Qatar's goalkeeper Mahmoud Abunada has developed into a key figure for Qatar team, earning trust through steady performances and growing maturity between the posts. Qatar goalkeeper Mahmoud Abunada has described his road to the FIFA World Cup 2026 as a deeply personal journey shaped by loss and resilience, as he prepares to lead his country’s challenge on football’s biggest stage.The 26-year-old revealed that the death of his father last year marked a turning point in his life and career, adding emotional weight to his rise in the national setup.“Maybe the stage I have reached today is thanks to my parents’ prayers,” he said. “My father, may Allah have mercy on him, passed away last year. I wish he could be with me in these moments.”Despite the grief, Abunada has continued to progress steadily. He still recalls his first senior call-up in 2020, when he was 20 years old and learned of his inclusion while sitting with his family.“I remember my first call up in 2020. I was 20 years old. My family and I were sitting together when suddenly the squad list was posted on social media. It was an indescribable feeling,” he said. “Representing the national team is a major milestone in my career.”Since then, Abunada has developed into a key figure for Qatar team, earning trust through steady performances and growing maturity between the posts. Mahmud Abunada revealed that the death of his father last

Tony Popovic, head coach of Australia, shakes hands with referee Ekaterina Koroleva after the international friendly against Switzerland at Snapdragon Stadium on June 06, 2026 in San Diego, California. (AFP) Australia coach Tony Popovic said he was confident he side could "punch above our weight" at the World Cup after a battling 1-1 draw with Switzerland on Saturday.Dan Ndoye opened the scoring for the Swiss in the 14th minute at San Diego before Australia debutant Tete Yengi levelled in the second half.It was the final warm-up for both sides for the World Cup, which begins on Thursday.Popovic named an experimental starting side, with seven changes from Australia's 1-0 defeat to Mexico last week, before reverting to a likely first-choice line-up for the second-half."I'm just happy. We've got no injuries. We've got through the game," Popovic said."We got a result, that always helps and we scored a very nice goal. We need to start better, of course, next week, that will help us." SIXTH SUCCESSIVE WORLD CUP FOR AUSTRALIAAustralia, who are at their sixth successive World Cup, are in Group D alongside Turkey, co-hosts the United States and Paraguay.The Swiss are pitted with Qatar, Bosnia-Herzegovina and co-hosts Canada in Group B.Popovic said he was encouraged by holding a near full-strength Swiss side ranked eight places above them at 19th and believes his youthful team can make it through to the knockout rounds."If you ask every Australian, they expect to be right at the end because we always feel that we can punch above our weight," he said."We've proven that time and time again in all sports, and we've done it in football. So we've shown what we can do."In Qatar four years ago, Australia made it through the group phase and gave eventual champions Argentina a scare in the last 16 before going out to a brave 2-1 defeat orchestrated by Lionel Messi."We want to go through, and that's the challenge that we have," added Popovic. "We want it to be a knockout stage where we know anything is possible."But if we peel it back, there's a lot of work to do until then, and we've got a really tough group, but I'd like to think that our opponents will see us as a tough task as well."Australia open their World Cup against Turkey in Vancouver on June 13, while the Swiss kick off against Qatar in San Francisco on the same day.

Germany's Alexander Zverev poses for a photograph with Roland Garros staff and his trophy as he celebrates winning the French Open final against Italy's Flavio Cobolli in Paris on Sunday. (Reuters) After trying for over a decade to win a Grand Slam and overcoming an array of challenges, Alexander Zverev finally achieved his major breakthrough at the French Open."Now finally it's a happy end," said Zverev after battling past Italy's Flavio Cobolli in five sets in Sunday's Roland Garros final."We've been losers at times... but at the end of the day we're Grand Slam champions now and that's what counts."The 6ft 6ins (1.98m) German had been destined for the top from a young age, hailing from a tennis family where his mother and father both played the sport to a high level in the former Soviet Union."For me, my family is everything and I owe them a lot for helping me to become the tennis player that I am today," the 29-year-old, who had often been considered the sport's most unfulfilled talent, previously said."They both worked extremely hard and taught my brother (Mischa) and me everything we know," added Zverev.He has been through the grinder on his way to the top, living with diabetes, dealing with a serious ankle injury and having allegations that he assaulted an ex-girlfriend splashed across the world's newspapers.The court case was dropped in 2024 after a settlement was agreed hours before he was due to play in the French Open semi-finals.He strenuously denied the allegations.Known by his nickname "Sascha", Zverev's greatest achievement prior to the 2026 French Open was winning gold at the Covid-hit Tokyo Olympics.It was the first time a German had clinched the men's singles title, stunning heavy favourite Novak Djokovic before taking down Karen Khachanov in the final."There is nothing better than this," he said at the time.Born in Hamburg in 1997 to Russian parents, Zverev was exposed to tennis from an early age through his mother Irina and father Alexander, who remains his coach.They moved to Germany after the collapse of the Soviet Union, where they began training their son.His talent quickly became evident, winning the boys' singles tournament at the 2014 Australian Open and becoming junior world number one.He broke into the senior ranks and was named the 2015 ATP Newcomer of the Year. By the time he was 20, he was in the world's top three. HIGHS AND LOWSZverev, who idolised Roger Federer growing up, made his first Grand Slam final in 2020 at the US Open, agonisingly losing in five sets to Dominic Thiem after being 2-0 up."That was exactly the time when I had real struggles with my serve and my second serve," he said of that match."I knew that my serve could break down at any moment. That's one difference that I do feel now, luckily for me."His seemingly unstoppable rise was temporarily halted when he tore ankle ligaments while playing Rafael Nadal in the Roland Garros semis two years later and he underwent surgery.Returning in January 2023, Zverev captured a 20th career title in Hamburg before having a fine 2024 season, in which he powered into the French Open final and surged to world number two, dispelling concerns that he was mentally frail."In the life of a professional athlete you will have the highest highs and the lowest lows," said Zverev."Getting caught up in the lows is the biggest mistake that you can make."You shouldn't try to evaluate everything when times are tough, you should try to find ways to get better when you're on a high."A third Grand Slam final defeat followed at the 2025 Australian Open, in straight sets by Jannik Sinner.Doubts about whether or not he would break his Grand Slam duck resurfaced as Sinner and Alcaraz dominated men's tennis by winning nine consecutive majors between them.However, Zverev finally fulfilled his major dreams after taking advantage of Alcaraz's injury absence at Roland Garros and Sinner's shock second-round exit.Zverev has suffered from diabetes since he was four and created the Alexander Zverev Foundation in 2022 to support children with the condition and provide medication for those in developing countries.An avid football and basketball fan, his older brother Mischa also played on the ATP Tour.
