AFP |
Just like every Sunday, we whet your appetite with a preview of what you will be able to enjoy on FIFA.com in the coming days.
Following last week's draw for the group stage of the Men's and Women's Olympic Football Tournaments Rio 2016, FIFA.com will be continuing to spread the Olympic fever through exclusive interviews with some big names who have a place in the event's history, as well as with players who will be looking to leave their mark in Brazil this summer.
Where blasts from the past are concerned, former Nigerian international Daniel Amokachi, who featured at two FIFA World Cups™, will be reminiscing about his country's victorious campaign at Atlanta 1996, while Anatoly Byshovets will give his take on guiding USSR to gold from the dugout in 1988.
Looking ahead to the future, meanwhile, you can catch up with Roger Martinez, whose brace against USA in the play-offs booked Colombia's spot at Rio, and Kwon Changhoon, who is hoping to be on the plane to Brazil with Korea Republic.
Speaking of the female game, we will round up all the latest action at club level, looking at the most intriguing story lines from around the globe.
We have several other must-read exclusive interviews lined up for you, including one with Vincent Janssen, the top scorer in this season's Dutch Eredivisie and one of the most promising youngsters around on the Oranje scene right now. Dario Lezcano, the 25-year-old Paraguayan forward who is shining for his country this term, Welsh international Simon Church and Congo's Prince Oniangue will all also be talking shop.
Also this week, we will be setting sail for the Caribbean, where the islands of St. Kitts and Nevis have been making waves in the FIFA/Coca-Cola World Ranking, and keeping a close watch on the CAF, CONCACAF and AFC Champions Leagues, in which qualification for this year's FIFA Club World Cup is on the line.
And, of course, all our regular features will be back again, including the quotes of the week, the best stats and the lowdown on the football personalities who are gearing up to blow out their birthday candles. Have a great week on FIFA.com.
