 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.

 Gunmen shoot at soccer field in central Mexico, killing 11 and injuring 12

 Gunmen opened fire at a soccer field in central Mexico on Sunday, killing at least 11 people and injuring 12 others, officials reported.

Salamanca Mayor Cesar Prieto said the attackers arrived at the end of a soccer match. Ten victims died at the scene, and another died later at a hospital. Among the wounded were a woman and a minor. Prieto described the shooting as part of a broader “crime wave” in the city and called on President Claudia Sheinbaum for federal assistance to curb the violence.

The Guanajuato state prosecutor’s office said it is investigating the attack and coordinating with federal authorities to strengthen security in the region. Guanajuato recorded the highest number of homicides in Mexico last year, fueled by ongoing clashes between the local Santa Rosa de Lima gang and the powerful Jalisco New Generation Cartel.

“Unfortunately, there are criminal groups trying to subjugate authorities, something they are not going to achieve,” Prieto said. Despite the violence, Mexico’s government reported that the nation’s murder rate in 2025 was the lowest since 2016 at 17.5 per 100,000 inhabitants, though analysts caution that official figures may not capture the full scope of the country’s criminal activity.
