Ronald Koeman has announced his resignation as head coach of the Dutch national team following the Netherlands' disappointing elimination in the last 32 of the 2026 FIFA World Cup. The Dutch side finished their campaign after losing to Morocco 3-2 on penalties following a 1-1 draw in regular time and extra time.

Koeman faced intense criticism for his performance, particularly over defensive tactics and his recent shift to a back-five formation. On June 30, Koeman confirmed his departure in a personal post as head coach of the national team.

In his statement, Koeman said: "I want to thank all the players I had the opportunity to work with. Your dedication, character, and trust have been my inspiration every day."

"Thank you to my coaching staff, the Royal Dutch Football Association (KNVB), all the staff behind the scenes, and the clubs I've had the privilege to work with."

"But above all, thank you to all the fans. Thank you for your support, especially during difficult times. It has been a tremendous honor to represent the Dutch national team as a coach."

"I say farewell with mixed feelings. Of course, I would have wanted to end my time with the Dutch national team as world champions. Unfortunately, that dream did not come true."

"But above all, pride is what remains. Pride in everything football has given me, in the people I have met, and in the fact that I could turn my greatest passion into a career."

"Thank you for all the years filled with trust, criticism, support, disappointment, and success."

Former heavyweight champion Tyson Fury will fight Polish challenger Marius Wak at Max Muay Thai arena in Pattaya, Chachoengsao Province on July 24. Fury, the British former heavyweight world champion, is making a comeback this year after announcing his retirement in January 2025. He returned to the ring with a points victory over Russia's Arslan Makhmudov in London in April. Goldstar Promotions shared an Instagram post stating, "The Gypsy King will return once more in a historic night in Thailand at Max Muay Thai in Pattaya on July 24. Proceeds from ticket sales will be donated to local charitable organizations." Fury, who has been training in Pattaya this year, commented: "This is an important year for me in boxing. I'm excited to bring this fight to Pattaya, and I'm using this opportunity to give back to the local community that has supported me so well every time I visit." Although Netflix's logo appeared in Fury's shared post, ESPN reports that no broadcaster has been officially confirmed yet. After this fight, Fury is scheduled to face British former world champion Anthony Joshua in late 2024, with both fighters having signed with Saudi Arabia's entertainment organization.

A residential fire broke out in Soi Charan Sanit Wongse 75, Soi 25-2 in Bangkok's Bangphlat district on June 30, 2012, at 11:07 p.m. Radio Center Rama 199 received the emergency report and dispatched firefighters and rescue personnel from multiple stations including Bangoob, Bawornmongkol, Bangkunnonth, Samsaen, the Special Water Rescue Operations Division, and Bangkwai Municipality.

The affected structure was a two-story, semi-concrete and semi-wooden Thai-style residential building that suffered extensive damage.

District Director Manita Rujasiri, Civil Engineering Chief Natthawut Paksukhi, and other municipal officials inspected the scene.

Tottenham Hotspur has completed the signing of midfielder Mateus Fernandes from West Ham United for £85 million, according to BBC reports. The Premier League club has acquired the midfielder from their London rivals in a substantial transfer deal as they aggressively strengthen their squad ahead of next season.

Spurs, who narrowly avoided relegation last season, are undergoing a major recruitment drive. The club previously spent £52 million to acquire defender Jan Paul van Hecke from Brighton, another Premier League club.

Beyond the Fernandes deal, Spurs have also secured three free agents: goalkeeper Martin Dubravka from Burnley, left-back Andy Robertson from Liverpool, and defender Marcos Senesi from Bournemouth.

With West Ham relegated to the Championship for next season, there is significant risk of player departures from the club. Fernandes had previously been linked with Manchester United, another Premier League side, but the Red Devils were unwilling to match the fee Spurs agreed to pay.

On the same day, Spurs confirmed they have extended Czech goalkeeper prospect Antonín Kinský's contract by an additional five years, despite his recent arrival at the club in 2025.

Iran's national football team has expressed gratitude to Tijuana, Mexico for their warm hospitality during the 2026 World Cup, calling Mexico their "second home" and a team they will support going forward. The Iranian team faced significant challenges before and during the tournament, including relocating their training base from Arizona to Tijuana and dealing with travel complications for their scheduled matches in the United States. Despite these obstacles, Iran's World Cup campaign ended at the group stage after drawing all three matches against Belgium, Egypt, and New Zealand, earning just 3 points and finishing third in their group—not enough to advance to the knockout round. In a WhatsApp message, the Iranian national team stated: "True hospitality requires respect, compassion, and dignity. We will never forget Tijuana's kindness. From now on, Mexico will be more than just a host to us. This place will be our second home and the team we will cheer for."

A mother is devastated after her 12-year-old disabled son was attacked and beaten unconscious by three Grade 7 students at their school in Nong Han District, Udon Thani Province on the evening of June 23. The incident was captured on video and sparked outrage on social media. The boy, identified as "A" (pseudonym), suffers from a disability affecting his walking ability since birth and was knocked unconscious during the assault. When he regained consciousness, the three older students continued to surround and intimidate him.

The mother, Ms. Dao (pseudonym), 34, rushed back from Bangkok after learning of the attack. She described her son as disoriented and terrified, refusing to return to school due to fear of further violence and threats that the older students would harm his elderly grandparents. She expressed heartbreak over the incident, particularly because her son is disabled and vulnerable. When she requested CCTV footage from the school, officials claimed cameras were malfunctioning and unable to record. The school also pressured the grandmother to delete the viral video.

During a local mediation attempt, the attackers' parents demanded 30,000 baht per person in damages, with an additional 10,000 baht from whoever recorded the video. They later reduced this to 5,000 baht per person, but eventually only offered 1,000 baht each, which the family rejected. The mother appealed for understanding and called on the school to better protect students, expressing her belief that schools should be safe spaces. The grandmother also expressed her distress, noting she has never beaten or harmed her four grandchildren and questioned why the school appeared to be covering up the truth rather than pursuing justice.
