00:00The Moroccan football team of less than 20 years has been placed in the group B of the final phase of the Africa Cup of Nations in its category at the end of a draw made yesterday.
00:29In addition to Morocco, the African champion in 1997, this group includes the selection of Nigeria, Egypt and South Africa.
00:37The final phase of the Africa Cup of Nations of less than 20 years will take place from April 26 to May 18 in Ivory Coast.
00:44Group A includes Ivory Coast, the highland of the competition, the second representative of the Union of Central African Football Federations, the Democratic Republic of the Congo, Ghana and Tanzania.
00:57While Group C, consisting of Senegal, holding the title of the competition, Zambia, Kenya and Sierra Leone, the four best teams will obtain their qualifications for the FIFA World Cup of Nations of less than 20 years, which will take place in Chile from September 27 to October 19, 2025.
01:15It's a good group of good teams. Nigeria, which has won the Cannes several times. Egypt, which we know well. South Africa, which is developing very well at the young level.
01:23So I think it's a really good group. Interesting, because it's going to be good games.
01:28Now, honestly, the only thing I didn't want was to be in the group of five. Group A, being with five teams and having one more game.
01:37That's the only thing I was asking for. Now that we're in a group of four, we're satisfied, happy, because we've been working with this generation for two years now.
01:46We're working to get there and try to win the Cannes. Our goal is clear from the start. We know that if we want to achieve our goal, we're going to have to beat everyone.
01:56In the end, I'm not really interested in who we're playing against. The ideal is to prepare well and play match after match.
02:03We're going to have to prepare well by analysing the opponent. Who's going to be up against us? We'll always have the ambition to win this game.
02:11In our heads, it's clear. We know what we want in the end, but we also know what path we have to take, to focus on each game.
02:18Whether it's Nigeria, Egypt, Senegal or the Ivory Coast, it's the same for us.
02:23Still on the side of the heart, the Moroccan team, under 17 this time, has inherited group A from the final phase of the Africa Nations Cup.
02:32This group includes, in addition to the Atlas, Uganda, Tanzania, Zambia and the Cannes U17s, which will be held from March 30 to April 19 in Morocco.
02:41With the participation of 16 nations, group B includes Burkina Faso, the top-ranked team at the end of the qualifying tournament,
02:50the Union, the Football Federations of Central Africa, South Africa and Egypt.
02:56Group C includes Senegal, Gambia, Somalia and Tunisia.
03:02Group D includes Mali, Angola, Ivory Coast and the second representative of the UINFFAC.
03:11The last two qualifying places for the World Cup will be awarded at the end of the tie-breaking games between the teams that finished third in their group.
03:21The Moroccan women's team from Futsal, on its side, has been placed in group A of the Africa Nations Cup.

03:34Group B of this tournament, which will take place from 22 to 30 April next year in Morocco, includes Angola, Egypt and Guinea.
03:42While group C is made up of Madagascar, Tanzania and Senegal.

06:33thanks to a double-decisive Bryce Mendes,

06:40Also to be noted was the victory of Ajax Amsterdam in Saint-Gilles against the Royal Union

07:53Cristiano Ronaldo remains the best-paid athlete in the world

08:03the website specializing in the sports industry,
08:07the Portuguese striker Dal Nassar remains at the top of the ranking compared to 2023,

08:19who reached a little over 153 million dollars,
08:22followed by the British boxer Tyson Fury and his 147 million dollars in total.
08:27The press, however, deplores the absence of women in the top 100
08:30because if the American Coco Goff is the best-paid woman in the world
08:35with 30.4 million dollars,
08:37she does not appear in the ranking,
08:39whose 100th place is occupied by the quarterback of the Minnesota Vikings,

10:01in the quarterfinals, 6-2, 6-4.
10:04Despite a few light shivers in the Marseille fans
10:07when the tricolor seemed to shake,
10:09the Russian quickly put the hangers back in place,
10:12notably thanks to winning services at the right time.
10:15The match was therefore mastered by Medvedev,
10:18very effective in his service with 90% of the points

10:23without being flamboyant after a failed start to the season.
