Today was the first ever #WorldFootballDay, marking 100 years since the first international football tournament featuring every region represented 🌏🗺️⚽ The game we all love transcends boundaries to promote unity, solidarity and respect among people of all ages, cultures and backgrounds. It develops communities, strengthens connections, and is the language we all speak. From us at OFC to you, whether you were just playing with your friends, winning the Champions League, or developing your community, how did you celebrate?

Unlocking the Potential of International Football Academies! ⚽ Having the opportunity to work closely with Villarreal CF's International Office, I've gained valuable insights into the dynamic world of international football academies. From Spain's La Liga to England's Premier League, clubs are increasingly recognizing the immense benefits of nurturing talent beyond borders. International football academies not only serve as breeding grounds for future stars but also play a crucial role in expanding a club's global reach and engaging with fans worldwide. Whether it's through showcasing player highlights, training sessions, or community initiatives, these academies are making significant strides in connecting with diverse audiences. Beyond talent development, international football academies also serve as ambassadors for their respective clubs, spreading the values of the game and fostering a sense of community among fans worldwide. 🌍 #Footballacademies #Globalreach #Fanengagement #VillarrealCF #Footballbusiness

This is HUGE news! As much as I believe that the move to professionalization is needed to move the sport forward, the lack of clubs within certain areas/regions is concerning. As someone who is involved in netball in Scotland, I fear this could have huge implications. Not only at an elite level, but particularly at grassroots, through player pathways, and for umpires and coaches. I am excited to see what the new era of netball brings, however I do hope there are plans in the near future to ensure that the Super League is accessible for and representative of the whole of the UK (including Scotland, NI, the South West, etc). #NetballSuperLeague #SportDevelopment

An inspiring display of sportsmanship can transcend the outcome of a football match. While only one team can progress in the competition, the respect and appreciation between the players, their supporters, and nations can indeed endure. Competitive sports, especially football, have a unique way of bringing people together, fostering unity, and creating mutual respect among diverse populations. Celebrating athletic prowess, teamwork, and shared passion for the game, these elements often remain long after the final whistle has blown. Regardless of the high stakes, the acknowledgment that teams and their supporters maintain respect and appreciation for one another is a testament to the positive values that sports can represent. Let's take a moment to recognize the spirit of sportsmanship and the power of football to unite us all. #Sportsmanship #Football #Unity #Respect #PositiveValues

The National Rugby League's inaugural Las Vegas Round attracted over 40,000 fans and showcased rugby league to Americans audiences. This historic event has built the foundations for the NRL to enter the most lucrative sports market in the world. But what should happen next? And how can the NRL use this platform to strengthen the code globally? Capturing attention as a once-off and generating a lasting interest are two different things. Research demonstrates how preferences for sports are formed when they are perceived to satisfy certain wants and needs. In order to capitalise on this opportunity and make the US expedition a success, the NRL should focus on awareness, celebrity involvement, American ownership, and expanding the women's game says Dr Jason Doyle.
