Local soccer team made up entirely of transgender men Obtained federation status in Spainbecoming Europe’s first all-trans team.
Hugo Martinez told Reuters. He started forming the team three years ago after facing insults and threats from players, coaches and parents of his former teams. After starting hormone treatment, she was unable to continue as an all-female team and was barred from joining the men’s team without officially updated identification, so she suggested forming a new team over an online phone call. I made a post.
Now named Phoenix FC, a symbol of change and rebirth, the team is part of a local club in northeastern Spain and competes in the country’s fifth tier. Team captain Luke Ibanez told Reuters that joining Phoenix has alleviated his previous hesitations about joining other men’s teams.
“Phoenix is a transgender team built entirely by transgender boys, but I think it’s much more than that. It’s a family, it’s a safe space, it’s a place where you’re free and can express yourself however you want. ,” Ibanez said.
Phoenix is based in Catalonia, where 302 incidents of anti-LGBTQ+ discrimination and violence were recorded in 2023. In the same year, Spain passed a law called “Lei Trans,” which allows people to change their legal gender, with various restrictions based on age.

Cyclist Lachlan Morton Completed a trip around Australia After 30 days, 9 hours and 59 minutes, he broke the previous record by one week.
The Australian Road Records Association considers the official challenge of ‘The Lap’ to be at least 14,200 kilometers and requires passing through Adelaide, Brisbane, Broome, Darwin, Esperance, Melbourne, Perth and Sydney. Since Arthur Richardson made the 245-day journey in 1899, dozens of others have attempted it, with the latest record set in 2011.
Morton’s journey covered more than 8,800 miles, cycling 17 to 18 hours per day. Forced to face rain, headwinds, and extreme temperatures, he started his day at midnight to avoid the heat and traffic jams, and usually slept around 5 p.m. This is another factor Morton cited as a challenge.
Accompanied by his wife, childhood coach, masseuse and bike mechanic, Morton’s journey was documented by his professional cycling team, EF Education-EasyPost. In 30 days, he raised approximately $90,000 for the Indigenous Literacy Foundation to provide resources to children living in remote areas, especially those visited during his travels.
“We felt it was a good fit to work with an organization that helps children deal with these unique challenges.” Mr Morton told the Guardian.. “Everyone has the right to a good education.”

Manchester City has sued the league, claiming that the league’s associate party transaction rules violate competition and public law and are unfairly applied to certain clubs.

I put it down. The league then issued a statement declaring that the court:Overall they supported the need for an APT system and rejected most of Manchester City’s challenges.”
“If you want to call it an impasse.” Sports lawyer Yasin Patel told the BBC.. “Eventually, we’re both going to walk away from here thinking we’ve both had a little nosebleed.”
