NICE: More than 100 Roma supporters have been arrested in Nice ahead of Wednesday’s Europa League match between the two teams. A violent altercation broke out Tuesday night and objects were thrown at police officers, while Nice fans reportedly riled up their Roma counterparts by chanting “there’s only Lazio in Rome.” Lazio are Roma’s fierce rival in the Italian capital. The two sets of fans reportedly never came into contact as they couldn’t breach the police lines. “A force of more than 200 personnel, including two mobile units, has been deployed in the city center of Nice since yesterday, to prevent any disturbance of public order and has arrested 102 individuals identified as Roma ultras in possession of weapons,” read a statement by the region’s prefecture. “These individuals have been taken into custody ... All weapons found have been seized.
The Afghan women’s refugee team will take the field for the first time in an international tournament when they compete in a four-team friendly competition in the United Arab Emirates next month, world governing body FIFA said on Wednesday. The team’s creation stems from the Taliban’s ban on women’s sports following their takeover of Afghanistan in 2021, prompting players to flee the country fearing persecution. The “FIFA Unites: Women’s Series” tournament will run from October 23-29 in Dubai and feature the nearly-formed Afghan refugee squad alongside the UAE, Chad and Libya’s regular teams. “Ensuring that all women have access to football is a priority for FIFA and a key element in shaping the future of our sport,” FIFA president Gianni Infantino said in a statement. “We are aware of the potential the game has both on and off the pitch.

BARCELONA: Barcelona midfielder Gavi will be out of action for up to five months after undergoing knee surgery to address a meniscus injury, the LaLiga champions said. The 21-year-old Spain international, who tore his anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) in November 2023, injured his right knee in training in August after featuring in Barca’s opening two matches of the season. “Gavi has had an arthroscopy to resolve a medial meniscus injury, which was sutured to preserve the meniscus. Recovery time is estimated at around four-five months,” Barca said in a statement late on Tuesday. Barca are second in LaLiga, trailing Real Madrid by five points but with a game in hand.
LONDON: The International Cricket Council (ICC) has suspended USA Cricket’s membership with immediate effect over repeated breaches of its obligations under the ICC Constitution, the sport’s global governing body said on Tuesday.
LONDON: Alexander Isak scored his first Liverpool goal to inspire a 2-1 win against Southampton in the League Cup third round, while Chelsea survived a scare to beat third-tier Lincoln on Tuesday. Isak was making his third appearance for Liverpool since his British record £125 million ($169 million) move from Newcastle on transfer deadline day. The 26-year-old had drawn a blank in his 58-minute debut appearance against Atletico Madrid and also failed to net after coming off the bench for the last 23 minutes of Saturday’s Merseyside derby win over Everton. But Isak got off the mark in the 43nd minute as Southampton goalkeeper Alex McCarthy tried a short pass that was intercepted by Federico Chiesa, who picked out the Sweden striker to fire home. It was a belated birthday present for Isak, who turned 26 on Sunday. Isak, who had scored for Newcastle in their League Cup final win against Liverpool last season, was taken off at half-time as he builds up his fitness after missing pre-season training while his transfer was being negotiated. Shea Charles equalized for the Championship side in the 76th minute with a close-range finish after a wayward header from Liverpool’s Wataru Endo. Arne Slot had made 11 changes from the Everton game but substitute Hugo Ekitike saved Liverpool’s understudies from a penalty shoot-out when he finished off Chiesa’s pass in the 85th minute. The French striker took off his shirt to celebrate and was dismissed for a second bookable offense. Liverpool have made a perfect start to the season, with seven successive wins, including five in the Premier League to take them to the top of the table and one in the Champions League against Atletico. “Not our best performance.
