DUBLIN :Ireland coach Andy Farrell on Wednesday named a familiar-looking squad for their November series, including Caelan Doris, as the captain continues his recovery from an injury that kept him out of the recent British and Irish Lions tour.
PRAGUE: The Czech football federation (FACR) announced the sacking of national team coach Ivan Hasek on Wednesday, following a humiliating 2-1 defeat in a 2026 World Cup qualifier against the Faroe Islands. Seeking their first World Cup appearance since 2006, the Czechs are not even completely sure of a berth in the playoffs next March — a situation compounded by their loss in Torshavn on Sunday. Croatia top Group L, three points ahead of the Czech Republic, and the 2018 World Cup runners-up also have a game in hand on their rivals. The Faroes lie one point behind the Czechs, with both having one match remaining in their campaign. “We have terminated cooperation with Ivan Hasek as of today,” FACR head David Trunda told reporters. Trunda added that the FACR would now look for a new coach, possibly a foreigner. An “interim coach” is meanwhile likely to lead the team in their last World Cup qualifier at home to Gibraltar in November. Hasek started his second stint as national team coach ahead of Euro 2024, at which the Czechs were knocked out in the group stage. Pundits criticized the 62-year-old former midfielder for his unattractive style of play, while he bemoaned having no players coming even close to the level of former Czech greats such as Pavel Nedved or Tomas Rosicky. Hasek came under heavy fire following a 5-1 defeat in a World Cup qualifier in Croatia in June. As a player.

WASHINGTON: US President Donald Trump said Tuesday that FIFA chief Gianni Infantino would support moving 2026 World Cup games from US cities for security reasons if necessary. In September, Trump raised the possibility of moving games amid his crackdown on Democratic-run cities, but at the time FIFA said that it was up to football’s governing body to decide where games are held. “If somebody is doing a bad job and if I feel there’s unsafe conditions, I would call Gianni, the head of FIFA, who’s phenomenal, and I would say, let’s move it to another location. And he would do that,” Trump told reporters at the White House when asked if games could be moved from Boston, one of the host cities. “Very easily he would do it.” Trump’s comments came a day after he met close friend Infantino in Egypt at a summit on a Gaza ceasefire, where the FIFA boss joined more than two dozen world leaders who were discussing peace in the Middle East. The US president also suggested that, if necessary, events for the 2028 Los Angeles Olympics could also be moved. “I could say the same thing for the Olympics,” Trump said.
