00:17Good morning, welcome to Median TV for Maxi Sport, your sports news show.
00:23The Moroccan national team trained for the first time in Oujda
00:27Yesterday evening, after the organized meeting of the Mohamed 6 football complex near Salé,
00:32a last training session under the leadership of the selector Wael Delgraghi,
00:36before facing Niger at the capital's capital's honour stadium at 9.30pm
00:41for the fifth day of the qualifications for the World Cup 2026 in North America.
00:47This is one of the two events planned for the Lions of Atlas in Oujda,
00:51as they will face Tanzania four days later at the same time.
00:55As a reminder, Morocco is the team's leader with three wins in so many meetings
00:59and hopes to continue this effort at home to secure its place in the World Cup.
01:09And on the Niger side, the stakes are just as high for the training
01:13led by the ex-selector of the Lions of Atlas, Bedouin Zaki.
01:16The menace took place yesterday, for the last time,
01:19before moving to the honour stadium to face Morocco,
01:22the big favourites of the meeting on paper,
01:24especially after the 34 goals scored in the 2025 qualification
01:28which were concluded last November.
01:31Second, with six points in these World Cup qualifiers,
01:34a victory would allow them to move up in the rankings
01:36and take a lead in the rankings of the second-placed teams.
01:41The team has never won, except for a World Cup,
01:44and hopes to break this curse by winning their ticket to North America in the summer of 2026.
01:53Four stadiums located in the cities of Casablanca, Mohamedia, Barcheid and El Jadida
01:57will host the matches of the 15th edition of the Nations Cup,
02:01with less than 17 matches scheduled for 30 March to 19 April.
02:04Next, in Morocco, it will be Arbezaouli Stadium in Casablanca,
02:08El Becher Stadium in Mohamedia,
02:10Barcheid Municipal Stadium and Leibdich Stadium in El Jadida.
02:14This is what the African Football Confederation said
02:17in a statement published on its official website.
02:20The competition will start on 30 March at El Becher Stadium in Mohamedia,
02:25where Morocco, Peyote, will play Luganda for Group A starting at 10 p.m.
02:30As a reminder, the U-17 Nations Cup will also be used as a qualifying tournament
02:35for the FIFA World Cup of the category.
02:38The African continent will be represented by 10 teams
02:41during this extended edition of the World Cup,
02:43which will be held in Qatar, later in Nice.
02:48In Europe, the quarter-finals of the Nations Cup
02:52were played yesterday, with the winner of the title, Spain,
02:56who went to get a good result for the Netherlands.
02:59Final score, two goals everywhere,
03:01Trevith Larroja had taken the advantage of the Argentine.
03:05In this meeting, thanks to Nico Williams,
03:07it was the ninth minute of the game,
03:09Liverpool player Kodi Gakpo then reset the clock
03:12at the end of the first half,
03:14before seeing Tijani Reinders give the advantage to Orange
03:17a few seconds after the return of the changing rooms.
03:20In the end, the Batavians first lost Jorel Ato,
03:22expelled before losing the advantage
03:24and conceding the equalizer goal of the Iberians,
03:27signed by Mikel Merino at the 93rd minute.
03:30The second round is scheduled for Sunday.
03:32Next, in Valence.
03:36And on the side of San Siro,
03:38Italy thought they were starting perfectly,
03:40their duel against Germany by opening the score
03:42of the ninth minute of the game.
03:43Thanks to a goal by Sandro Tonali,
03:45opportunist at the back post.
03:47But in the second period, the team of Azzurra
03:49was surprised by more clinical Germans,
03:51with first the equalizer,
03:53signed by Team Kleindeicht,
03:55a few minutes after the second act,
03:57then imitated by Leon Goretzka,
03:59in the last 15 minutes.
04:01An advantage of a goal that the team
04:03hopes to keep during the return,
04:05planned at the Signal Higduna Park in Dortmund.
04:09And at the Poglou Stadium,
04:11in the suburbs of Split,
04:13the remake of the final of the World Cup 2018
04:16will have turned in favor of the defeat
04:18seven years ago, Croatia,
04:20offering a convincing success against France.
04:22The final score, two goals to zero.
04:24The duo Mbappé-Dembele, however,
04:26sparking the club with Real and PSG,
04:28did not find the fault,
04:30against the defensive solidity of the Croats.
04:32The attacker of Osasuna, Ante Boudimir,
04:34sounded the charge at the 26th minute,
04:36after a penalty missed by Andrej Kramaric
04:38from the 8th minute.
04:40Ivan Perisic, passer on the opening of the score,
04:42was muted in goal just before the break
04:44to confirm the rise of the team
04:46in the first period.
04:48And despite the domination in the second,
04:50the Blues will not have managed to reduce the gap
04:52and will have to do much better
04:54at the Stade de France this Sunday
04:56to hope to integrate the Final Four.
05:00And finally, the last quarter-final
05:02of this League of Nations
05:04saw Denmark surprise Portugal,
05:06who seemed to be in favour of this duel
05:08in Copenhagen.
05:10La Cédessaon held the ball in this meeting,
05:12but the most dangerous chances came
05:14from the feet of the Danish Danemites.
05:16And if Christian Eriksen had missed
05:18his penalty at the 24th minute,
05:20he still had to wait for the 78th
05:22to see an entry action unlock the meeting.
05:24Andreas Kovalsen for Rasmus Hylund,
05:26the goalkeeper of Manchester United,
05:28thus giving a slight advantage to his
05:30before returning to Lisbon this Sunday.
05:34FC Barcelona will continue to dispute
05:36its home games at the Olympic Stadium
05:38in Montjuïc until the end of the season,
05:40thus postponing its return to Camp Nou
05:42due to delays in the work
05:44of modernising its historic venue.
05:46The Blaugrana club
05:48announced yesterday in a statement
05:50the extension of the subscription
05:52to the Montjuïc Stadium for the League
05:54and Champions League matches,
05:56putting an end to speculation
05:58about an anticipated return.
06:00Barça initially planned a return
06:02to its historic stadium,
06:04but delays in the renovation
06:06and obtaining permits forced the club
06:08to postpone the extension.
06:10Launched in June 2023,
06:12it is planned to be completed
06:14in summer 2026 with a capacity
06:16of 105,000 spectators.
06:18The work of modernising the Camp Nou
06:20has undergone several setbacks,
06:22thus delaying the return of Barça
06:24to its legendary stadium.
06:26And while everyone predicted
06:28a tight and long election,
06:30the members of the International Olympic Committee
06:32have been faithful to their tradition
06:34during the elections,
06:36to the presidency of Lausanne's
06:38governing body, with a scrutiny
06:40in one round on the side of Kostas Navarino
06:42in Greece. The necessary time
06:44to elect as 10th president in the history
06:46of the CIO, Kirstie Coventry,
06:48who has succeeded the German Thomas Bach
06:50in office since 2016.
06:52A victory that has nothing of a surprise,
06:54as the double Olympic swimming champion,
06:56first female president
06:58and first African president
07:00is presented as one of the two favourites
07:02alongside the Spanish Juan Antonio Samaranch Jr.,
07:04who will not succeed his father.
07:06But no one expected to have
07:08this election, to give his verdict
07:10at the end of a round,
07:12while this candidate was present
07:14on the starting line,
07:16of which the Frenchman David Lappartient,
07:18who will not have managed to get out
07:20of his role as a challenger
07:22and who should no longer represent
07:24the presidency of the world Olympic body.
07:26I am extremely proud
07:28of both of those
07:30different identities that I have.
07:32I am also grateful
07:34to have had the opportunity
07:36to work very hard
07:38over the last six months
07:40with the members of the committee
07:42to, as you said,
07:44make sure they know who I am
07:46and what are the values
07:48that are dear to me.
07:50And if it's not just
07:52about being a woman
07:54or being a woman from Africa,
07:56I am so grateful
07:58that they saw more
08:00than just gender
08:02or where I come from.
08:04In terms of
08:06the significance
08:08of being the first woman,
08:10I have to say that
08:12some of the women
08:14sitting in the room
08:16today,
08:18Anita de France,
08:20inspire me a little bit
08:22which I might get a little emotional about
08:24with Anita de France.
08:26She was a great source of inspiration
08:28for me and for many women.
08:30I was very proud to be able
08:32to make her proud.
08:34She was the first woman
08:36to run for this position.
08:38And like I said,
08:40she inspired me.
08:42She has been one of my great mentors
08:44since I joined the movement in 2013.
08:46And yes, it's important.
08:48I think it will take some time
08:50but women like her
08:52have opened the way to women like me.
08:56And I want to open the way
08:58to the younger generation
09:00especially because I have two young daughters.
09:06From tennis,
09:08Juan Fonseca won his match
09:10against Lerner Tien
09:12in a remake of the Next Gen ATP Finals
09:14which he had already won
09:16at the end of last year.
09:18He won a match in Miami
09:20by winning 3-7,
09:226-7, 6-3, 6-4.
09:24After winning Buenos Aires
09:26and the Phoenix Challenger,
09:28the 18-year-old continued
09:30his start in 2025.
09:32Qualified for the second round,
09:34he will face the Frenchman Hugo Amber.
09:36Directly qualified for the second round
09:38of the tournament in his quality
09:40of number 19.
09:42And at the press conference
09:44yesterday afternoon
09:46before his entrance
09:48at the tournament in Miami,
09:50the world number 5 Novak Djokovic
09:52came back on the complaint
09:54of the International Association
09:56of Professional Tennis Players
09:58of which he is the co-founder
10:00concerning the claims of his union
10:02and the aspects on which the world
10:04institutions should work
10:06to clean up the tennis world.
10:08I let you listen to an excerpt.
10:10I am a fan and a supporter
10:12of the division in our sport.
10:14But I have always fought
10:16for a better representation,
10:18a better influence and a better
10:20positioning of the players
10:22at the international level
10:24in our sport, which in my opinion
10:26is still not what it should be
10:28and what most players think
10:30it should be, not only in terms
10:32of rewards, but also
10:34regarding many other points
10:36that have been also stated
10:38in that document.
10:40I've seen some changes,
10:42but you know, there are some
10:44fundamental changes that need to be done
10:46and I really hope that all
10:48the leadership bodies, including
10:50the PTPA, will come together
10:52and solve these issues.
10:54This is a classic situation
10:56of legal proceedings between lawyers
10:58and I can be frank with you,
11:00there are things with which I agree
11:02in the lawsuit and others
11:04with which I disagree.
