Is there life outside the World Cup? Five stories this Sunday

As World Cup 2026 rolls around, club football is still alive — and here are five stories that could shape the conversation this Sunday.

1. Arbeloa to the Premier League According to Fabrizio Romano, it has been agreed that Arbeloa will return to the Fulham dugout and is just waiting for official confirmation from the team. This is said to be his first full-time experience as a coach since he left Real Madrid.

2. Madrid wants to participate for Cucurella Atlético and Barcelona had previously shown interest in Marc Cucurella, but Real Madrid also entered the chase and changed the landscape. According to journalist Nico Schira, the same is happening in this matter—the dynamics of the transfer become more complicated due to the entry of Madrid.

1. Málaga and Almería will start the big match The first leg of the promotion final for promotion to the Primera División opens tonight at La Rosaleda. A hot sign of excitement in Andalusia—a match that will heighten the cheers and tensions with the World Cup on the other continent.

2. Doctor of Promotion: the route of Miguel Marí Marca reports the rise of Miguel Marí—a coach who was promoted from Segunda to Primera RFEF almost consecutively. He achieved promotion with Intercity (21-22), Hércules (23-24), Teruel (24-25) and UD Logroñés (25-26). If your team is having trouble moving up the division, it looks like he has a solution.

3. More football besides the World Cup No missing club action tonight: Málaga vs Almería — kick-off at 21:00. For hardcore fans and coffee-lovers, it's enough to keep the heart awake while the national teams play in the Mundial.

A reminder: all the above reports are based on the sources mentioned (Fabrizio Romano, Nico Schira, Marca) and official confirmation is still awaited on some news such as Arbeloa's appointment.
