00:19His Majesty the King Mohammed VI sent a congratulatory message to Moroccan boxer Widad Bortel,
00:25who is a world champion in the 52-54 kg category in the women's boxing world in Serbia.
00:31In this message, His Majesty the King expresses his warmest congratulations to the world champion for this achievement,
00:38the result of his perseverance and his ambition to raise the national colors on the podiums and to engrave his name among the great champions forever.
00:47Affirmatively sharing with the Moroccan boxer the feelings of great joy and pride after this well-deserved sacrifice,
00:53the sovereign wishes him more success and success in the next competitions.
01:01The Moroccan team held a second training session yesterday at the Mohammed VI Football Complex,
01:07in anticipation of the 5th and 6th day of the 2026 World Cup qualifiers.
01:12This session was dedicated by the national team coach Walid Regreggi to the technical and tactical aspects,
01:18in the presence of all the elements of the group, as indicated by the Moroccan Royal Football Federation on its official website.
01:25The Lions will face Niger on the 21st at the Stade d'Honneur in Oujda.
01:30Four days later, they will face Tanzania on the pitch of the same stadium.
01:35The national team has invited 26 players in anticipation of these two meetings,
01:40whose kick-off is scheduled at 9.30 pm.
01:43Morocco takes the first place of the group E with its eliminators with 9 points.
01:48I'll let you listen to the first reactions of two Moroccan neo-internationals, Shemzdine Talbich and Bilal Nadir.
01:56I learned the day the national team came out.
01:59I was really very happy, I had finished training and I immediately looked at my phone.
02:03I saw my family, they sent me a lot of messages.
02:06And then I saw the selection, I was really happy.
02:09Of course, it's a childhood dream to be here with great players, to be with my country, Morocco.
02:14And to be able to be here and develop all my football, I'm really very happy.
02:19I already knew a few players, they showed me how to integrate well.
02:23I learn every day, I learn to know them and I'm very happy.
02:26Of course, I watched all the matches.
02:29The infrastructure here is really incredible, everything is great.
02:32The pitches are great, the coaches are great, everything is great here.
02:35My ambition is really to win as many titles as possible,
02:39to make the Moroccans proud and to have fun on the pitch.
02:43I was notified of the call when I left the mosque.
02:47My phone was only ringing and thank God I was very happy.
02:52It's an honour for me to represent Morocco.
02:55I didn't have time to tell anyone.
02:57Everyone was already calling me, whether it was my father, my mother or my family in Morocco.
03:02Everyone called me, but the first call was from my mother.
03:06It's really a great joy and a great honour because the selection has a very strong team.
03:11We saw it at the World Cup 2022 and we'll see it, I hope, at the next African Nations Cup.
03:17We hope to be at the same level with a selection of high-level and great players.
03:22To the Moroccan public, I would like to say that I am very happy to be able to defend the jersey of the selection,
03:27hoping to win with your support and to make you as happy as possible.
03:32Always on Maamoura's side, Ismail El Fatsaha joins the board of referees of the Moroccan Royal Football Federation yesterday.

03:43he will carry out a general assessment of the organization of the referees
03:47with the aim of designating strengths and weaknesses, as well as the means to develop them.

04:13still in Qatar at the 2022 World Cup,
04:16where he also refereed several matches of the Gold Cup of CONCACAF.
04:25And as announced by the president of the Moroccan Royal Football Federation,
04:29Fawzi El Aqja, a few weeks ago, the rehabilitation of the Mohamed V Stadium

04:48On the other hand, the rehabilitation of the stadium aimed at increasing the capacity of the stadium,
04:53the rehabilitation of the press stand and the VIP stand,
04:57the installation of new numbered seats, as well as the renovation of the iron closure.
05:02A news that confirms the statements of the Moroccan football boss,
05:06which was announced in March for the end of work.
05:09And as a reminder, this confrontation between the two enemy brothers will be played
05:13in the context of the 26th day of the Botola Pro D1 in Ouish,
05:16separated by four points and four ranks,
05:19with an advantage over Ouak, who is at the bottom of the podium.
05:26Qualified for the final phase of the League of Nations,
05:28thanks to a first place in the group acquired in Italy on the last day,
05:32the French team is back in March 2025,
05:36with the aim of lifting a new trophy a little over a year from the World Cup 2026.
05:41To integrate the Final Four, planned for next June,
05:45the partners of Kylian Mbappé, who will find the selection after more than six months
05:49after his last cap, which dates from September 9,
05:52against Belgium, victory 2-0.
05:54They will challenge Croatia in a back-and-forth match.
05:57To play this quarter-final, the vice-champions of the world
06:00will move to the Pouilloudes stadium in the suburb of Split.
06:03Raphinha's teammates, Amin Yamal, Kylian Mbappé or Ousmane Dembélé,
06:08the French defender of FC Barcelona,
06:10Jules Koundé also had a thorny question about his forecast for the next Ballon d'Or,
06:16but the right-back still made his choice.
06:18I'll let you listen to him.
06:20Honestly, you put me in a difficult position between the French team's teammates
06:25and Barcelona.
06:27Honestly, they all have very, very good seasons.
06:31It's difficult to give a favourite.
06:33Obviously, there's only one who can win it.
06:37There are also other names that have not necessarily been mentioned.
06:43They're all very different players,
06:48and they're all impressive in their own way.
06:53I play for Barcelona, so that would be a good thing.
06:59It would mean that we've gone far in the competitions
07:02and that we've won a lot of trophies if a player from Barcelona came to win them.
07:06Another quarter-final that will start this Friday,
07:08this time in Wembley.
07:10England welcome Albania for the first wait of the new coach, Thomas Tuchel.
07:16The German coach has taken over his new position since last January,
07:20but it will be his first international break in the order of the Three Lions.
07:24The goal is clear.
07:26He has just started his term,
07:28won the League of Nations,
07:30which he did not succeed in with his predecessor, Gareth Southgate,
07:34former Chelsea and Paris Saint-Germain coach.
07:37He is already well-known in England,
07:39in particular thanks to the good recommendation
07:41of the English striker from Bayern, Harry Kane,
07:44who played under Saoulet last season on the Munich side.
07:47We listen to the goalkeeper of the English team, Jordan Pickford,
07:50who was present at a press conference yesterday afternoon.
07:56It is obvious that Harry Kane had the season last year
07:59and that he said he was very good and very motivated and that he wanted to win.
08:03I think everyone wants that as a footballer.
08:05Everyone wants to win.
08:07I think you can see the passionate side he has
08:10when he played in the Premier League with Chelsea.
08:12You saw it with the players and the cohesion he likes to have with them.
08:16I am therefore very enthusiastic about the idea of taking up the challenge that is presented to us
08:20and I think we have an excellent coach to help us progress.
08:24I am almost at the same level of selection as Gordon Banks
08:27and I still have two selections to go before I equal Jo Hart and David Seaman.
08:31I have always admired Jo Hart.
08:33He was number one when I was young and I have always wanted to be him.
08:37It will be a great honour for me to continue to defend the jersey of the national team
08:42and to beat them.
08:45At a press conference with the Danish national team,
08:47Christian Eriksen announced that he would probably leave Manchester United
08:51at the end of the season, explaining not to have been asked for a potential extension.
08:56My contract expires this summer and I am ready to look for something new.
09:00It suits me very well, he said before the quarter-finals of the League of Nations against Portugal on Thursday.
09:06After his heart attack on June 12, 2021 at the Euro 2020 against Finland,
09:11the Danish midfield had been deprived of competition for eight months
09:15and had had to leave Italy for three months,
09:17banning professional football with a defibrillator before joining England,
09:23where he defended the colours of Brentford and the Red Devils.
09:27At the age of 33, Eriksen excluded a departure to the United States,
09:30too far, like a return to Denmark, which he still considers too early.
09:39German runner Tania Braun began her crazy project of the Global Desert Race in Morocco
09:44by doing a long walk on foot in the Moroccan desert between Merzouga and Zagora,
09:49a test run by the German in the dunes of the kingdom,
09:53since she had already done the Trans-Sahara Marathon in February.
09:57This 700-kilometre stage between the Chegaga and Chebbi Arcs
10:02is the first stage of a awareness project for the protection of desert ecosystems
10:07and the responsible use of water,
10:09during which she plans to walk a total of 10,000 km on foot in 10 races,
10:14distributed over 10 countries.
10:16The next step for her will be in Wadi Rum, in the south of Jordan.
10:23I am proud, happy, relieved, but above all very tired,
10:28and my body makes me understand that it was not just a walk in a park.
10:34It was tough, even though I have already experienced the rough and arduous path of the desert.
10:42There have been sandstorms, heat, then cold and especially dryness,
10:49but I have also witnessed the beauty and uniqueness of this ecosystem.
10:56A word about tennis.
10:58Founded by Novak Djokovic and Vasek Pospicil in 2019,
11:02the Association of Professional Tennis Players announced in a statement
11:06that it was attacking in justice the ATP, the WTA, the International Tennis Federation
11:11and the International Tennis Agency.
11:14A dozen current and former players have joined this complaint,
11:18which was filed yesterday in the United States, the United Kingdom and the European Union.
11:23The WTA announces actions in historical justice against the authorities
11:28denouncing a corrupt, illegal and abusive system,
11:31accusing the tennis board of having created a cartel that overestimates the prices of tournaments,
11:37limits outdoor games and restricts competition between rival tournaments,
11:42in addition to setting unsustainable calendars for players.
11:46The WTA claims that the tennis board is breaking American antitrust laws
11:51by controlling the working conditions and salaries of players.
11:59Let's finish with basketball.
12:01Number one in the regular season ST conference in the NBA
12:04and already qualified for the playoffs.
12:06The Cleveland Cavaliers, nevertheless,
12:08beat the Los Angeles Clippers tonight.
12:11Final score 132 to 119.
12:13The Cavs suffered their second consecutive loss in this regular season
12:18after a home win against the Magic of Orlando on Sunday,
12:224 minutes 30 from the buzzer,
12:24when the score was 121-115.
12:26The Clippers got away with a 11-4 run,
12:31allowing them to follow up with a fourth consecutive win.
