Association football, otherwise known as soccer, is sometimes described as "the beautiful game".
In the 2026 FIFA World Cup, the competition for third place came down to France v England in a match on 18 July. England won third place and France went home with fourth. Congratulations to both teams on their high finishes among the 48 competing teams.
Coincidentally, Bastille Day, is celebrated on 14 July. Also, the 2026 Tour de France and Wikimania 2026 were held this month in France.

Wikimania is an annual international conference which this year happened in France.
On 25 July, The WikiOrchestra and WikiChoir gave a fun performance at the closing ceremony of Wikimania 2026. See this YouTube link.
Earlier in Wikimania, there was a nice presentation regarding "WikiPress", including The Kurier which is the German Wikipedia's closest equivalent to The Signpost and functions like a Wikipedia village pump, and several other publications including one on French Wiktionary. For additional coverage of Wikimania 2026, see elsewhere in this issue of The Signpost.
