Winners. Ceferin, President of UEFA, and Dominguez, from CONMEBOL, they posed radiant these days for Doha. Its enormous power seems to have brought down the project of the world biennial of Infantine. Not only that. Relations are so good that this Monday they sign in London a collaboration agreement between both confederations that will have a permanent office in the English capital.

Imagine: the current tournament by leagues of selections of UEFA incorporating to Brazil, Argentina, Colombia, Uruguay… A Super Nations League, actually. And she will have a female version. There is a deadline for it to start, 2024, but the positions are very close. The FIFA, Of course, she is attentive.
‘killer’ The footballers are still pending the changes and claim their share of prominence. David Aganzo, President of FIFPro, he always stayed very close to the heavyweights by pushing on Qatar.

Today we discover… Pablo Maia (2002). The last great irruption of Brazilian football has made a Paulista fantastic with São Paulo. in the final before palm trees He scored a great goal from outside the area, but he also brings a lot of quality and work in midfield.
