Right before the FIFA World Cup semi-finals, the sports journalists’ associations of England, Argentina, Spain and France are sending a message of support to French sports journalist Christophe Gleizes, a contributor to the French magazine, @sofoot. The four associations — @UJSFoff, @periodistasAEPD, @FAPEDArgentina and the SJA — are calling for the release of their colleague, who has been detained in Algeria since June 2025. @AIPSmedia and @AIPSEurope naturally join this appeal. At a time when football brings people together and embodies the universal values of freedom, respect and solidarity, we refuse to accept that a journalist should be imprisoned for his work. On the occasion of the semi-finals, our thoughts are with Christophe. 🇫🇷🇪🇸🇦🇷🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿 🔗 Read more via link in thread, and follow @RSF_inter #FreeGleizes #ChristopheGleizes #FIFAWorldCup #pressfreedom #sportsjournalism

🇪🇸 I spent a week at the Gay Games. Amid a heatwave and organisational issues, it wasn’t exactly the “dream” LGBTQ sports event that was once predicted. But the athletes and supporters still made Valencia 2026 memorable. For @outsports #GayGames 🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍⚧️ outsports.com/2026/7/6/24138…
