Arsenal captain Martin Odegaard insists the Gunners still believe in their Premier League title hopes despite a damaging 2–1 defeat to Man City.

Odegaard said the match was decided by fine margins and poor finishing, after Erling Haaland scored the winner to hand City a crucial victory.

He stressed Arsenal will stay focused, shut out the noise and aim to bounce back in their next league game as the title race intensifies.

The Sultan of Selangor has proposed that SUKMA be postponed until the crisis in West Asia is resolved and the Shah Alam Stadium is fully completed, citing high costs.

He also ordered the cancellation of the 2026 Sultan of Selangor Cup, but suggested organising an under-15 football tournament to nurture grassroots talent and sportsmanship. 

Former FAM acting president Datuk Yusoff Mahadi says the FA of Malaysia presidency is not an experiment, but a huge responsibility that demands clear plans, strong leadership and sustained funding.  

He warns candidates must be mentally tough to withstand political uncertainty and intense public scrutiny, as speculation over the next FAM chief continues ahead of the upcoming congress.
