2024 in association football
The following are the scheduled events of association football for the calendar year 2024 throughout the world. This includes:

In countries whose league seasons fall within a single calendar year, the 2024 season.

In countries which crown one champion in a season that spans two calendar years, the 2023–24 season.

In countries which split their league season into two championships, a system often known in Latin America as Apertura and Clausura, all championships awarded in calendar 2024.

Apertura and Clausura
The Apertura ([apeɾˈtuɾa]) and Clausura ([klawˈsuɾa]) tournaments is a split season format for Spanish-speaking sports leagues. It is a relatively recent innovation for many Latin American football leagues in which the traditional association football season from August to May is divided in two sections per season, each with its own champion.  Apertura and Clausura are the Spanish words for "opening" and "closing".  In French-speaking Haiti, these are known as the Ouverture and the Fermeture, while in English-speaking Belize, they are respectively the Opening and Closing seasons. When used in the United States and Canada, they are known as the Spring Championship and Fall Championship (French: Championnat de printemps; Championnat d'automne).

Marja'
Marja' (Arabic: مرجع, romanized: marjiʿ ; plural marājiʿ ; lit. 'source to follow'  or 'religious reference') is a title given to the highest level of Twelver Shia religious cleric, with the authority given by a hawzah (a seminary where Shi'a Muslim scholars are educated) to make legal decisions within the confines of Islamic law for followers and clerics below him in rank. The highest ranking marjiʿ is known as the marja al-mutlaq or marja al-taqlid al-mutlaq. A marji' is usually also a grand ayatollah.

Sources differ as to when the institution of the marja' emerged, with Murtadha al-Ansari (died 1864) and Muhammad ibn Ya'qub al-Kulayni (died 940 or 941) both being called the first marja'.

As of 2023, there are more than 50 living maraji, almost all residing in Iran or Iraq.

Ems powerline crossing
The 380 kV Ems Overhead Powerline Crossing is a power line crossing for two three-phase circuits on the Ems River South of Weener, Germany. It is mounted since summer 2007 on two 110 m tall pylons with two crossbars. The length of the span is 405 m.

With smaller 84m pylons before 2007, the crossing was an obstacle for Jewel-class cruise ships built by Meyer Werft in Papenburg. Although the first two ships could pass beneath the line, the clearance was often so close that the line had to be switched off.  When this procedure was followed on November 4, 2006, in order to let the third vessel Norwegian Pearl pass, the 2006 European blackout occurred in many parts of Europe. According to official reports, this was caused by the switching off of this line.

In summer 2007, the towers were rebuilt to be 26 metres (85 feet) higher to let the 4th ship pass, and future ships.

Many reels also have flanges (known as the rims) around the ends of the spool to help retain the wrapped material and prevent unwanted slippage off the ends. In most cases, the reel spool is hollow in order to pass an axle and allow it to spin like a wheel, a winding process known as reeling, which can be done by manually turning the reel with handles or cranks, or by machine-powered rotating via (typically electric) motors.

A smart shop (or smartshop) is a retail establishment that specializes in the sale of psychoactive substances, usually including psychedelics, as well as related literature and paraphernalia.

In the United States, nootropics can be over-the-counter drugs and commonly advertised with unproven claims of effectiveness for improving cognition. The Federal Trade Commission (FTC) and the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) have warned manufacturers and consumers about possible advertising fraud and marketing scams concerning nootropic supplements. Nootropics include both prescription drugs and dietary supplements marketed to enhance brain function, but while FDA-approved drugs have proven benefits and oversight, many dietary supplements lack evidence, may contain unapproved or hidden drugs, and pose safety and regulatory risks.

Districts of Japan
In Japan, a district (郡, gun) is composed of one or more rural municipalities (towns or villages) within a prefecture. Districts have no governing function, and are only used for geographic or statistical purposes such as mailing addresses. Cities are not part of districts.

Historically, districts have at times functioned as an administrative unit.  From 1878 to 1921 district governments were roughly equivalent to a county of the United States, ranking below prefecture and above town or village, on the same level as a city. District governments were entirely abolished by 1926.
