Liverpool forward Mohamed Salah has announced he will leave the club at the end of the season.

Zinedine Zidane will succeed Didier Deschamps as France national team head coach in the summer, with a verbal agreement already reached between the former Real Madrid star and the Fédération Française de Football (FFF), sources have told ESPN.

Didier Deschamps' departure from the France national team after 14 successful years has been the worst-kept secret in French football, and Zidane, who finished his second stint as Los Blancos manager in 2021, has long been destined for the role.

Ghanaian boxing rivals Seth Gyimah, popularly known as Freezy Macbones, and Jonathan “Worldwide” Tetteh have mapped out an ambitious path towards a high-stakes rematch later this year, with Kumasi firmly in their sights.

The pair, former national amateur teammates turned fierce professional rivals, are first set to return to action on April 5 when they co-headline the “Resurrection Fight Night” at the Laboma Beach Resort in La on Easter Sunday.

But beyond their immediate assignments, both men are already eyeing a lucrative second showdown following their gripping first encounter last December.

Former Black Stars captain and head coach Charles Kwablan Akonnor has urged the national team’s technical handlers to begin closely monitoring in-form midfielder Enock Morrison, insisting the Gor Mahia star’s performances are becoming too compelling to ignore.

While acknowledging that the timing may not yet be ideal for an immediate call-up, Akonnor believes Morrison has done enough to warrant serious consideration as Ghana fine-tunes its squad ahead of the 2026 FIFA World Cup.

The 26-year-old, a former Asante Kotoko midfielder, has been a standout performer in the Kenyan Premier League, delivering a remarkable 15 Man-of-the-Match displays in just 25 appearances. His form has been central to Gor Mahia’s charge to the top of the table, where they sit on 56 points — seven clear of their closest challengers.

The Border School Park, popularly known as CEPS Park, in Aflao, came alive last Saturday night as a thrilling night of boxing capped celebrations marking the end of Ramadan.

On the Ghana-Togo frontier, fans packed the venue for the 2026 Ramadan Eid Fight Night, a high-energy showcase featuring some of the nation’s brightest prospects alongside fighters from across West Africa.

Ghana international Antoine Semenyo has set his sights on more silverware after lifting his first major trophy in England, helping Manchester City to a 2-0 victory over Arsenal in the Carabao Cup final at Wembley last Sunday.

In doing so, Semenyo became only the second Ghanaian to win the competition, following Michael Essien’s triumph with Chelsea in 2007 — a landmark moment that underlines the winger’s rapid rise since his January move from Bournemouth.

Barely ten weeks into his Manchester City career, Semenyo is already a cup winner, but he insists this is only the beginning.

Former Black Stars assistant coach Mas-Ud Didi Dramani has backed calls for England-born duo Eddie Nketiah and Callum Hudson-Odoi to be integrated into Ghana’s national team set-up, insisting their quality is undeniable and their international allegiance should be handled with care.

Dramani, who was part of Otto Addo’s technical bench at the 2022 FIFA World Cup in Qatar, revealed that efforts were made to recruit both players ahead of the tournament, though those attempts proved unsuccessful at the time.

Top seed, Ahmad Abdul-Samad,  delivered a commanding performance to claim a brilliant double, while Rachael Quarcoo reaffirmed her dominance in the women’s game at the 2026 All Ghana Badminton Open Championships, which concluded in style at the Borteyman Sports Complex in Accra over the weekend.

In a tournament that showcased Ghana’s rising depth in badminton, the two standout performers swept aside all challengers across two action-packed days, leaving no doubt about their status at the summit of the sport.

Ghana’s road to the 2026 FIFA World Cup is entering a decisive phase, with this week’s high-profile friendlies against Austria and Germany shaping up as a crucial audition for the Black Stars’ fringe players — and a final polishing ground for the established core.

With less than three months to kick off in North America, head coach Otto Addo has assembled a 26-man squad that largely reflects the spine expected to feature at the Mundial, barring the injured Mohammed Kudus, who remains in a race against time to be fit for the June 11–July 19 tournament.

Manchester City Manager, Pep Guardiola may have added a more cerebral dimension to football management but he had a confession.

“I’m not yet artificial intelligence,” said the Manchester City manager. “I’m a human being and I can celebrate.” 

For Guardiola, the emotion of a Carabao Cup final win was apparent in his own booking for running out of his technical area. Given Guardiola’s unpredictability, replicating his thought process might be beyond even AI.

For the Catalan, defeating Arsenal at Wembley was the sort of result that was rooted in the unexpected element of football. 

Senegal midfielder, Idrissa Gueye has accused the Confederation of African Football (CAF) of sowing division within Africa, following the organization’s decision to award Morocco the 2025 Africa Cup of Nations title.

Speaking after Everton’s 3–0 Premier League victory over Chelsea on Saturday, Gueye stated he is willing to return the AFCON gold medals to Morocco in an effort to reduce tensions.

The Minister for Sports and Recreation, Kofi Iddie Adams, has set out a reform agenda anchored on transparency, accountability and stakeholder engagement, as he seeks to restore public confidence in Ghana’s sports sector.

There is no hiding place for a manager when decisions go against them and Mikel Arteta's choice to stick by cup goalkeeper Kepa Arrizabalaga will be one that haunts him.

The 11th edition of the Sheikh Sharubutu Ramadan Cup kicks off today at the Madina Astro Turf in Accra, with organisers praising former Vice-President Mahamudu Bawumia for his continued support of the annual Zongo community football tournament.
