On July 8, 2025, Dr. Bhakaphum Dechskulrit, board member of Jetsada Technical Museum Foundation, outlined the organization's new-era management direction. The foundation previously relied on a small team of mechanics for vintage car restoration, but has now expanded its workforce and modernized management systems to accommodate growing workload. Future plans include engaging outsourced partners to support organizational growth. General Worawit Chinnawaiwin, Supoj Ohnboonmee, and Abhisit Thammjai serve as primary leaders overseeing restoration work, driving improvements in the foundation's restoration standards and efficiency.

The foundation has expanded workforce development partnerships by signing MOUs with several educational institutions, including Buddhimantra Vocational College—led by Director Wanachaiwon Worawichitpun and Industrial Machinery and Metal Welding Department Head Anon Nonthasevatmeti—and Nakhon Pathom School for the Deaf, led by Director Sukhjai Chaimaatya, with support from academic and administrative staff including Vice Director Kanyarat Chantersen and Vice Director Sunthree Puthao.

Under modern management systems, the foundation has partnered with numerous universities and educational institutions, drawing many interns. When these young people develop affinity for the organization, many choose to continue working after graduation. Former interns now serving as permanent staff include Sittha Panpeeng, Natchakarn Rengdara, Meena, Theerawut Sudjai, Bunyu Paknoi, Abhiwat Phongsoard, Thanapol Rengdara, and Nujari Suksawat.

Vibha stated: "We thank Jetsada Technical Museum Foundation for offering students valuable professional training opportunities, inspiring their dreams and providing summer income alternatives. For example, Theerawut Sudjai, a hearing-impaired individual, began as a summer intern and now serves as a full-time foundation staff member—an inspiring example for his peers and disabled youth nationwide."

General Worawit added that the foundation currently employs multi-generational personnel, from senior mechanics approaching 70 years old to young staff aged 18–19, who collectively share knowledge and experience, with increasing numbers of both male and female young workers.

Mostafa Ziko, Egypt's striker, has criticized the World Cup for allegedly fixing outcomes in Argentina's favor after his team was knocked out. Egypt's 2026 World Cup run ended at the Round of 16 following a 2-3 loss to defending champion Argentina on July 7, despite initially leading 2-0.

Controversial moments marred the match when Ziko's goal in the 58th minute, which extended Egypt's lead to 2-0, was overturned after VAR determined he had fouled Lisandro Martínez beforehand. Additionally, Mohamed Salah was not awarded a penalty when fouled in Argentina's box before the defending champions mounted a comeback and secured a 3-2 victory with Enzo Fernández's stoppage-time goal in the 92nd minute.

Post-match, Ziko remarked: "Congratulations to Argentina on the World Cup. The tournament is rigged already. They don't need anything else. The referees were unjust... unjust... unjust... unjust. This trophy is being sent to Argentina."

"We were leading 2-0 and playing the best football of our lives," he added. "If they had beaten us because they played better, we would accept it. But losing in the World Cup like this hurts twice as much."

At 8 p.m. on July 7, 2026, police in Muang Nonthaburi received a report of an intentional jump from Nonthaburi pier at the Clock Tower Dock in Muang District. A witness, 42-year-old Bunchai, who was sitting with his girlfriend at the dock, said a man wearing a black long-sleeved shirt, patterned long pants, and white sneakers ran down from the pier, stopped abruptly, and asked, "If I fall here, will I die?" Immediately after speaking, he stepped into the Chao Phraya River and disappeared. The witness alerted police, and a diving team was dispatched. Within approximately 5 minutes of searching, the body was found about 30 meters from the dock. An initial medical examination found no injuries or signs of assault. No identification documents were found on the body, so it was sent for autopsy to determine the cause of death.

Belgian midfielder Amadou Onana has suffered a torn anterior cruciate ligament in his right knee, ending his World Cup 2026 campaign and potentially sidelining him for several months of recovery.

Belgium received devastating news when midfielder Amadou Onana sustained a right knee ACL tear. Not only will he miss the remainder of the 2026 World Cup, but he also faces an extended recovery period.

Onana was forced to leave the pitch in the 21st minute during Belgium's commanding 4-1 Round of 16 victory over co-host United States on July 6, before the severity of his injury was confirmed.

Belgium's team physician stated in an official announcement: "Unfortunately, medical examination confirms that Amadou has suffered an ACL tear. This is devastating news for both him and the team."

The statement also noted that Belgium had consulted with Aston Villa of the English Premier League, Onana's club, and determined that the 24-year-old midfielder would remain with the national team at least through the semi-final match against Spain.

While specific recovery timelines have not been disclosed, ACL tears typically require a minimum of 6-9 months of rehabilitation.

On July 7, 2026 at 10 p.m., Bang Baan Police Sub-Station in Ayutthaya Province received a report of a human skull found near the pier at Wat Boon Gan Navalas temple in Sai Noi subdistrict. Officers coordinated with relevant agencies to investigate the scene. The skull, roughly the size of a palm, was darkened in color and believed to belong to a child who had been deceased for at least one year. Police collected it as evidence to send to the Institute of Forensic Medicine for detailed examination to confirm identity and age of the deceased. Nantawat, 23, the fisherman who found the skull, reported that he had set out alone in a small boat about 50 meters from the riverbank. Within less than five minutes of casting his line, he felt a strong pull, as if a large fish had bitten his bait and was fighting hard. Excited at the prospect of catching a big fish, he gradually reeled in his line. When the hook broke the water's surface, he was horrified to discover a human skull attached to it. After recovering from the shock, he immediately called rescue and police officers to report the discovery. Nantawat admitted he has been fishing for many years but has never encountered anything like this before. Terrified by the experience, he decided to quit fishing for good and rushed home immediately.
