Ancelotti Says Relaxed About Neymar World Cup Availability

Brazil head coach Carlo Ancelotti has said he remains relaxed about Neymar's availability for the 2026 FIFA World Cup, despite the 34-year-old forward suffering a Grade 2 calf injury that will sideline him for two to three weeks. The injury setback came at a time when the 2026 World Cup kicks off in exactly two weeks, with Brazil's opening match against Morocco scheduled for June 13 in New Jersey. Initially thought to be a minor issue of swelling, Neymar was officially diagnosed with the Grade 2 calf injury on Thursday. "We expect Neymar in the first World Cup match against Morocco; if he can't make it, we'll wait for the second game," Ancelotti said in Saturday's press conference. "We're not swapping anyone out; the chosen players are these 26, and these 26 will play in the World Cup." Ancelotti most […]

US reiterates recognition of Morocco’s sovereignty over Sahara

The United States has again reaffirmed its recognition of Morocco’s sovereignty over the Sahara and its support for Rabat’s autonomy plan for the disputed territory. Washington says genuine autonomy under Moroccan authority remains the only realistic basis for a lasting political solution. US Secretary of State Marco Rubio restated the position during talks in Washington with Moroccan Foreign Minister Nasser Bourita. According to official readouts, Rubio said the US stance, first announced under President Donald Trump in 2020, has not changed. Trump had recognised Morocco’s claim to Western Sahara as part of a deal in which Rabat agreed to normalise relations with Israel. In a message to King Mohammed VI during his second term, he reiterated US recognition of Moroccan sovereignty and described the autonomy proposal as serious, credible and realistic. American officials have repeatedly stressed that they do not […]

CAF General Secretary Resigns Amid AFCON Dispute

The Confederation of African Football (CAF) is facing a leadership change as its general secretary, Veron Mosengo-Omba, announced his resignation. His departure comes during a turbulent period for African football, marked by the decision to strip Senegal of the 2025 Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON) title and the last-minute postponement of the women’s tournament. In a statement, Mosengo-Omba said he was leaving with a clear conscience. "Having dispelled the suspicions cast on me, I can retire peacefully and leave CAF stronger than before," he wrote. At 66, Mosengo-Omba had exceeded the organization’s mandatory retirement age of 63, drawing criticism. He also faced allegations from staff about fostering a difficult work environment, though an internal investigation cleared him of wrongdoing. Originally from the Democratic Republic of Congo and also a Swiss national, he became CAF general secretary in March 2021. Reuters […]

Senegal Parade AFCON Trophy In France After Losing Title

Senegal have paraded the Africa Cup of Nations trophy at the Stade de France in Paris, even though the team have been stripped of their 2025 title. The event took place on Saturday before a friendly match against Peru, in front of thousands of Senegalese fans living in France. The Confederation of African Football had ruled earlier in March that Senegal forfeited the AFCON final after several players walked off the pitch in protest over a penalty decision against Morocco. CAF converted Senegal’s 1–0 extra time win into a 3–0 default victory for hosts Morocco and officially awarded them the trophy. Despite the ruling, the Senegalese Football Federation maintains that the team are still the true champions of Africa. The federation went ahead with the parade in Paris to honour the players and share the moment with supporters. Senegal have […]

Rohr backs CAS in AFCON title dispute

Benin head coach Gernot Rohr has thrown his support behind the Court of Arbitration for Sport as the best avenue to resolve the controversy over Senegal’s stripped AFCON title. He was reacting to the Confederation of African Football’s decision to take the trophy from Senegal and award it to Morocco two months after the final.​ Speaking ahead of Benin’s international matches in Morocco, Rohr described the ruling as unbelievable and said it ignores the human side of football. He noted that players who had already celebrated as champions were later told they were no longer winners, calling the situation inhuman and damaging to the spirit of the game.​ Rohr argued that such a late reversal of a tournament result could harm the psychological integrity of competitions across the continent. He believes that only a clear and final decision from the […]
