The England national football team will host Switzerland and the U.S. in two autumn internationals to complement its Nations League fixtures. The side will face the Swiss on Sept. 11 "at a venue to be decided," with the game against the U.S. scheduled for Nov. 15 at Wembley. Both matches are within three days of Nations League games (BBC, 4/18).

Liverpool fans "can expect to pay £73" ($103.70) for tickets for the second leg of the club's Champions League semifinal against Roma. A total of 5,000 tickets will be made available to purchase for traveling fans ahead of the clash at Rome's Stadio Olimpico on May 2. The £73 fee marks a "significant increase" from the £44.50 ($63.21) figure Chelsea fans paid for their side's group-stage game away at Roma (London INDEPENDENT, 4/18).

National Rifle Association of India President Raninder Singh wants India to boycott the 2022 Birmingham Commonwealth Games in the wake of the organizers' decision to drop shooting from the program. Shooting, which has been featured at every Games since '66 with the exception of Edinburgh in '70, is an optional sport for host cities and media reports have cited "a lack of suitable facilities" as the reason behind Birmingham's decision (REUTERS, 4/18).
