Cuban Players Fled Their Team for an Uncertain Future
Seven Cuban soccer players and an assistant coach defected during an Olympic qualifying tournament in Tampa, Florida, seeking better opportunities and political asylum in the United States.

The players, now in various locations in Florida, are navigating legal and professional uncertainties, with Miami F.C. initially expressing interest but later retracting due to the political situation.

Cubans are divided over more rights for women and the LGBT community
The Cuban government has proposed a new Family Code that includes legalization of same-sex marriage, adoption by same-sex couples, equal division of domestic tasks, prenuptial agreements, and medically assisted reproduction. Despite these progressive measures, public support is lukewarm, with only 54% in favor according to meetings held across the island. The code revises laws dating back to Fidel Castro's era, who admitted responsibility for past persecution of gays. The Catholic Church opposes the proposal, citing gender ideology threats. Mariela Castro is optimistic about the reforms, while expert Bert Hoffman notes the uncertainty of the referendum outcome, a first in Cuba's history.
