Viettel Club decides to impose internal disciplinary action on Que Ngoc Hai.

Van Kien's leg was injured after Ngoc Hai's tackle.

On the afternoon of March 7th, Viettel Football Club issued an internal disciplinary announcement regarding central defender Que Ngoc Hai following the defeat against Hanoi FC on the evening of March 6th: "Que Ngoc Hai will be suspended from playing in Viettel FC's away match against Binh Duong FC (round 4, April 8th at Go Dau Stadium) to review his dangerous tackle on Hanoi FC player Van Kien on the evening of March 6th. Viettel FC aims to build a beautiful, dedicated, and noble style of football.”

The military team also requested that Que Ngoc Hai conduct a self-assessment and learn from his mistakes, both in terms of awareness and professional skills, so that he can both perform his duties well and at the same time be conscious of protecting his colleagues.

Furthermore, speaking to the press, Mr. Vu Xuan Thanh – head of the VFF Disciplinary Committee – said that the committee is awaiting documents from the league's organizing committee before taking further action. It is highly likely that Hai will receive additional retrospective punishment from the VFF.

The UK's overseas affairs agency confirmed it had contacted French authorities about the attack. The fan underwent emergency surgery at the Georges Pompidou European Hospital in Paris after being stabbed in the chest.

According to reports, the fan who was stabbed after watching the match had taken a taxi with three friends to head towards central Paris to celebrate with others. However, the taxi driver became angry when the passengers sang loudly and asked them to get out of the car. During the argument, the driver pulled out a knife and threatened a female passenger, who reportedly took the stab wound to protect her.

Roma sacked coach Di Francesco.

Immediately after AS Roma were eliminated from the 2018/19 Champions League in the round of 16, the club's management decided to sack coach Eusebio Di Francesco.

On the club's official website, Roma confirmed that coach Di Francesco will not be continuing in his role: "Roma announces that coach Di Francesco has left the club. We would like to thank him for everything he has done for Roma. We wish him good luck and much success in the future."

According to Italian media, Claudio Ranieri, the coach recently sacked by Fulham, is the leading candidate for the new manager position at Roma.

Messi officially returns to the Argentina national team.

Since Argentina's bitter defeat at the 2018 World Cup, Lionel Messi has refused to be called up to the national team.

At a press conference ahead of the friendly matches against Venezuela and Morocco, coach Scaloni confirmed Messi's return to the Albicelestes. "Messi has been called up. We will decide whether he will play one or two matches."

Scaloni called up Messi but left out his close friend Sergio Aguero and Chelsea striker Gonzalo Higuain. Mauro Icardi, who is currently having problems at Inter, was also not included in the list.

Fellaini retires from the Belgian national team.

At the age of 31, midfielder Marouane Fellaini officially bid farewell to the Belgian national team. "I feel it's time for me to stop, to give the younger generation a chance to continue this successful period in Belgian football history," Fellaini said about his retirement from international football.

Fellaini made his debut for the Belgian national team in a match against Morocco in 2007. To date, Fellaini has played 87 matches for the national team, including two World Cups, scoring 18 goals. Fellaini's most impressive achievement with Belgium was finishing third at the 2018 World Cup in Russia.

The 2022 World Cup could have 48 teams and 3 host nations.

Recently, FIFA has taken steps to expand the number of teams participating in the 2022 World Cup in Qatar to 48, with two additional co-hosting countries: Oman and Kuwait.

According to the original plan, the 48-team World Cup finals would be implemented in 2026 and would include three countries: Canada, the United States, and Mexico. However, recently, the world's most powerful football governing body wants to make changes starting from the 2022 World Cup finals.

According to the plan currently under consideration, most matches will still be held in Qatar – which qualified for the 32-team event. The remaining matches will be held in Kuwait and Oman as part of the Middle Eastern World Cup plan.

FIFA's original plan was for the 2026 World Cup to be the first to feature 48 teams and three co-hosting nations.

Infantino also stated that the ongoing diplomatic boycott of Qatar by the Gulf Arab states is a major obstacle to co-hosting the World Cup, but he will find a way to implement this plan.

The final decision on this idea is expected to be announced next week when the FIFA council meets in Miami, before Infantino postpones it until June when FIFA's annual council meeting is held and the FIFA president is elected. If Qatar agrees to this change, Infantino will need the support of the 211 member federations.
