BUENOS AIRES, Sept 9 (Reuters) - Argentina's corn exports are expected to reach a record 10 million metric tons in August and September, driven by a ****** per harvest and strong international demand as buyers seek alternatives to Ukrainian supplies disrupted by war and European crops battered by extreme heat.
The world's third-largest corn exporter is wrapping up its 2025/26 harvest, estimated at 71.7 million tons, nearly 20% above the previous record set five years ago, according to government data.
"Argentine corn right now is very competitive in price and in volume," Gustavo Idigoras, head of the CIARA-CEC grains exporters and crushers chamber, told Reuters. Normal export volumes for August-September typically reach about 3 million tons, he added.
Idigoras said demand from North African countries — typically buyers of Ukrainian grain — has been the primary driver. "In the last months we've had meetings with several North African countries, who want to have deeper commercial ties with Argentine exporters," he said, without naming specific countries.

WBO president Gustavo Olivieri has categorically denied Hamzah Sheeraz's allegations of corruption after Janibek Alimkhanuly was installed as the mandatory challenger for Sheeraz's WBO super middleweight ******* le.
Alimkhanuly, the former unified middleweight champion, failed a VADA anti-doping test for a banned substance just days before his scheduled three-belt unification with Erislandy Lara this past December.
The fight was canceled, but the WBO later terminated Alimkhanuly's suspension early and has now controversially installed him as Sheeraz's mandatory challanger, despite Alimkhanuly having never competed at 168 pounds.
Sheeraz was unhappy with the WBO's ruling and made his feelings clear in an interview with Uncrowned's Ariel Helwani this past month.
"I think it's a joke," Sheeraz said. "I think what the WBO have done here is disgraceful to the sport of boxing. What they're essentially doing is rewarding someone who has [tested positive], so to me, it doesn't make sense.

New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani repeatedly declined to distance himself from embattled New York City Democratic Socialists of America (DSA) co-chair Gustavo Gordillo, after being pressed on allegations that the DSA leader failed to pay thousands in rent on a Crown Heights apartment while his family spent a reported $1.4 million renovating the NYC townhouse where he lives—a contrast critics say is difficult to square with the anti-landlord, rent-abolitionist socialist housing agenda he helps champion.
Mamdani said Sunday that people working for a "more affordable life" and a "fairer life" for New Yorkers "should be welcomed into this work." When asked again Monday whether Gordillo should step down and whether he condemned allegations that Gordillo lied about his employment, the mayor said he welcomed anyone committed to making New York "a city that everyone can belong to." Meanwhile, asked directly whether he condemned Gordillo's alleged actions and lying, Mamdani ended the exchange: "Thank you very much."
Gordillo, an Ivy League graduate who as a NYC-DSA co-chair met weekly with Mamdani and his campaign manager as the group coordinated fundraising, field and communications efforts, later served on Mamdani's Economic Development & Workforce Development transition committee, according to public reporting.
He is named in a pending Brooklyn Housing Court case, in which a former landlord alleges Gordillo failed to pay $5,000 in rent on a $2,500-a-month Crown Heights apartment, while his family's townhouse was undergoing its $1.4 million in renovations, according to the New York Post. Gordillo's family reportedly bought the Bed-Stuy townhouse in 2019 for $935,000, while Gordillo's father has said it is for Gordillo and his brother to live in.

Playing away from home at Nubank Parque in São Paulo (SP), Santos FC ended up being beaten 3-0 by Palmeiras on Wednesday night (26), in the first leg of the 2026 Copa do Brasil quarterfinals. The return derby will take place next Wednesday (02), at 9:30 p.m., at Vila Belmiro.
Before facing the green-and-white side again, however, coach Cuca's men now switch their focus to another derby, this time in the 2026 Brazilian Championship. Next Sunday (30), Peixe visits Corinthians at 4 p.m. at Neo Química Arena, in the 25th round.

The match – Playing away from home, Santos FC started by containing their rivals and looking dangerous on the counterattack, but with few chances for either side. In the 26th minute, Igor Vinícius exchanged passes with Gustavo Henrique and broke into the box alone. With no angle, however, the full-back shot wide.
Palmeiras, in turn, responded in the 33rd minute, when Flaco López tried his luck from very long range and opened the scoring for the home side at Nubank Parque. The Alvinegro Praiano felt the impact of the goal conceded and saw the green-and-white side grow into the derby.

The Los Angeles Angels placed outfielder Gustavo Campero on the injured list after he came out of Tuesday's loss to the Cleveland Guardians.
Campero injured himself in an attempt to advance from first base to second on a wild pitch in the second inning of Tuesday's loss, pulling up halfway to second base and exiting the game after limping to the base and having a brief conversation with the trainer.
The 28-year-old outfielder had just returned to the team from Triple-A Aug. 22 after outfielder Wade Meckler landed on the concussion injured list. He played in four games afterwards, posting a .788 OPS with two RBIs over the course of those games.
To replace Campero, the Angels recalled outfielder Bryce Teodosio from Triple-A. They also moved the bullpen around, optioning left-hander Blake Weiman and recalling right-hander Trevor Martin.
Teodosio has played 34 games this season, spending most of the year in Triple-A after coming up late in 2025 and posting disappointing numbers. On the year, Teodosio has a .213/.260/.255 slash line for a .515 OPS, and has stolen four bases in five attempts.

"To go to the Premier League with Coventry was something I always dreamt of so when the club came back in for me, it was very special so I'm very happy.
"The love I got from the fans was amazing so the only thing I can give back to them is goals, ****** ists and a good performance so that's what I will try to do. Of course, you can't score or give an ****** ist every game but what I can do is give 100 per cent for the badge, for the Club and for the fans."

"I'm buzzing, it's the move I wanted to make," said Hamer, who scored 19 goals in 132 outings during his last spell with Coventry.
"To go to the Premier League with Coventry was something I always dreamt of so when the club came back in for me, it was very special so I'm very happy.
"The love I got from the fans was amazing so the only thing I can give back to them is goals, ****** ists and a good performance so that's what I will try to do. Of course, you can't score or give an ****** ist every game but what I can do is give 100 per cent for the badge, for the Club and for the fans."

Cruzeiro and Atlético-MG will compete for a spot in the Copa Betano do Brasil semifinalCredits: Gustavo Aleixo/Cruzeiro
CBF held the draw for the quarterfinals of the 2026 Copa do Brasil this Tuesday (11), in Rio de Janeiro, which will feature, for the first time since 1989, three state derby matchups. On one side of the bracket, the competition will have the clashes between Internacional x Grêmio and Cruzeiro x Atlético-MG. On the other, Vasco x Vitória and Palmeiras x Santos.
Of these four matchups, two have previously decided the tournament: the Minas Gerais derby, Atlético-MG x Cruzeiro, in 2014, when Galo were crowned champions, and the São Paulo derby, Palmeiras x Santos, in 2015, when Alviverde lifted the trophy.
Historically, all four matchups have taken place before. Grêmio and Inter faced each other only once, in 1992, in the quarterfinals, when Colorado advanced on penalties. Cruzeiro and Atlético-MG, in addition to the 2014 final, met in the quarterfinals in 2019 and 2025, with one victory for each side.

Win over Grêmio moved Botafogo closer to the top 8 in the Brasileirão U-17Credits: Angelo Pieretti/Grêmio FBPA
Botafogo beat Grêmio 3-1 on Monday night (10) at Airton Ferreira da Silva, in Eldorado do Sul (RS), in the opening match of the 11th round of the Brasileirão U-17. The result, secured with goals from Bernardo Germano (2) and Gustavo Xisto (1), left Glorioso just one point behind América-MG, who sit in eighth place with 16 points.
The top eight teams in the standings will secure a place in the quarterfinals of the competition. To stay close to the qualification zone, the club from General Severiano will have to rely on slip-ups from Santos, who have 14 points, and Internacional and São Paulo, both on 13.
The team from Rio Grande do Sul, who pulled one back through Benjamin Santos, remained in 15th place and stayed on 10 points, but could be overtaken this round.

Kalvin Phillips is set to return to Sheffield United as Manchester City will send him out on loan for a fourth time.
The England international midfielder, who still has two years left on his contract at the Etihad Stadium, has not featured in the Premier League for City since 2023.
The 30-year-old joined Sheffield United for the second half of last season but only made three appearances before a red card in a Steel City derby and then a knee injury meant he did not feature again.
But United manager Chris Wilder has moved to bring in Phillips for a second time to give him options in midfield while he faces losing Gustavo Hamer to Coventry City.
Phillips cost City £42.5m when he joined for Leeds in 2022 but has only started two league games for them and has gone on loan to West Ham. Ipswich and United.

BOGOTA, Colombia (AP) — Colombian President Abelardo de la Espriella on Friday pledged to revive the country's oil and gas sector, restore state-owned energy company Ecopetrol and strengthen the electricity system, arguing that energy security would be a cornerstone of his administration.
Speaking during his inauguration, de la Espriella said Colombia would pursue an energy transition — a shift away from oil, gas and coal toward cleaner energy sources such as wind and solar power — but insisted it must not come at the expense of the country's oil and gas industry.
"I believe in the energy transition," he said. "But that transition must be built from strength, not from weakness, from self-sufficiency and not from dependence."
The remarks reinforce a sharp shift from former President Gustavo Petro, who stopped awarding new oil and gas exploration contracts while pushing Colombia toward renewable energy and making protection of the Amazon a centerpiece of his environmental agenda. Just four months ago, Petro's government hosted an international summit in the Caribbean city of Santa Marta aimed at building support for a global transition away from fossil fuels.
The commitments echo promises de la Espriella made throughout his presidential campaign, when he repeatedly vowed to expand oil and gas production and reverse key elements of Petro's energy policy.

Sheffield United have agreed a deal with Coventry City for the transfer of Gustavo Hamer, bringing an end to the Dutchman's three-year spell at Bramall Lane.
The midfielder is set to return to Coventry in a deal worth £6 million plus add-ons, with a medical scheduled to take place today as the transfer moves towards completion, per Sky Sports. The Blades are now preparing to lose one of the most influential attacking players in their squad just days before the start of their Championship campaign.
Hamer missed Sheffield United's trip to Mansfield Town in the EFL Cup on Sunday afternoon, with his absence immediately raising further questions over his future. United, however, were able to put his omission to one side as they made the short journey to Nottinghamshire and secured an impressive 3-0 victory.
The result ensured that Chris Wilder's side progressed, but attention away from the pitch quickly turned towards Hamer and his increasingly likely departure. Now, a deal has been agreed that will see the 29-year-old head back to Coventry, where he previously established himself as one of the Championship's most exciting midfielders.
For Sheffield United, replacing Hamer will be no straightforward task. During his three seasons at Bramall Lane, the Dutchman has more than justified the price tag the Blades paid to bring him to South Yorkshire in 2023. Across all competitions, Hamer has scored 21 goals and registered 26 ****** ists for United, giving him a remarkable total of 47 goal involvements during his time at the club.

Spanish journalist Ramon Alvarez de Mon reports that Vinicius Junior's next round of contract talks with Real Madrid will take place in the next 48 hours, but Real are expected to maintain the same offer they already made to the player in recent months.
Gustavo Hofman writes for ESPN in Brazil that Real submitted their most recent offer to Vinicius shortly after the World Cup, offering him around €22m annually, a slight increase on their previous offer to him.
But that amount is still far from what Vinicius is asking for, which is approximately €30m. As a result, Real are considering selling if the upcoming contract negotiations fail to make any progress.

Sheffield United boss Chris Wilder has admitted that star player Gustavo Hamer is still drawing interest from other clubs.
The Blades drew 0-0 with German side Vfl Bochum in their final pre-season match. Despite continuing speculation on his future, Hamer played the full 90 minutes.
The midfielder has been heavily-linked linked with a return to newly-promoted side Coventry City. Hamer had previously played for Coventry before moving to Sheffield United for £15 million when they were promoted to the Premier League in 2023. The 29-year-old could make the switch from the Championship to the Premier League again this summer.
"I don't know if you realise, but I've just walked off the pitch," Wilder answered on Hamer's future. "I've had five minutes with my team and walked up to the media room. We'll check in, but Gus had a red and white shirt on today.
"You've seen his actions, you've seen his attitude towards the game, you've seen the positions he got in. You saw his reaction when a couple of things didn't come off.

Internacional, champions of the 1st U-15 Copa do BrasilCredits: Rafael Ribeiro / CBF
In an exciting final between two top teams from Brazil's youth ranks, Internacional beat Palmeiras 3-1 this Saturday (August 1) to become the champions of the first U-15 Copa do Brasil. The match was played at Granja Comary, in Teresópolis (RJ), and was attended by CBF president Samir Xaud.
Asafe, Kayki, and Gustavo Fahmer scored the goals in the win. Maicon scored for Palmeiras. At an intense pace, both teams fought for every ball with grit and determination. They also stood out for their creativity, dribbling, and plays that showed technique and great skill.
At the start of the first half, Palmeiras took control of the game and opened the scoring in the 12th minute through Maicon, after a run down the right by Gabriel Bueno, who got past his marker. It looked as though Palmeiras' second goal would not take long, such was the team's dominance.
But Inter changed the course of the match. They started moving the ball more quickly and equalized in the 26th minute with a goal by Asafe after a corner kick. Then, in the 38th minute, they completed the comeback with a fine finish from Kaique from outside the box.

Grêmio is still looking in the market to sign a center-back to partner Gustavo Martins, following the departure of Viery, who was sold to Fiorentina.
According to ge, the coaching staff believes that veteran Kannemann, at 35, does not have the physical condition to cope with an intense marathon of matches.
The Tricolor's problem is its financial limitations when it comes to investing in a replacement. The club has a strict wage cap and wants to avoid major spending on the purchase of economic rights.
The names of Argentines Matías Moreno and Nicolás Valentini, both linked to Fiorentina, have emerged as alternatives for the position.
Talks for Moreno, however, have not progressed. The player prefers to remain in European football, and the Italian club is demanding a permanent transfer, which rules out the loan model sought by the Gaúchos.

Justin Bieber is set to appear at the first-ever FIFA World Cup Final Halftime Show.
On Wednesday, officials from the international football organisation and the Global Citizen charity announced that the Canadian superstar will join Madonna, BTS, and Shakira for the spectacle held at New York New Jersey Stadium on 19 July.
"The FIFA World Cup brings the world together in a way nothing else can," praised Justin. "I'm grateful to be part of this Halftime Show, and even more grateful knowing it's already helping expand access to education for children around the world."
In addition, Burna Boy will join in on the 11-minute broadcast. The Nigerian star collaborated with Shakira on Dai Dai - the official song for this year's football competition.
"The FIFA World Cup is one of the few moments that truly brings the entire world together," he exclaimed. "To represent Africa on the first-ever FIFA World Cup Final Halftime Show is a privilege and a responsibility that I don't take lightly. I'm honoured to be part of a performance that not only celebrates football and culture but also helps create greater opportunities for children through education around the world."
Coldplay's Chris Martin is "curating" the production, with conductor Gustavo Dudamel and the PS 22 Chorus also participating.

The twenty-third edition of the World Cup has turned into a true nightmare for CONMEBOL. Following Colombia’s recent elimination, the continent has suffered an unprecedented competitive purge, losing five of its six representatives. Now, the entire region is placing its hopes on Argentina, the only bastion still standing.
The road for the South American national teams was marked by institutional crises and a lack of efficiency:
Uruguay: Marcelo Bielsa’s cycle ended in despair. They were eliminated in the group stage with just two points, prompting the coach’s immediate resignation.
Ecuador: Despite ending a historic unbeaten run, they suffered from severe “goal-scoring anemia,” which triggered Sebastián Beccacece’s departure in the round of 16.
Paraguay: Managed by Gustavo Alfaro, they put in a respectable showing by eliminating Germany, but bowed out against France in the round of 16.

Switzerland beat Colombia 4-3 on penalties after a goalless draw to set up a quarter-final with defending champions Argentina.
The two teams cancelled each other out on Tuesday in the final game of the last 16 – the last match to be played at the 2026 tournament outside the United States.
Both teams missed spot-kicks before Switzerland goalkeeper Gregor Kobel brilliantly saved Cucho Hernandez’s effort and Ruben Vargas scored the decisive penalty.
Colombia, once again backed by thousands of passionate fans in Vancouver, had conceded just once in their four games before Tuesday’s match and the Swiss had also proved difficult to break down.
The first action of note came in the 21st minute when Kobel was forced into a flying save to keep out Gustavo Puerta’s curling effort from the edge of the penalty area.
