Newcastle United have urged fans to refrain from wearing traditional Arabic attire or Middle East-inspired head coverings at games, the Premier League club said in a statement on Wednesday.
Newcastle were acquired by a Saudi Arabia-led consortium earlier this month.
A number of supporters turned up in robes and head coverings for the home clash against Tottenham Hotspur at the weekend, the first game since the takeover.
After months of back-page rumors and legal challenges, Newcastle United's Saudi takeover was officially announced last week, much to the elation of Newcastle supporters.
Fans took to the streets outside of St. James' Park in celebration of the cash flow that they hope will be injected into the club, as they dreamed of Kylian Mbappé, Philippe Coutinho, and other high-price attackers suiting up in the Magpies' black and white stripes.
LONDON - A Saudi-Arabian backed consortium completed its purchase of Premier League club Newcastle United on Thursday as a long-running takeover saga finally reached the conclusion the majority of the club's supporters desired.
Fourteen months after Saudi Arabia's Public Investment Fund (PIF) withdrew a $415.07 million bid to buy the north-east club from owner Mike Ashley following the Premier League's failure to give regulatory approval, a deal was announced after a day of mounting excitement on Tyneside.
When actors Ryan Reynolds and Rob McElhenney purchased fifth-tier Wrexham AFC back in February, they promised to turn the Welsh side into a global force, safeguard the club’s history (it’s the third oldest football team in the world), invest in the women’s squad and redevelop the 157-year-old Racecourse Stadium.
We were treated to an all-time CONCACAF moment last week when Ronnie Brunswijk, the 60-year-old Vice President of Suriname, started and played 54 minutes in the round of 16 of the CONCACAF League.
Brunswijk suited up for Inter Moengotapoe (IMT), the club he owns, as they lost 6-0 to Honduran side Olimpia. Needless to say, he looked a little out of place:
Pasaron tantas cosas en el duelo por la Concacaf League entre el Inter Moengotapoe de Surinam y el Olimpia de Honduras que no queda otra que describir la jornada vivida en el estadio Franklin Essed de Paramaribo como la noche más Concacaf de todo el 2021.
Todo gracias a este hombre: Roonie Brunswijk.
You read that headline correctly. The Suriname Vice President, Ronnie Brunswijk, played for 54 minutes against Honduran club giant Olimpia on Tuesday night. The club he owns and captained that night, Inter Moengotapoe, lost 6-0.
Brunswijk is officially the oldest player in the world to play in an international club competition at the spry young age of 60. Inter and Olimpia were playing in the Concacaf League, which is essentially the UEFA Europa League equivalent.
La rivalidad entre la Liga MX y la MLS es un negocio lucrativo que no se satisface solo con el duopolio que han establecido ambas ligas en la Liga de Campeones de la Concacaf ni con un Juego de Estrellas. No, señores, no. Por lo mismo, hoy autoridades de ambas competencias anunciaron una expansión de la Leagues Cup a partir de 2023.
Expansión, por cierto, es una palabra modesta considerando que la idea del nuevo torneo es incluir a todos los clubes que son parte de la Liga MX y todos los que componen la MLS.
Víctor Manuel Vucetich no es más el entrenador de las Chivas de Guadalajara. La noticia cayó el mediodía de hoy después del triunfo del Rebaño Sagrado sobre Pachuca, en la Jornada 9 del Apertura 2021, y a una semana del clásico ante América.
Sí, leíste bien: el técnico fue cesado después de ganar.
