What an incredible touch! Nice work @FCBayern 👏
73 balls. London. One golden moment. We drove the balls representing Harry Kane’s goals for club and country to London, gifting them to former teammates, people from his hometown, and the places that shaped his journey – from the streets where he grew up to his former clubs, as well as the heart of London City. All leading up to one golden moment last night. Harry, we’re incredibly proud of you. Here’s to everything we’ve achieved together – and everything still to come. ❤️🤍

Now that's something to celebrate. A powerful initiative shining a light on @alzheimerssoc and the impact of football beyond the pitch. Some things only this game can do. ⚽️✨
An incredible moment ❤️ 22 fans living with dementia walking out at Wembley alongside the #ThreeLions and @cymru.

Terribly sad to hear about the passing of Doris Fitschen. A true legend of women’s football, whose passion and dedication shaped the game in Germany. Her impact will be felt for generations. Rest in peace, Doris. dfb.de/news/dfb-trauert-um-d…
