Dafabet is all over English cricket, sponsoring live streams of games watched in India where betting is largely illegal. Great work by @nathanpaulsouthern.bsky.social and Lindsey Kennedy for @josimarfootball.bsky.social @cricketacademic.bsky.social josimarfootball.com/2025/10/29/d...

På denne datoen i 1960 vart Diego Maradona fødd. Seksti år seinare gav @josimarfootball.bsky.social ut Maradona-utgåva, som er omtrent så nær perfeksjon eit tidsskrift om sport kan kome, og som for å skryte var min idé 😎

New. Celtic proudly promotes itself as a football club with a social consciousness. For nine years the club’s main sponsor has been a betting company breaking laws, defrauding customers and wrecking lives. By Nathan Paul Southern and Lindsey Kennedy josimarfootball.com/2025/10/29/d...

The fact that an Afghanistan women's refugee team is now playing in a FIFA-sanctioned tournament is that little glint of light that we all need. It's testament to some incredible, courageous and persistent women who will not let Afghan women be erased from sport. www.aljazeera.com/sports/2025/...

Thank you, @apnews.com, for highlighting the role played by @josimarfootball.bsky.social in highlighting the fraudulent nature of 777 Partners affairs. abcnews.go.com/Sports/wireS...

Sterkt. AP gir @josimarfootball.bsky.social en stor del av æren for at 777-svindelen ble avslørt og at de bla ikke kjøpte Everton. abcnews.go.com/Sports/wireS...

For every twist and turn in this saga, and a real repository of what happened behind the scenes have a look at the back catalogue @josimarfootball.bsky.social has. Vast array of deeply reported stories on 777 and its impact on several teams.

Please allow @josimarfootball.bsky.social, @pbsportswriter.bsky.social and myself a minute of self-congratulation. We wrote a total of 39 articles on 777 Partners' house of cards. It was time well spent. www.nytimes.com/2025/10/16/b...

Uefa is bending over so far backwards to accommodate MCOs that it is now in a position to break the world limbo dancing record. MCOs along with private equity ownership are the two factors that most threaten the future of club football. www.theguardian.com/football/202...

Our (with @ncgeehan.bsky.social) piece on #UEFA/#FIFA's failure to sanction the #Israel Football Association is out @josimarfootball.bsky.social. We argue that they are unethical in the name of neutrality, applying unjustifiable double standards to Russia & Israel, & failing to enforce their rules.

"The volte-face increasingly looks like the last act of a piece of political theatre that allowed UEFA’s senior leadership to signal its support for the people of Gaza, while avoiding taking any action to help them." Read the analysis from @ncgeehan.bsky.social below ⬇️ fairsq.org/uefa-virtue-...

Uefa and Fifa’s failure to sanction the Israel Football Association is a moral and political failure. By @ncgeehan.bsky.social and @antoineduval.bsky.social josimarfootball.com/2025/10/06/m...

Valencias Mestalla er kanskje ikke Spanias vakreste stadion. Den er heller ikke den mest moderne, og langt ifra den mest funksjonelle. Men én ting er sikkert: få steder i fotballens verden bærer på mer sjel. josimar.no/artikler/kat...

Why are migrant workers in Qatar being recruited as cannon-fodder for Russia in Ukraine, and is labour surplus from the 2022 World Cup responsible? Brilliant reporting from @samindrakunti.bsky.social and @bobbyperu.bsky.social in @josimarfootball.bsky.social josimarfootball.com/2025/09/25/t...

Avbrutte kamper, helsefarlig hete, tomme tribuner, lav lokal interesse og smørblide Gianni Infantino og Donald Trump i sentrum av begivenhetene. Klubb-VM var noe for seg selv. josimar.no/artikler/aer...

Menschenverachtend & absurd, wie weltweit mit Menschen umgegangen wird und Putin setzt noch eins drauf. Mir ist übel.

Many migrant workers who came to Qatar to build the 2022 WC infrastructure found themselves jobless after the tournament. @josimarfootball.bsky.social reveals how some of them have been recruited by the Russian army, are fighting and die on the Ukrainian front. josimarfootball.com/2025/09/25/t...

New. For months, the Russian army has secretly recruited hundreds, if not thousands, of jobless migrant workers in Qatar to fight on the frontline against Ukraine. By @samindrakunti.bsky.social and @bobbyperu.bsky.social josimarfootball.com/2025/09/25/t...

Det startet med tanker om en nøktern oppgradering av Nadderud stadion, et anlegg eid av Bærum kommune. Men kostnaden for Stabæks nye stadion ble over 1.1 milliarder skattebetaler-kroner i en kommune som kutter i lovpålagte oppgaver. (Åpen i 24 timer) josimar.no/artikler/kom...

No, the 777 Partners saga is not over, and is just getting wilder and wilder. By @pbsportswriter.bsky.social and myself for @josimarfootball.bsky.social.

Also in here - how Leadenhall is demanding 777 Partners apply search terms in discovery including “sham” “sucker” “dumb” “dipshit” “bankrupt” “loser” and “asshole” - how lawyers for 777 Partners claim they are going unpaid - and what Russell Slade has to do with anything

New. Giacomo Angelini may be the new owner of Standard de Liège but his ‘takeover’ was funded entirely by A-CAP. How is this possible, and what does it mean for the Pro League club? By @pbsportswriter.bsky.social and @philippeauclair.bsky.social josimarfootball.com/2025/09/03/s...

New for @josimarfootball.bsky.social, following an initial investigation by South African media Currency: "Waka Waka", the 2010 WC official song, was a huge hit for Shakira. All proceeds were supposed to go to charity. But where did the money go? josimarfootball.com/2025/08/19/l...

Uefa hevar seg over rettsapparatet i idretten, hevdar dei ikkje er omfatta av menneskerettane, og tyr til gjengjelding mot klubbar som har vunne mot dei i retten. Korleis skal me eigentleg karakterisera ein slik organisasjon? www.ba.no/i-ordboka-fi...

New. The 2010 Fifa World Cup official anthem “Waka Waka” was meant to raise a fortune for African charities, but no money has been forthcoming since 2014. Josimar can tell where some of the missing millions have gone. By @philippeauclair.bsky.social josimarfootball.com/2025/08/19/l...

Norges Bank Investment Management has made several hundred millions dollars on their shares in Evolution.

Why is it that Leicester City FC did not have the name of a sponsor on their jersey when they played against Sheffield Wednesday this weekend? @josimarfootball.bsky.social might have an answer for this. josimarfootball.com/2025/07/21/r...

New. Money-laundering, scamming, cyber slavery compounds and appalling human rights abuses are no obstacles for Premier League clubs looking for betting partners – or the UK regulator. By @philippeauclair.bsky.social josimarfootball.com/2025/07/29/p...

New. Uefa’s integrity partner Sportradar consistently claims that it doesn’t sell data to unlicensed gambling operators. But its annual report states that it generates significant revenue from unlicensed gambling. By @journoandy.bsky.social josimarfootball.com/2025/07/22/b...

New. Leicester were set to unveil their kit for the new season last week, but the announcement was postponed. Was it because their new sponsor KBET is a hitherto unknown – and illegal – online bookmaker? By @philippeauclair.bsky.social josimarfootball.com/2025/07/21/r...
