Football Daily

Eleanor Oldroyd is joined by BBC Chief Football News Reporter Simon Stone, The Athletic’s Adam Crafton and ESPN’s Julien Laurens as UEFA and its 55 member associations take the extraordinary step of threatening to boycott every FIFA competition if Gianni Infantino proceeds with plans to sell ownership stakes in the World Cup and other tournaments to private investors.
We hear UEFA’s powerful statement declaring the World Cup “not for sale”, reaction from home nations and CONCACAF, and speak live to UEFA vice-president Laura McAllister who was in the room for the vote. Plus thoughts from former FA executive director David Davies and discussion of the immediate threat to upcoming tournaments - including the U20 Women’s World Cup in Poland that starts in five weeks, for which England have already qualified.

John Bennett presents reaction to Eddie Howe's departure from Newcastle United, just three weeks out from the new Premier League campaign.
He's joined by the Daily Telegraph's Luke Edwards to discuss why exactly Howe has chosen to leave, and what his legacy at the club will be.
Newcastle fan Samantha Rees tells us of her shock at Howe's departure. And we hear all about the frontrunner to replace Howe, Matthias Jaissle, from German football writer Constantin Eckner.

Plus, what could this potential scheme mean for supporters?

This week, former Stoke City, Chelsea, Everton and Bosnia-Herzegovina goalkeeper Asmir Begović submits three stories from his career.
Did Stoke manager Tony Pulis really invite Begović to date his daughter with the hope that he might one day become his son-in-law? Did Liverpool boss Brendan Rodgers secretly call him into an office at Anfield to discuss a transfer immediately after a Premier League match? Or did Rafa Benítez shorten a proposed Everton contract because he was convinced Begović enjoyed too many nights out?
Armed with photographs, football knowledge and plenty of confidence, Karel and Anita dissect every detail before Begović returns to reveal the truth.
Karel Prince: Lie Detector is presented by Karel Prince and Anita Abayomi and is a Sport Social Studios production for BBC Sounds.

We'd like to introduce you to the first episode of 'Sports Strangest Crimes Presents: Shadows On The Pitch'. Throughout the series, James Montague investigates a startling conspiracy theory put forward by the Iraqi football federation in the 90s - that America influenced a World Cup qualifying tournament to save USA '94 from its so-called enemies.
In this opening episode, a former referee with a cryptic message may hold the key to unraveling the mystery. Can he help James uncover the truth behind the alleged conspiracy surrounding the build-up to the 1994 World Cup? James travels to Bucharest in search of answers.
