CAF updates AFCON 2025 records with Morocco as Champions

The Confederation of African Football has officially updated its records to name hosts Morocco as the champions of the 2025 Africa Cup of Nations. Checks on CAF website by PUNCH Online on Monday show that Morocco are now listed as the winners of the TotalEnergies CAF AFCON Morocco 2025, with Senegal recorded as runners-up. Nigeria are placed third. The update follows a ruling issued on March 18 by CAF’s Appeals Board, which overturned the on-field result of the January 18 final in Rabat. Senegal had initially defeated Morocco 1-0 in extra time, with Pape Gueye scoring the winner. The West Africans won after a chaotic sequence that included a brief walk-off by the Senegalese players in protest over a controversial stoppage-time penalty awarded to Morocco. Scuffle among...

Lebron James breaks NBA appearance record as Lakers win thriller

LeBron James has broken the NBA record for most regular-season games played, taking the court for his 1,612th in the Los Angeles Lakers last-gasp 105-104 victory against the Orlando Magic. The 41-year-old basketball icon's appearance on Saturday night took him one clear of the mark of 1,611 held by Robert Parish since his retirement in 1997. James was already the record-holder when factoring in his 292 playoff appearances, which brings his total up to 1,904 games. It was a victorious record-breaking game as well, with the Lakers winning 105-104 off a game-winning 3-pointer from Luka Kennard. James finished the game with 12 points on 5-of-13 shooting, 6 rebounds, 4 assists, and 3 steals. James, playing his unprecedented 23rd season, already holds a host of NBA records, including...

BREAKING : Cristiano Ronaldo to Miss Portugal’s Upcoming Friendlies

Portugal captain Cristiano Ronaldo will be unavailable for the national team’s upcoming friendlies against Mexico and the United States as he continues to recover from a hamstring injury. Reports indicate that Ronaldo, 41, flew out of the Middle East amid the Gulf States conflict.

Liverpool condemns Konate abuse after Osimhen injury in Champions League clash

Liverpool F.C. have strongly condemned the racist abuse aimed at Ibrahima Konaté following his challenge on Victor Osimhen during their Champions League victory over Galatasaray. Konaté faced online backlash after a first-half collision with Osimhen in Wednesday’s 4-0 win at Anfield. The Nigerian forward initially continued playing but was substituted at half-time and later diagnosed with a fractured forearm. In response to the abuse, Liverpool issued a firm statement describing the behaviour as “completely unacceptable.” “It is dehumanising, cowardly and rooted in hate,” the club said. “Racism has no place in football, in society, or anywhere—online or offline. Our players are not targets; they are human beings. The continued abuse, often from anonymous accounts, is a stain on...

FIFA fines Israeli FA for anti-discrimination rules breaches

FIFA has fined the Israeli Football Association 150,000 Swiss francs ($190,700) for breaching its anti-discrimination rules, following findings that it failed to take adequate action against racist behaviour in domestic football. The decision followed an investigation launched after the Palestine Football Association submitted complaints in 2024 alleging discrimination. FIFA’s disciplinary committee concluded that the IFA did not meet its obligations, particularly in its handling of repeated incidents involving Beitar Jerusalem. According to the report, supporters of the club engaged in persistent racist conduct, including the use of discriminatory slogans and chants targeting Arab players. FIFA said the sanctions previously imposed on the club were “deficient and substantively i...
