Northern Ireland host Hungary in an UEFA Nations League B encounter. Here’s how you can secure your tickets

Paris Saint-Germain talisman Khvicha Kvaratskhelia has admitted to feeling immense pride after being compared to footballing icon George Best following his inclusion on the Ballon d'Or shortlist. The Georgian international, who has enjoyed a meteoric rise at the Parc des Princes, is widely considered one of the leading contenders for the prestigious award.

Four nations made debuts at the 2026 World Cup, with Cape Verde, Curacao, Jordan and Uzbekistan gracing the grandest stage in international football for the first time. It was the tournament with the most newcomers since 2006 and Cape Verde achieved the feat of ending a 16-year wait for a debutant to reach the knockout stages, before succumbing to Lionel Messi's Argentina in a classic.

Northern Ireland and Blackburn Rovers manager Michael O'Neill has provoked a fierce backlash from Championship relegation rivals.
