Who is Roony Bardghji? Barcelona's teenage signing scores in Vissel Kobe friendly
Roony Bardghji, the 19-year-old Swedish winger, has taken the football world by storm with his recent transfer to FC Barcelona and a standout debut goal against Vissel Kobe in a pre-season friendly on July 27, 2025. But who is this young talent, and why is he generating so much buzz? Roony Bardghji: The Rising Star Early Life and Background Born on November 15, 2005, in Kuwait to Syrian parents, Roony Bardghji moved to Sweden at the age of six with his mother and younger brother, Rayan, who also plays in FC Copenhagen's youth system. Growing up in Kallinge, Sweden, Bardghji learned Swedish, adding it to his repertoire of four languages: Danish, Arabic, and English. His early football days began at local clubs Kallinge SK and Rodeby AIK before a brief stint at Malmö FF in 2019. His talent was evident early on, earning him the nickname 'Swedish Messi' due to his flair and goal-scoring ability. Breakthrough at FC Copenhagen Bardghji joined FC Copenhagen's youth system in 2020 and quickly rose through the ranks. At just 16, he became the club's youngest-ever player in November 2021 and the Danish Superliga's youngest goalscorer later that month. His breakout moment came in 2023 when he scored a stunning goal against Manchester United in the UEFA Champions League, helping Copenhagen secure a 4-3 victory. Before suffering an anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) injury in May 2024, Bardghji had scored 11 goals in the 2023-24 season, cementing his status as one of Europe's brightest prospects. Barcelona's Bargain Signing In July 2025, Barcelona secured Bardghji's signature from FC Copenhagen for a modest €2.7 million, a deal made possible due to his contract nearing its expiration in December 2025. The transfer, spearheaded by Barcelona's sporting director Deco, reflects the club's strategy of investing in young, high-potential players. Bardghji signed a four-year contract until June 30, 2029, and joined Hansi Flick's first-team squad for pre-season training.

Summer McIntosh wins 400m freestyle to open swimming worlds drive for five
Canadian Summer McIntosh won the 400m freestyle to open her bid to win a record-tying five individual gold medals at the World Swimming Championships. McIntosh, an 18-year-old who bagged three golds at the 2024 Olympics, clocked 3 minutes, 56.26 seconds, beating China's Li Bingjie by a comfortable 1.95 seconds. American Katie Ledecky took bronze. Australian Ariarne Titmus, the two-time reigning Olympic gold medalist, was not in the field as she takes the year off. McIntosh previously broke the 400m free world record in 2023 and again last month, when she took it down to 3:54.18. The 400m free was the lone event that McIntosh didn't win at the Paris Games, taking silver behind Titmus and ahead of Ledecky. SWIMMING WORLDS: Results | Broadcast Schedule McIntosh has four individual events left at these worlds: 200m and 400m individual medleys, 200m butterfly and 800m free (an anticipated showdown with four-time Olympic gold medalist Ledecky). She can become the second swimmer to win five individual golds at a single worlds after Michael Phelps. Earlier Sunday, German Lukas Martens took the men's 400m free by two hundredths over Australian Sam Short in 3:42.35. Martens, the Paris Olympic gold medalist, broke the world record in the event in April, clocking 3:39.96. He took down the longest-standing individual world record set by fellow German Paul Biedermann in 2009. In Sunday's preliminary heats session, Americans Torri Huske and Claire Weinstein scratched out of the 100m butterfly and 400m freestyle, respectively. Huske, the Olympic 100m fly gold medalist, withdrew from the event to prioritize the 4x100m free relay, according to USA Swimming. She can still race the 50m and 100m frees later in the meet, plus more relays. Huske was among the U.S. swimmers who became sick at a pre-worlds training camp in Thailand. A majority of U.S. swimmers were affected to varying degrees by acute gastroenteritis, or a stomach bug. Weinstein also made the team in the 200m and 800m frees. Worlds continue all week with preliminary heats at 10 p.m. ET and finals at 7 a.m., live on Peacock. Monday's finals are expected to feature world record holders McIntosh in the 200m IM and Gretchen Walsh in the women's 100m fly. Nick Zaccardi,

Georgia football looking to flip Wisconsin RB commit
The Georgia Bulldogs are looking to flip one of the Wisconsin Badgers' most prized commitments in the class of 2026. The Badgers, who have struggled mightily to recruit in the 2026 recruiting cycle (No. 60 recruiting class nationally with 14 commits), only have two four-star commitments. Of course, Georgia is hoping to flip one of Wisconsin's two four-star commitments. Four-star running back Amari Latimer committed to the Badgers in late June, but that has not stopped Georgia's pursuit of the talented running back. Latimer plays high school football for Sandy Creek High School in Tyrone, Georgia. The 6-foot, 215-pound running back is the No. 306 recruit in the class of 2026 and the No. 20 running back prospect. The Wisconsin commit is the No. 36 prospect in Georgia, per 247Sports. As a junior, Lassiter rushed for over 1,100 yards and scored 19 total touchdowns. Latimer runs with excellent balance through contact and has good, but not elite speed. Latimer is the fourth-best running back in Georgia. One of the backs he's ranked behind is four-star Georgia commit Jae Lamar, who is the No. 120 recruit in the nation. Coach Kirby Smart and Georgia are not satisfied with just one running back commitment in the 2026 cycle. The Dawgs are in the top four contenders for five-star running back Savion Hiter, who is slated to announce his commitment on Aug. 19. If Georgia is unable to land Hiter, then don't be surprised if the Bulldogs make a strong push to flip Latimer. Georgia has a lot of recruiting advantages over Wisconsin and won't be afraid to use them to strengthen their No. 1 ranked recruiting class. Latimer's recruitment battle could go all the way until December's early signing period. Follow UGAWire on Instagram or Threads!
