GLOBAL SPORTS AGENDA
Week Preview
The FIFA Matchdays will conclude. The UEFA Nations League has been particularly interesting, with Cristiano Ronaldo (POR) now having played 100 international games for Portugal and having scored 102 goals, just seven short of Ali Daei’s (IRN) 107, as Portugal defeated Andorra 7-0. It has also seen underdogs North Macedonia, Scotland and Finland qualify to the UEFA Euro 2020 (2021), after Finland shocked World Champions, France, 3-0.
Darts will have its Grand Slam with the top players from the PDC and BDC, right as Michael Smith (ENG) won two of five Winter Series Match Nights. One was also picked by Gerwyn Price (WAL), who won the World Cup the previous week.
The SCORE Desert World Series will have its flagship event, the Baja 1000, the second event out of two in this year’s series.
The ATP Finals has seen great matches, especially the game where Dominic Thiem (AUT) defeated Rafael Nadal (ESP). The Spaniard is still alive, as he had beaten Andrey Rublev (RUS). The Singles and Doubles Champions will be known this weekend.
Asian baseball has its biggest weeks coming, with the start of the Korean Series and the Nippon Series. Also in Asia but in Horse Racing, Singapore will have the Singapore Gold Cup, a Triple Crown leg.
