Reza Afiq's journey in the world of Muay Thai started when he was bullied in school. Looking to equip himself with some self-defence skills, he enrolled in a mixed martial arts class before eventually transitioning to Muay Thai. He channelled that negative experience into something more positive, fully immersing himself in the sport — training in Phuket, competing in multiple fights, and eventually becoming a coach before opening his own gym, Phet Muay Thai. He joins us to talk about his Muay Thai journey and why he believes the sport is for everyone, despite how intimidating it can seem.Image Credit: Reza Afiq

World football governing body FIFA dropped a bombshell earlier this week, announcing the creation of FIFA Forward Enterprise (FFE), a new commercial subsidiary that will manage the rights to the World Cup and the Club World Cup. FIFA president Gianni Infantino plans to sell a 20–30% stake to private investors, with Thrive Capital, led by Joshua Kushner, among the key investors. This has caused widespread uproar among football fans, confederations and other stakeholders, who argue that football should not be treated as a commodity to be sold to private investors. UEFA has since announced plans to boycott future FIFA tournaments, with CONCACAF also rejecting the proposal. We unpack FIFA's bold plan, the furore it has created, and whether it will truly materialise.Image Credit: Taljat David / Shutterstock.com
