FC Barcelone – Rayo Vallecano : sur quelles chaînes TV suivre le match en direct ?

Le FC Barcelone accueille le Rayo Vallecano ce lundi 31 août au Camp Nou, pour le compte de la troisième journée de Liga. Après deux victoires en autant de rencontres, les Blaugranas veulent poursuivre leur sans-faute et conserver leur fauteuil de leader.

Le champion d’Espagne a parfaitement lancé sa saison. Après avoir écrasé Elche (5-0) lors de la première journée, le Barça a confirmé quelques jours plus tard face à l’Athletic Bilbao (2-0). Une nouvelle victoire au cours de laquelle Raphinha, promu capitaine cette saison, a encore fait parler de lui en inscrivant son quatrième but en championnat. La rencontre a également été marquée par les premiers pas de Rodri sous ses nouvelles couleurs devant les supporters catalans. Face au Rayo, les hommes de Hansi Flick auront désormais l’occasion de poursuivre cette dynamique et de creuser leur avance en tête de la Liga. mieszalniakolorado.pl

Le Rayo Vallecano veut déjouer les pronostics

En face, le début de saison est beaucoup plus compliqué. Le Rayo Vallecano n’a pris qu’un point lors de ses deux premières journées, avec une défaite contre le FC Séville (2-1) suivie d’un nul face au Deportivo Alavés (1-1). Les joueurs de Beñat San José se déplacent donc à Barcelone avec l’objectif de décrocher leur premier succès de la saison, même si la mission s’annonce particulièrement difficile face à un Barça en pleine confiance.

Le coup d’envoi de FC Barcelone – Rayo Vallecano sera donné ce lundi 31 août à 21h30 (UTC+2) au Camp Nou. La rencontre sera à suivre en direct sur DAZN et Disney+.

Bumper cash reward awaits Police Bullets as they chase Champions League glory in Kigali

NAIROBI, Kenya, August 31, 2026 – Should they make history as the second Kenyan side to reach the Caf Women’s Champions League, Police Bullets will not merely return home with a trophy from the Cecafa qualifiers.

Each of the players could well be smiling to the bank thanks to a handsome financial reward from the club’s management.

While visiting the team at their training base in Kigali on Sunday, the club chair Nyale Munga promised a Ksh 2 million reward as well as individual goodies for players who stand out in the final against Kawempe Muslim Ladies from Uganda.

“Tomorrow, I will be here and I am sure I will entertain myself and then after that many things will come your way. I understand that my SG (secretary general) had already assured you that when you win he is going to give you Ksh 2 million. He had actually hinted to me and I accepted that,” Munga said.

The supremo promised that should the team keep a clean sheet, then goalkeeper Annedy Kundu will be in for a big surprise as will be her teammates who will get on the scoreboard.

“There is something for you, if you manage to keep a clean sheet. I don’t know if you will share it with your defenders. There will be something too for the attackers if they score,” he said.

A rapturous reception awaits the law enforcers beginning with a red carpet welcome at the Jomo Kenyatta International Airport (JKIA) on Tuesday morning, culminating in a royal breakfast at the Serena Hotel — where club patron, and Interior Principal Secretary Raymond Omollo, is expected as the chief guest.

“We will be received by some traditional dancers and red carpet at JKIA and then after that we go straight to see the deputy patron and then we walk along Harambee Avenue with police band to where the patron is. After handing over the trophy to the patron, we will request him to walk with us to Serena,” Munga revealed.

He added: “We’ll go to Serena Hotel for breakfast with the patron and the IG (inspector general) and the deputy patron, the DIG (deputy inspector general) Kenya Police and other invited guests. That is a rare opportunity for a team like us to close all the roads in Nairobi because my girls are walking through to Serena. Don’t deny me that opportunity, please.”

Police Bullets clobbered South Sudan’s Yei Joint Stars 5-0 at the Kigali Pele Stadium on Saturday evening to reach the final.

It is their second time in the final, following on from 2024 when they lost 2-1 to Commercial Bank of Ethiopia (CBE) in Tanzania.

Last year, they fell at the semis, losing 4-2 on post-match penalties to Tanzania’s Jeshi la Kujenga Taifa (JKT) at Nyayo Stadium.

Could 2026 be the year that Bullets finally hit the mark?

The bumper goodies that await them will surely have a huge say in that.

Rassie: Kurt-Lee’s a quality player

Rassie Erasmus welcomed Kurt-Lee Arendse back into the Springbok starting XV for Saturday’s third Test at FNB Stadium in Johannesburg, while explaining the need for continuity.

Erasmus made four changes and one positional switch to the team that beat the All Blacks 33-26 in Cape Town to level the four-match Rugby’s Greatest Rivalry series.

The front row of Ox Nché, Malcolm Marx and Wilco Louw, who were moved to the bench shortly before kick-off in Cape Town, return to the starting lineup. Gerhard Steenekamp, Deon Fourie and Thomas du Toit revert to the bench.

An injury to Damian Willemse sees Cheslin Kolbe shift to fullback and Arendse come onto the right wing.

Arendse was initially included in last week’s team, but dropped out when Kolbe was cleared to play.

TEAM: Kolbe at fullback for Calabash clash

“It was always our plan to have a little more continuity in player combinations for this series,” Erasmus said. “We thought that the players who did the job for us last week really showed composure and did well to stick to the plan.”

Erasmus said Willemse and flyhalf Handré Pollard (calf injury) were both unavailable, making continuity important.

“By sticking to these combinations and making one switch with Cheslin at fullback, we thought it would be the best for this match.

“Kurt-Lee was unlucky not to play last week after Cheslin recovered from his niggle, so we are pleased to see him back. He is a quality player and his 25 tries in 33 matches so far shows the type of player he is.”

Erasmus also explained his decision to revert to the front row originally selected to start the second Test.

“We decided to change our front rows last week due to the weather conditions, and Johannesburg weather is different to Cape Town, so we thought this would be the best decision for us this weekend.

“Gerhard, Thomas and Deon have played massive games for us, and at the same time know how to deal with pressure.”

ALSO: ‘Rassie the Lex Luthor of rugby’

With the series locked at 1-1, Erasmus expects an All Blacks response similar to the one demanded of his own team after their opening defeat at Ellis Park.

“We know how it felt after the first match in Johannesburg, and such a result really galvanises a team,” he said.

“They are one of the two best teams in the world and based on experience, they never give up, as we saw last weekend.

“After two games, we are both into hard Test rugby mode, and we have a good idea of what to expect from one another, so it is going to be another grind of a match.”

MALLETT: All Blacks ‘lucky’ at scrum time

Erasmus expects the stakes to raise the intensity further at the 94,000-capacity FNB Stadium.

“This game is going to be equally, if not more intense than the last two,” he said.

“With the vuvuzelas and passionate crowd there, we can hardly hear one another on the field, so we are all thrilled about this occasion.

“But make no mistake, this is going to be another intense battle between the two top teams in the world who are both looking to get an edge in the series.”

‘Teargas’ appointed Gor Mahia Queens head coach

NAIROBI, Kenya, August 31, 2026 – Former Gor Mahia midfielder Ali ‘Teargas’ Abondo has rejoined the club as head coach of the ladies’ side, Gor Mahia Queens.

In a statement, the FKF Premier League champions announced Abondo’s appointment, following the departure of immediate former head coach Tom Odiyo over the weekend.

“Legend Victor Ali Abondo is back at the club, this time, on the touchline as the new head coach of our ladies’ team, Gor Mahia Queens,” the club said.

Despite playing at a number of clubs, locally and internationally, Abondo enjoys somewhat of a cult status at K’Ogalo.

He earned the moniker ‘Teargas’ after his dismissal in a Mashemeji Derby in 2012 resulted in crowd unrest and running battles between police officers and fans.

Abondo enjoyed a trophy laden career, mostly at Gor with who he won the 2015 Kenya Premier League, 2015 and 2017 Super Cup, 2012 FKF Cup and 2015 Top 8 Cup.

He had previously won another league title in 2011 with Tusker and the 2014 Top 8 Cup to add to another league crown with Sony Sugar in 2006.

Until his appointment, Abondo — a holder of Caf C coaching license — has been nurturing talents at his Ali Abondo Academy.

At K’Ogalo, he will have his work cut out as he attempts to secure a first ever Women’s Premier League qualification for the team.

Gor Mahia Queens narrowly missed out on promotion in the previous season, losing 2-0 to Elim White Ladies in a playoff at the Afraha Stadium in June this year.
