FRANKFURT: Investigators raided Germany’s football association headquarters and other locations across the country Wednesday as part of a probe into corruption linked to the Euro 2024 tournament. The case centers on allegations that employees of cities in Germany, which hosted the competition, were illegally invited to matches and received tickets on preferential terms from the organizers, police and prosecutors said. The DFB football association confirmed its Frankfurt headquarters were searched. Officials did not say which other places were targeted but the Bild tabloid reported that several city administrations, including in Berlin, Hamburg, Stuttgart and Munich, were raided as well as companies. “The subject of the investigation is unauthorized benefits that were allegedly granted, including in the form of attendance at an international football match,” police and prosecutors in North Rhine-Westphalia state said in a statement. A suspect working for a host city is accused of receiving these benefits “from persons responsible at the organizing company,” it said. “In addition, the host cities are said to have been offered exclusive pre-purchase rights for tickets by those responsible at the organizing company.” Euro 2024 took place in cities across Germany in June and July 2024. The news of the probe came two days after four-time champions Germany suffered a shock exit at the World Cup, eliminated on penalties by minnows Paraguay.
BEIRUT: Heavyweight boxing is entering a new era after Oleksandr Usyk’s decided to stand down as unified champion and sent his belts to different parts of the world. That’s given a bunch of globally unheralded fighters the chance to emerge from the shadows in the sport’s glamor division. Usyk recently vacated his WBA, IBF and WBC heavyweight world titles “ahead of stepping into the ring for my final fight” — without saying who that “last dance,” as he put it, would be against. “I want to make them available,” the unbeaten Ukrainian said of his belts, “so the guys who are next in line can fight for them.” So, who are they? Here’s a look at where the belts are headed in a division that has been blown wide open as Usyk — the dominant heavyweight force for the last five years — takes a new direction and established stars like Anthony Joshua and Tyson Fury are seemingly in the twilight of their careers. Germany’s first heavyweight champ in nearly a century Agit Kabayel didn’t even have to fight to become world champion. The 33-year-old German was recognized as the new WBC champion last weekend, his ascension capping a steady rise in his 15-year undefeated professional career. Over the past few years Kabayel has collected various regional heavyweight titles — European, Continental Americas, Mediterranean — amid a run of 27 straight wins. Now he has been gifted the big one before fight No.
