Where are each of the 10 players named by the Confederation of African Football as the best young African player of the year? 1 Pape Matar Sarr The latest wonderkid to clinch the award, Pape Matar Sarr was something of a surprise winner—especially as he squeezed out Kamaldeen Sulemana for the prize. The starlet was a member of the Senegal squad that won the Africa Cup of Nations, albeit as a peripheral figure, and was also relegated with FC Metz. He’s certainly talented, but the award was a strange recompense for a tough year. 2 Alex Iwobi A third consecutive…

Carlo Ancelotti has slammed critics of Vinicius Junior and says the Real Madrid star is the most “persecuted” footballer in history. The Brazilian was criticised for pushing RB Leipzig’s Will Orban to the floor in their midweek Champions League draw, something he was booked for. The forward was repeatedly whistled at by Valencia’s supporters in Madrid’s 2-2 draw last weekend – nine months on from being racially abused by fans at the Mestalla last season. Now, Los Blancos manager Ancelotti has emphatically backed the 23-year-old in an impassioned rant. He told reporters on Friday: “I’ve looked back a bit, at history, at…

Apple has abruptly reversed a decision to ban Epic Games, the maker of “Fortnite,” from launching its own app store on iOS in Europe — just a day after European Union officials said they were investigating the matter. It’s the first major test of Europe’s new digital competition rules that went into force on Thursday, and it highlights how the Digital Markets Act may already be having an impact on consumers just a day after going into effect. Apple relenting means Epic will be able to bring “Fortnite” back to iPhones in Europe, Epic said in a blog post. “Fortnite” has been…
A ship carrying desperately needed humanitarian aid is expected to set sail this weekend, bound for Gaza. The Spanish vessel, Open Arms, is scheduled to depart from Cyprus – the closest EU country to Gaza – and hopes to use a newly opened shipping route.

The UN says a quarter of the Strip’s population is on the brink of famine and children are starving to death. The ship, expected to reach Gaza in the next few days, belongs to the…

Winnie the Pooh: Blood and Honey has swept the board at the Razzie Awards, winning five of the 10 categories.

Sylvester Stallone’s Expend4bles also picked up two awards. Announced the day before the Oscars reward Hollywood’s finest, the Razzies name and shame the year’s worst films. The organisers describe their awards as the “ugly cousin to the Oscars”. When it was released last year, the Pooh film received a string of downright awful…

Jose Mourinho was in attendance to witness Anthony Joshua fight Francis Ngannou in Riyadh just hours after presenting the trophy at Egypt Cup final. Mourinho received the biggest cheer of the night from fans in an otherwise flat atmosphere at the Kingdom Arena during the showdown fight between Joshua and Ngannou. After his unceremonious sacking from AS Roma, the Portuguese manager has made the most of his free time by flying out to the Middle East, where his presence garnered significant attention amongst fight fans.

Panama Football Federation president Manuel Arias made the comments after the 26-year-old criticised the country’s facilities following her side’s exit at the Concacaf W Gold Cup in February.
