Good morning! Curacao, with a population of less than 160,000, became the "smallest" country in the history of qualifying for the World Cup finals. 42 of the 48 participating teams in the U.S.-Canada-Mexico World Cup have been determined, four more places will be determined in the European play-offs, and the other two places will be determined in the six-team intercontinental play-offs. The play-off date is at the end of March next year, and the group draw ceremony for the World Cup finals will be held on the night of the 5th next month.

"The World's Best" Ashraf was named the 2025 African Footballer of the Year. This year he helped PSG win five trophies, including the Champions League, and also advanced to the World Cup finals with the Moroccan team.

The Premier League is back on fire this weekend. Arsenal, the top team, will play a North London derby against Tottenham on Sunday. The team's main central defender, Brazilian international Gabriel, is likely to miss a month due to an adductor strain. The Gunners will also face Bayern and Chelsea next week. This is the critical moment to test them!
