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...

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...

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...
