 Dutch referee Rob Dieperink dies weeks after removal from World Cup officiating list Dutch referee Rob Dieperink has died at the age of 38, weeks after FIFA removed him from its list of officials for the World Cup. The Dutch Football Association (KNVB) confirmed his death in a statement, saying it was “shocked and deeply saddened” by the news. His cause of death has not been disclosed. Dieperink was arrested in April by the Metropolitan Police in the United Kingdom following a report of an alleged sexual assault involving a teenage boy in London. A Metropolitan Police spokesperson said officers responded on April 9 to a report of sexual assault at an address in Croydon and arrested a man in his 30s on suspicion of the offence.

MAN UTD ANNOUNCE RECORD REVENUE DESPITE POOR PERFORMANCE ON-PITCH. (PHOTO).


 Man Utd announce record revenue despite poor performance on-pitch. 


Manchester United earned record financial revenue of £666.5m last year despite the poor on-pitch performance of their men's team. United finished 15th in the Premier League last season, their worst placing since the 1973-74 relegation campaign.


However, the start of their five-year front-of-shirt sponsorship deal with Snapdragon enabled them to post record commercial revenue of £333.3m, while matchday revenue was also a record at £160.3m in the year to 30 June 2025. "To have generated record revenues during such a challenging year for the club demonstrates the resilience which is a hallmark of Manchester United," said chief executive Omar Berrada. "As we settle into the 2025-26 season, we are working hard to improve the club in all areas."


Berrada did not reference United's poor start to the current campaign but says United are building "for the long term". An overall loss of £33m represents a 70.8% reduction on the previous year, when the figure was £113.2m. United say they "remain committed to, and in compliance with, both the Premier League's Profit and Sustainability Rules and Uefa's's Financial Fair Play Regulations". 


In January Deloitte ranked United as having the fourth highest revenue in world football, based on the club's earnings of £651m from the previous year. Real Madrid (£883m) were in first place, followed by Manchester City (£708m) and Paris St-Germain (£681m).
