WASHINGTON — Former UFC middleweight and light heavyweight champion Alex Pereira weighed in at 251 pounds for his heavyweight debut on Sunday at UFC Freedom 250 at the White House.
LOS ANGELES: When Iran kick off their World Cup campaign next week in Los Angeles, Iranian-American businessman Ehsan Shafi will be in the stands cheering on Team Melli, a rare chance to welcome the national side he adores to his adopted home. Instead of a moment of pure sporting celebration, however, the US-Israeli war with Iran has left fans like Shafi torn between excitement at seeing the team on the world’s biggest stage, anger at Tehran’s crackdown on protesters, and concern that Washington’s bombing campaign has gone too far. Reuters interviews with Iranian-American soccer fans in Los Angeles, home to the world’s largest Iranian Diaspora, along with a review of social media posts, show a community split between pride in Iranian identity and rejection of the country’s rulers, forcing many to weigh whether to watch, attend or disengage from the tournament altogether. “All players wish to have a chance to play in the World Cup,” said 46-year-old Shafi, speaking after playing in a Sunday morning game for Arya FC, an amateur Iranian-American club in the Los Angeles suburb of Woodland Hills. “It doesn’t matter what’s happening in the world. We are so excited to see our national team.” Even so, Shafi acknowledged the tension. “It’s a very complicated situation,” he said. “Nobody likes to see their country under bombing. It’s very complicated for our people.”

DUBLIN: Ireland’s home game against Israel in the Nations League will be played at a neutral site and behind closed doors, the Irish soccer federation confirmed Friday. The Football Association of Ireland, which faced calls by pro-Palestinian activists for a boycott, said the Oct. 4 game originally scheduled for Aviva Stadium in the Irish capital posed “operational challenges.” At a recent home friendly against Qatar, Irish activists hurled tennis balls onto the pitch in protest.
RAMALLAH: The head of the Palestinian Football Association is waiting in Mexico City for permission to enter the United States with other federation heads attending the 2026 FIFA World Cup. Jibril Rajoub went to the opening match between Mexico and South Africa on Thursday. But he is among several people accredited to attend the World Cup who have been denied visas or have yet to receive them from the United States. “I don’t believe that it’s fair to use or to abuse and deny the right of all footballers all over the world to attend,” the veteran Palestinian political figure said in an interview with The Associated Press. The Palestinian team did not qualify for the World Cup, but FIFA typically invites the heads of football associations from around the world to the event every four years, which it frames as a celebration of global unity. “Everyone will be welcome in Canada, Mexico and the United States for the FIFA World Cup next year.
