Morocco 🇲🇦 Minister of Youth, Culture and Sports, Mohamed Mehdi Bensaid, has announced the activation of approximately 800 LOCAL SPORTS PITCHES this year as part of efforts to expand access to sporting facilities across the country. The initiative is primarily targeting rural communities and the outskirts of major cities, responding to increasing demands from local authorities and residents for improved sports infrastructure. Bensaid made the announcement on Wednesday while presenting his ministry’s sub-budget proposal before the Committee on Education, Culture and Communication at the House of Representatives.

Egypt 🇪🇬 Ministry of Youth and Sports has partnered with Right to Dream to establish five regional football development centres as part of a national initiative to identify and nurture young talent across the country. The agreement was formalised on Tuesday through a cooperation protocol signed by Youth and Sports Minister Gohar Nabil and Right to Dream International Academy chairman Sir Mohamed Mansour. Under the initiative, five regional centres will be established and operated across Egypt, providing young footballers with access to professional training, education and other development opportunities. According to a statement from the Egyptian Government, each centre will feature football pitches, fitness facilities, classrooms, medical facilities and accommodation. Operations will begin in phases. Right to Dream Academy started from Ghana. Hehehehehe

The Parliamentary Select Committee on Sports has indicated that it agrees with and understands many of the issues following its meeting with the GFA President and the Executive Committee. Yet, some people are still unhappy with that position. What many of you refuse to accept is that FACTS can be BORING, especially when they don't align with your preconceived opinions or preferred narratives. Not everything has to fit your expectations. Sometimes, the TRUTH is simply inconvenient.

The Soweto Derby is more than just a football match; it is a football culture. Filling the FNB Stadium to capacity whenever @orlandopirates take on @KaizerChiefs has become part of the spectacle surrounding this historic rivalry. The highest historical attendance for a Soweto Derby is estimated at 120,000 spectators at FNB Stadium in 1986. In the modern, post-renovation era of the stadium, formerly known as Soccer City, the record attendance stands at 94,807, set on August 1, 2015, during the Carling Black Label Cup clash between the two giants. Interestingly, these were periods when South African national teams were struggling to make a significant impact, while South African clubs were not exactly dominating continental football. Consider this too: Kaizer Chiefs last won the South African league title in 2015, while Orlando Pirates ended their league title drought last season, winning it for the first time since 2012. Yet, these prolonged trophy droughts have never diminished the appeal, passion or attendance of the Soweto Derby. The rivalry has continued to attract massive crowds regardless of the clubs' fortunes on the pitch. That is the point people need to understand before drawing comparisons with our own football rivalries here in Ghana. The Soweto Derby is built on history, identity, culture, community, rivalry and an emotional connection that goes beyond winning trophies. Understand the history and significance of the Soweto Derby before comparing it to ours. There is much more to it than just the number of spectators in the stadium.
