Football fever takes over as 1,300 join AIA's Score with Spurs Camp
SCORE with Spurs Camp, the highly anticipated football coaching programme by AIA Malaysia in collaboration with Tottenham Hotspur Football Club, made an exhilarating return this year – bringing together over 1,300 aspiring junior and adult participants for a three-day football experience at the Eco Ardence Setia Alam Football Arena. Held from 30 May to 1 June 2025, the camp was led by Tottenham Hotspur International Development coaches Lily Jervis and Sabrina Dias, alongside 24 experienced local coaches. The camp was divided into two daily sessions: mornings were dedicated to the Junior Camp which welcomed more than 700 children aged 7-13, while evenings catered to the Adult Camp, which saw a turn-up of nearly 650 participants. This format ensured participants received tailored, age-appropriate training and guidance to maximise their experience. Each day kicked off with dynamic warm-up activities that were also open to participants' families and friends, creating a vibrant and energetic atmosphere where they could join in the excitement. Beyond honing basic football skills like dribbling, passing and shooting, the training sessions also featured tactical drills and friendly matches. These sessions were thoughtfully structured to build confidence, encourage progression and reinforce key values such as teamwork, discipline and sportsmanship – all while ensuring the experience remained fun and engaging for participants of all ages and skill levels. Launched in 2021 as a virtual football coaching programme during the pandemic with just 160 participants, Score with Spurs has steadily grown into a meaningful avenue for Malaysians to stay healthy and active in a fun and engaging way. In 2022, the programme transitioned to on-ground sessions with the introduction of the Adult and Junior Camps, which have since expanded to five to six sessions annually. By making world-class football coaching more accessible to Malaysians, Score with Spurs continues to inspire and promote healthier lifestyles, nurture football talents from the grassroot level, and empower communities to live Healthier, Longer, Better Lives.

Win the Europa League final and Spurs have had a better year than Arsenal
If you're idly reading this, I can't imagine your life is so rigid. But then again if you are on the way to the Europa League final, perhaps the reading of every scrap concerned with Tottenham Hotspur Football Club is your priority, in which case congratulations, keep at it, you're doing a fantastic job. Personally, I find it near impossible to figure out how to prioritise anything in life. Except that if something must happen soon, then I seem to prioritise anything else that might possibly be around to do. Even the dishwasher, or fixing the broken toilet roll thingy. In the end the decision is generally made for me by the cruel march of time. The deadline arrives, it must be done. It's irritating. But it is also true that for most of us it is hard to easily tell what should – or should not – be prioritised to make our lives complete. Not so if you're a football club. Their priority is to win. And like many with the resources, but more painfully, perhaps, than all, if you are Tottenham Hotspur, your aim, long established, long derided, is to win silverware. Wake up to find news on your club in your inbox every morning with Metro's Football Newsletter. Sign up to our newsletter and then select your team in the link so we can send you football news tailored to you. Tonight Tottenham return to a major European final for the first time since 2019. Their aim is a first European trophy in 41 years (well, 40 years 363 days actually). It is hard to express what this trophy would mean to this club. But, everything. Mauricio Pochettino is held in such high regard by Spurs supporters not just for that mad, beautiful Champions League run – in a season without signings – but for his decency and his commitment to treating the ambitions of Tottenham fans with respect. I will always love Poch, and whenever I see him making flirty little comments about the fanbase and the club, my Spurs group chats light up. We miss him still. But one area where he perhaps underestimated the fans' desire was in the yearning for a cup. He prioritised the league over going deep in domestic cup competitions, and we were rewarded – but never got to kick out the trophy cabinet mothballs or earn a rebuttal to the jokes. Ange Postecoglou understands this. Iron-clad self-belief can seem frightening up close, but his claim 'I always win something in my second year' is not just a (correct) boast, it is also a statement of intent and a source of pride and comfort to his squad: we will get there, it is ordained. He cannot know what will come to pass in Bilbao tonight. But that established refrain means we ride on confidence rather than desperation. Yes, despite it all. Clickbait chumps have demanded that the established bonus for winning the Europa League – a place in the Champions League – be stripped from either Tottenham or Manchester United because of their laughable positions in the Premier League table. And for both sets of fans this year much domestic football has been a humiliating grind. But Postecoglou has prioritised. I'm not trying to claim the league form is a deliberate trade, but he looked at what was available to him, identified the tasks ahead and had to choose. He chose right. And because the Europa League winner does earn Champions League football, sorry Keysy, tonight makes an irrelevance of the league finish. The Premier League form is not even really a compromise, except to the suffering of my eyes. Win tonight and no one can deny Spurs' season is better than that of repeat league runners-up Arsenal. More Trending And this is the difference between football as a job and football as a hobby. No one is rationing fans' word count or energy resources. It's perfectly fine to spend the whole season bemoaning Ange's lack of nous and then gloat ad nauseam if the cup is ours. Because practical realities mean nothing. It's like promising 0% immigration to the UK from Trump's golden elevator, rather than running the country. There is a plan, which this team and this manager have my utmost respect for making, whether or not it plays out tonight in Spurs' favour. See you in the Champions League next season, suckers.

‘Ted Lasso' is coming back for Season 4
Ted Lasso the character was first introduced by Sudeikis in 2013 to promote NBC Sports' coverage of the England Premier League. In a short film, Lasso was the coach of London's Tottenham Hotspur Football Club. It was quickly clear that he knew little — if anything — about soccer. 'They're gonna play hard for all four quarters,' Lasso said of the players in a mock press conference. 'Do we have any goals this season? Absolutely. We're gonna win a lot of games and we're gonna get in the playoffs.' 'There's no playoffs,' a reporter corrected from the audience. The bit was so popular that Sudeikis was tapped to reprise the character again the following year. Advertisement The idea came up to write a show around the character but it didn't come to fruition until 'He's the version of me that I wish I could be,' Sudeikis told the AP ahead of its debut. 'He has highs and lows like anyone. But he's eternally optimistic and hopeful and sincere.' 'Ted Lasso' has won seven Advertisement
