Time for a rethink
Gianni Infantino has confirmed FIFA will review the format of the 2026 World Cup.
The tournament in the USA, Canada and Mexico is due to consist of 16 three-team groups, with the top two from each progressing to the knockout phase.
But FIFA president Infantino, 52, said: “I have to say after this World Cup, and the success of the groups of four, we have to revisit or rediscuss the format whether we go for 16 groups of three or 12 groups of four.”
All change
Manchester United are in the market for a new shirt sponsorship deal after agreeing to end their tie-up with TeamViewer.
The German company, who signed a five-year contract to replace Chevrolet in March 2021, will keep their name on United’s kits until a replacement is found.
A club statement said: “After a period of collaborative, private discussions over the past months, Manchester United and TeamViewer AG have reached a mutually-beneficial agreement under which Manchester United shall have the option to buy back the rights to the club’s shirt front sponsorship.
“Having agreed its partnership with TeamViewer at the height of the pandemic, Manchester United will be taking the opportunity to commence a focused sales process for a new shirt front partner in a normalised market.
“Once a new shirt front partner is selected and takes on this role, TeamViewer will continue as a valued member of Manchester United’s suite of global partners, providing remote connectivity solutions, until the end of the original contract term in 2026.”
