The NBA has announced that the New Orleans Pelicans will play two preseason games in Melbourne, Australia. They will face Melbourne United on October 3, 2025, and South East Melbourne Phoenix on October 5, 2025, at the Rod Laver Arena. These games will feature stars like Zion Williamson, Dejounte Murray, and CJ McCollum. David Griffin, the Pelicans’ Executive Vice President of Basketball Operations, confirmed the team’s full participation, emphasizing the significance of these games. Tickets will be on sale at a later date, with pre-sales registration options. Close to £2 billion and featuring a 100,000 seating capacity, Manchester United’s plan is to move on from Old Trafford to make a new stadium. This, according to co-owner Sir Jim Ratcliffe, would create a kind of experience not less than special. The women’s team, introduced in 2018 and currently playing at 12,000-capacity Leigh Sports Village, will also be housed in that new stadium. According to club COO Collette Roche, they would utilize technology to create a more friendly-aftermath suitable for smaller crowds. It followed a long consideration of financial resources to redevelop or rebuild Old Trafford. In a remarkable and never-before-achieved feat in Australian athletics, 17-year-old sprinting prodigy Gout Gout strives to go beyond the 10-second mark for the 100 meters and 20 seconds for the 200 meters back-to-back at the Queensland titles. His personal best of 10.17 seconds in the 100 meters and 20.04 seconds in the 200 meters hopefully spells something extraordinary in the 2025 competition. The sprinter hopes for favorable weather conditions, which he needs to accomplish that slight edge. The 29-year-old versatile player began his career with the Houston Texans as a second-round pick in 2019 and has also played for the Tennessee Titans and New Orleans Saints. During his NFL Career, Johnson has made 199 total tackles, 15 passes defended, and four interceptions while appearing in 83 regular-season games starting in 20 of them. In his year with the Panthers, Johnson contributed primarily on special teams and is expected to have a similar role with the Raiders, who will add veteran depth in safety and may line up at cornerback. The signing of safety Jeremy Chinn with the Raiders highlights their pledge to bolster their defense.
