Why Lucas Ribeiro shouldn't be naturalised for Bafana Bafana
He just needs a move to a big European league and he will definitely be in the Seleção conversation. Lucas Ribeiro #10 of Mamelodi Sundowns FC scores his team's first goal during the FIFA Club World Cup 2025 group F match against Borussia Dortmund at TQL Stadium on June 21 in Cincinnati, Ohio. Photo: Dylan Buell / GETTY IMAGES NORTH AMERICA / Getty Images via AFP Lucas Ribeiro's wonder goal against Borussia Dortmund at the FIFA Club World Cup which was later named Goal of the Tournament has reinforced what many already believe. The Brazilian attacker is operating on another level and should not be naturalised to play for South Africa. The Sundowns star collected the ball deep inside his own half, went past two Dortmund defenders, and coolly slotted it beyond Gregor Kobel. The world applauded, but South African fans were not surprised because they've seen it before. ALSO READ: Sundowns' Ribeiro wins Club World Cup goal of the tournament That goal mirrored his solo strike against Orlando Pirates in a Betway Premiership clash at Loftus Versfeld. It was the same surging run, the same composure, the same clinical finish. Only this time, the world was watching and the moment of genius will be talked about for years to come. Ribeiro has shown at the highest level that he has the quality to compete with the best. I've said it before, and I'll say it again. The 26-year-old is good enough for the Brazilian national team. His overall display at the global showpiece in the United States proved as much. He just needs a move to a big European league and he will definitely be in the Seleção conversation. In the PSL, he simply looks a class above the rest. He glides past defenders as though they aren't there. At times, it genuinely feels like he's playing with children, that's how good he is. In fact, there's nothing for him to prove in the PSL anymore and the only natural progression would be to seek greener pastures. Of course, Bafana would benefit from a player of Ribeiro's calibre, but the country's proud footballing heritage and historical background dictates that home grown players should be prioritised to represent the 1996 Africa Cup of Nations winners. ALSO READ: Sundowns' Cardoso reacts to being honoured in Portugal Brazil may be stacked with attacking talent like Vinícius Jr, Rodrygo, Neymar, Cunha and Raphinha, but Ribeiro is arguably a better all-round player than Manchester United outcast Antony. Ribeiro's story is far from over. A move to Europe could well be next, and with it, a chance to realise his dream of representing Brazil.

World Cup expected to give NY, NJ economy a $3 billion boost
New York and New Jersey officials are expecting to score a $3.3 billion boost when the World Cup soccer tournament returns to the US next year for the first time in more than three decades, according to a report released Monday. MeLlife Stadium, home of the Jets and Giants in East Rutherford, NJ, will host eight matches, including the final — which are projected to generate $1.3 billion in total labor income and $1.7 billion in spending by attendees and fans flocking to metropolitan area, according to the report by the NY/NJ Host Committee. 3 Paris Sant-Germain fans gathered in Times Square on July 11, 2025 ahead of the FIFA World Cup 2025 final match.

'Tensions are a good thing,' Trump said during a FIFA task force meeting at the White House earlier this year when asked how his policies could affect the World Cup. 'It'll make it more exciting,' he added. The US last hosted the world's premiere soccer tournament in 1994.

FIFA redefines ‘Club World Champions' status after Chelsea's triumph; tags past winners as ‘Intercontinental Champions'
In a surprising move, FIFA has renamed all it's past Club World Cup winners as 'Intercontinental Champions' and officially named Chelsea as the first-ever champions following the Blues' triumph over Paris Saint-Germain in New Jersey July 14. Having won the title in 2021, Chelsea scored three goals past French club PSG with forward Cole Palmer netting twice and assisting another. In his new format, where 32 teams participated in the FIFA Club World Cup 2025, Chelsea went home with the all-new trophy and a hefty cash prize. The new FIFA development also means that Chelsea will be listed as Intercontinental Champions once and Club World Cup champions. Real Madrid are the most successful side in the FIFA Club World Cup with five titles (2014, 2016, 2017, 2018, 2022). The other teams to have won the Club World Cup baring Chelsea are Barcelona, Corinthians, Bayern Munich, Liverpool, Sao Paulo, Internacional, AC Milan, Manchester United, Inter Milan and Manchester City - all to be known as Intercontinental Champions. The development first came to light, according to Daily Mail report, when FIFA posted a photo of winning Chelsea team with a caption 'The first ever FIFA CWC Champions." However, the FIFA edited the caption to make it 'CHELSEA ARE WORLD CHAMPIONS.'
