Upington City Overview

For some football fans, the summer is the part of the calendar that they look forward to the most - and that's not just because it's filled by a World Cup every four years! Rather, it's because the end of the season means only one thing: It's time for transfers! The 2026 window is once again proving to be busy, with some huge names making big-money moves before deadline day on September 1.

Fabian Hurzeler praised Brighton's professional approach after a commanding 4-0 second-leg victory over Tromso at the Amex Stadium sealed their place in the UEFA Conference League group phase. Charalampos Kostoulas, Maxim De Cuyper, Mats Wieffer, and Olivier Boscagli all struck as the Seagulls emphatically banished memories of a goalless first leg.

Brighton have raised more than £600 million ($814m) from sales in recent years, but Mark McGhee has explained to GOAL why the Seagulls are not a selling club - at least not through choice. The likes of Moises Caicedo, Marc Cucurella, Leandro Trossard, Yves Bissouma, Alexis Mac Allister and Carlos Baleba have all departed the Amex Stadium.

Fabian Hurzeler is younger than some Premier League players, with Mark McGhee telling GOAL why the “ageless” 33-year-old is “only going to get better” as he follows in illustrious footsteps at Brighton. The Seagulls have seen the likes of Graham Potter and Roberto De Zerbi pass through their dugout before going on to land prestigious Premier League posts.
