Birmingham Brummies speedway will close its doors at the end of the 2025 season, as redevelopment of its home stadium looms.

The 42nd "Baidui Cup" Football Tournament kicked off in the rain on August 8th. bringing a refreshing coolness of summer to the young players which, once again, ignited a football fever in Beijing - the "Dual Olympic City".

Sport 4 Life UK, a leading sport-for-development charity delivering life changing programmes to young people, has announced the appointment of three new trustees to its Board: Carolyn Keenan, Gurdeep Boparai, and Chris Sharman.

History has been made as Ashvir Singh Johal becomes the first Sikh to manage a professional British club, as he has been appointed to lead Morecambe back into the Englsh Football League.

And, with that, the 30-year-old also becomes the youngest manager in the top five tiers of English football, after the Shrimps were taken over by the Panjab Warriors consortium, ending a lengthy period of uncertainty for the National League club. Johal, who has never managed a first-team side, replaces Derek Adams, who was sacked on Monday - having previously worked under Kolo Toure at Wigan and as an assistant to Cesc Fabregas during his time with the youth team at Italian side Como.

Earlier this summer, Johal also became one of the youngest coaches in the history of English football to complete his Uefa Pro Licence qualification. Prior to his move into senior football with Wigan in 2022, he spent 10 years in various roles in Leicester City's academy.

In a previous interview, Johal said: "I have been fortunate to work with and learn from some incredible people, and I'm especially grateful to Kolo and Cesc.

"I know what world-class standards look like, how to lead with clarity, and how to develop a team with a real identity. We will create an environment that brings the best out of people, that people want to be part of, and that drives people to improve every day."

Morecambe had their opening fixtures postponed after the National League suspended them over a failure to comply with the league's rules. They are scheduled to play Altrincham on Saturday in what would be their first competitive match since being relegated from League Two in May.

However, it is understood that the club currently have just five contracted players and that, as of Tuesday morning, they are not insured to train so a postponement of that game is possible.

The press conference for 2025 International Federation of Sport Climbing (IFSC) Asian Youth Championships was held at Guizhou Provincial Sports Bureau, announcing that the tournament will be held from August 20th to 24th at Guizhou Caihu International Climbing Centre in Guanshanhu Park, Guiyang City.

The team of 18 talented divers secured an impressive haul of four gold, three silver and one bronze medal, plus nine Top 5 and 13 Top 10 finishes, which is all the more remarkable given Sandwell Diving is the newest club nationally, having only started a competitive team 18 months ago.
