Euro Football Highlights

The Euro 2025 tournament is delivering drama by the minute. Spain’s Aitana Bonmati scored a last‑minute winner against Germany, sending La Roja to their first final ever. The goal came after a defensive slip that left Germany scrambling, and fans are already buzzing about who will lift the trophy.

Club transfers keep the market hot too. Al Nassr walked away from a €65 million bid for Brighton’s Kaoru Mitoma after the English club refused to sell. The move shows how European teams are protecting their talent despite big money offers.

In Finland, former foreign minister Erkki Tuomioja warned that U.S. policy could jeopardize Finnish security if it mirrors past approaches toward Ukraine. His call for stronger NATO cooperation highlights growing concerns about regional defense.

Back in Africa, Nigerian activists are urging President Tinubu to rename the INEC headquarters after election hero Humphrey Nwosu.
