Your support helps us to tell the story

From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.

At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.

The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.

Your support makes all the difference.

Pro Evolution Soccer's 2011 World Finals are to take place in Cologne, Germany, August 17-19 during the city's Gamescom event.

Around 30 finalists will have come through regional qualifying rounds for the knock-out.

Gamescom, Europe's largest games expo and comparable with E3 and the Tokyo Games Show, runs August 17-21 at the Köln Messe.

The PES World Finals will be just down the road at the KölnSky tower.

Last year's finals were streamed live via UStream.tv, with PES series producer Shingo "Seabass" Takatsuka presenting winners with trophies and prizes.

EA's FIFA series hosted its own tournament finals in California this past June, concurrent with both E3 and the CONCACAF Gold Cup.
