Beautiful World cup song, they don’t make them like this anymore. This was 16yrs ago.

The Senegalese 🇸🇳 delegation gets this treatment on arrival in the USA. Full tarmac searches, shoes off, bags turned inside out like criminals. This is straight up humiliation and a disgrace. They’d never put white boys through the same.

How far will Africa's 10 representatives go at this #FIFAWorldCup?

Every once in a while, a story emerges that reminds us why investment in sports development matters. Congratulations to @zadokYohanna_ on his remarkable move to Brighton & Hove Albion. His journey is a powerful example of what can happen when talent is matched with opportunity, guidance, and the right environment. Not long ago, Zadok was playing football in Kaduna, pursuing his dream with determination and resilience. Today, he has earned a place at one of the most competitive levels of the game, inspiring countless young people across Kaduna State and Nigeria. While we celebrate his achievement, we must also recognize the responsibility it places on all of us. Success stories like this should not be rare exceptions. They should become a consistent outcome of a deliberate system that identifies, nurtures, and develops young talents across our communities. This is why the ongoing efforts of the Kaduna State Government under the leadership of His Excellency Sen. @ubasanius to strengthen sports development remain so important. Through investments in sports infrastructure, the renovation of key facilities, collaboration with the @NatSportsComm under the leadership of Mallam @ShehuDikko , and policies designed to create more opportunities for young athletes, we are working towards a future where many more young people can follow similar pathways. Kaduna is blessed with an abundance of talent. Our task is to provide the structure, support, and platforms that allow that talent to flourish. Zadok Yohanna's achievement is a proud moment for Kaduna State and a reminder of what is possible when dreams are given a chance. Congratulations, Zadok. May this be the beginning of an even greater journey, and may your success inspire the next generation of young athletes across our state. @OfficialBHAFC

Greatest World Cup in history yet.

“In line with previous FIFA events, a host government ultimately determines who receives a visa and who is admitted into their country.”

Yet Somalia is on a travel ban list introduced by President Trump’s administration. 🗣️ “FIFA is not involved in host country immigration processes, including visa adjudications, and has been informed by authorities that Mr Artan's status will not be changed at present.

FIFA confirm Omar Abdulkadir Artan can’t officiate at the World Cup after being denied entry into the United States. The Somali referee is one of Africa’s most respected officials. Somalia's Ministry of Youth and Sports say Artan travelled with a valid US visa.
