason, Buffalo defeated Baltimore 29-27 in the divisional round. Over the past 25 years, the AFC No. 1 seed has made 13 Super Bowl appearances — but only claimed the title five times. Between 2003 and 2017, the Patriots were the AFC's No. 1 seed seven times. Kansas City has been No. 1 four times since 2017, reaching the Super Bowl three times and winning once in 2022. Baltimore earned the top seed in 2019 and 2023 but fell short of reaching the AFC Championship Game both seasons. Want great stories delivered right to your inbox?

Travis Kelce vows to return to elite level in 2025: 'These past two years haven't been to my standard'
By most standards, the Kansas City Chiefs had a tremendous season in 2024. The team went 15-2, earned the No. 1 seed in the AFC playoffs and rode that success all the way to the Super Bowl. Under the surface, though, there were signs the team's excellence was overstated. The Chiefs barely won a number of close games during the regular season and, despite being the best player in football, Patrick Mahomes failed to put up MVP numbers despite the team trying to give him some new weapons. All of that seemed to get exposed in the Super Bowl, where the Chiefs were trounced 40-22 by the Philadelphia Eagles. Star tight end Travis Kelce knows he was part of that problem. After a decade of dominance, Kelce has seen his numbers decline in recent years. With the Chiefs' pass catchers plagued by injuries last season, Kelce should have turned in a monster year. Instead, he finished with his lowest yardage and touchdown total since his rookie season, when he played in one game. His own struggles, combined with the Super Bowl loss, weighed heavy on Kelce, who told GQ he's committed to getting back to an elite level in 2025. 'Win a Super Bowl is the only goal,' Kelce says. 'It's the only goal. It's every goal.' It's been nearly four months since that defeat, and Kelce is still hard on himself about it. 'I think it might have slipped a little bit because I did have a little bit more focus in trying to set myself up. And opportunities came up where I was excited to venture into a new world of acting and being an entertainer,' he says. 'I don't say this as 'I shouldn't have done it.' I'm just saying that my work ethic is such that I have so much pride in how I do things that I never want the product to tail off, and I feel like these past two years haven't been to my standard.' He adds, 'I just have such a motivation to show up this year for my guys.' Kelce admitted he might have "slipped a little bit" due to focusing on things outside football. Kelce has been involved in quite a bit in the entertainment realm in recent years. His "New Heights" podcast with his brother took off and is among the most popular sports podcasts around, he took on an acting role on "Grotesquerie" and hosted "Saturday Night Live." During that period, he also started dating pop superstar Taylor Swift, who he discussed in the GQ profile. Kelce's love and admiration for Swift come through in the piece, and Kelce also talks about how he got Swift to really love football. 'I sort of made her a football fan,' Kelce says. 'She is the most engulfed fan now. She knows what the injury reports look like. She understands what special situations are, third and short—all these things because she just naturally loves to hear about my job.' Whether Kelce is able to return to an elite level at his job remains to be seen. He's already put himself among the best tight ends to ever play the game and is easily one of the best football players of his era. But Kelce will turn 36 during the 2025 NFL season, and it's possible his recent decline is more related to age than commitment. Given Kelce's greatness, though, it's foolish to bet against him turning in at least one more phenomenal season before he hangs up his cleats. It certainly sounds like he's working hard to make that a reality.

China Market Update: Semiconductor Stocks Soar, Tariff Deadline Extended (Again)
Asian equities were mostly higher overnight on the US' decision to extend the tariff 'deadline' once again (shocking), as Indonesia and Japan outperformed, while Korea and Thailand underperformed. Hong Kong and Mainland markets were both higher overnight, though the Hang Seng Tech Index closed lower by the end of the session on mixed performance from internet name, though technology hardware names largely did well. Alibaba's Hong Kong-listed shares were slightly lower overnight, Kuaishou was sharply lower, and Meituan was slightly higher. Mainland investors had another billion-plus day, in dollar terms, of net buying of Hong Kong-listed stocks and ETFs via Southbound Stock Connect. Trump extended the tariff 'deadline' once again for another three months or 90 days. Why does this keep getting extended? Likely because the Trump team knows that $3,000 to $5,000 iPhones would be highly destabilizing to the US economy. It's the Art of the Deal! The deadline is likely to continue to get extended until we get a deal. There remain many chances for a Trump-Xi Summit in the fall, including the September 9th commemoration of the end of World War II in Beijing, the UN General Assembly (UNGA), also in September, and APEC in October. We will see, though it looks like the president will be meeting Puttin first. Kuaishou fell nearly -10% in Hong Kong overnight after the video platform added a food delivery section to its 'super app' that links to Meituan. The sell-off was likely overblown, but investors have become very sensitive to the potential margin impact of instant commerce and food delivery promotions. Thankfully, Kuaishou does not appear to be starting its own business in the space. Wang Yiming from the PBOC commented on instance commerce price wats and China's anti-involution policy to combat this, explaining that it is not anticompetitive. Per the South China Morning Post, he said that 'It [the policy]Semiconductor companies Cambricon Technologies, which is listed on the STAR Market and gained +20% overnight, Foxconn Industrial, which gained +9%, were higher on government guidance against the use of Nvidia's H20 chips in China, for which the American semiconductor maker just secured an export license. It is likely stemming from the US government's demand to take a cut of Nvidia's China sales revenue.
