[Hayes Fawcett] (BREAKING: Four-Star WR Kingston Celifie has Committed to UCLA, he tells me for @Rivals 

The 5’11 175 WR chose the Bruins over Cal, Kansas, and Utah “Let’s work 4’s up🏆”)

Celifie is UCLA's 19th commitment already, and the ninth in May. He’s one of the fastest players in the county and recently set a PR in the 100-meters with a 10.44 time in just his second race of the year. 

He’s currently rated a four-star prospect and the No. 364 player nationally in the Rivals Industry Ranking, an equally weighted average that utilizes all three major recruiting services.

The federal government promised FIFA’s president that if Canada was granted World Cup matches, it was willing to provide some labour law exemptions — by issuing special permits stretching certain workers’ hours or overriding their mandated days of rest. 

The assurance was put in writing, in a February 2018 letter from then-employment minister Patty Hajdu to FIFA president Gianni Infantino, which was released under Canada’s access-to-information laws. A copy of the previously released records were then obtained by the Star.

The Boston 2026 World Cup host committee has announced that tailgating will be permitted at Gillette Stadium despite it previously stating it would be banned.

FIFA sources, speaking on the condition of anonymity to protect relationships, had said the governing body will work with local authorities to determine what is and isn’t safe before a decision is made on whether tailgating is allowed at each venue.

Tailgating will not be permitted at Lumen Field in Seattle due to its city centre location, but the pre-match gatherings are also banned during the NFL season.
