Nouveau siège de la Fécafoot : l’impossible chantier devenu symbole

À Yaoundé, dans le quartier Warda, une silhouette moderne domine désormais le paysage administratif du football camerounais. Dès ce 12 mai 2026, la Fécafoot inaugurera officiellement son nouveau siège. Ce projet n'est pas nouveau. Pensé et conçu par un seul homme Iya Mohamed, il avait étalé son plan après sa réélection en 2009. Ce bâtiment

Au moins neuf personnes ont été tuées et une dizaine enlevées lors d’une nouvelle attaque du groupe djihadiste ADF dans l’est de la République démocratique du Congo, selon les chiffres de la société civile. Le groupe armé a pris pour cible la localité de Makumo dans le territoire de Mambasa, en Ituri. Un territoire déjà endeuillé un peu plus tôt la semaine dernière par une attaque similaire, encore une fois attribuée aux ADF. grenadier.co.za

La Fédération internationale de football (FIFA) a entamé, lundi 11 mai 2026, à Zurich, le processus officiel de réception des listes préliminaires des sélections engagées pour la Coupe du monde 2026, prévue du 11 juin aux États-Unis, au Canada et au Mexique. Pour cette édition historique marquée par la participation de 48 équipes, les fédérations nationales doivent transmettre une liste provisoire comprenant entre 35 et 55 joueurs, dont obligatoirement quatre gardiens de but. Ces listes, destinées uniquement à un usage interne, ne seront pas rendues publiques par l’instance mondiale.

La FIFA a également fixé au 2 juin la date limite du dépôt des listes définitives. Celles-ci devront
comporter entre 23 et 26 joueurs, avec un minimum de trois gardiens. Une fois validées, elles ne pourront être modifiées qu’en cas de blessure grave ou de maladie, et ce jusqu’à 24 heures avant le premier match de chaque sélection. Durant la compétition, seuls les gardiens pourront être remplacés à tout moment en cas d’urgence médicale, une mesure visant à garantir la continuité sportive tout en assurant une gestion flexible des effectifs. À travers ce dispositif, la FIFA entend encadrer strictement la préparation des équipes tout en préservant l’équité et l’intégrité de la compétition mondiale.

The Tanzania U-17 national team have continued intensifying preparations for the TotalEnergies CAF U-17 Africa Cup of Nations (U-17 AFCON) in Morocco, with the squad holding training sessions at the Lydex 2 ground in Rabat ahead of their opening Group C match against Mozambique on May 14.

The young Tanzanian side has now shifted full focus to the tournament after completing two important international friendly matches in Casablanca against Cameroon and Ivory Coast.

The Serengeti Boys began their preparations on a high note with an impressive 3-1 victory over Cameroon, a result that boosted confidence within the camp. Goals from Sadam Hussein, Razaki Mbengelendi, and Abbas Said secured the win in a performance that highlighted the team’s attacking quality and determination.

However, Tanzania later suffered a 2-0 defeat against Ivory Coast in another friendly encounter, a match that head coach Elieneza Nsanganzelu described as an important learning experience ahead of the competition.

Speaking ahead of the group stage matches, Nsanganzelu said the friendly games helped his players understand the intensity and quality required at the continental level.

“The important thing was the preparation process,” said Nsanganzelu. “We faced teams with a high football level, great speed, and strong pressure. These are the conditions we expect in the tournament, so the matches gave us valuable lessons.”

The coach admitted that the gap in physicality and match intelligence between some of Africa’s top youth teams and East African football remains a challenge, but he believes his squad has made significant progress during camp.

“There are many positives we have seen from the players. The big work is already done, and now our focus is on the first match against Mozambique,” he added.

Tanzania have been drawn in a competitive Group C alongside Mali, Angola, and Mozambique. After opening their campaign against Mozambique, the Serengeti Boys will face Angola on May 17 before concluding the group stage against Mali on May 20.

U-17 AFCON kicks off on Wednesday

The 2026 edition of the U-17 AFCON features 16 teams divided into four groups, with the tournament bringing together some of the continent’s most talented young players. Fixtures from Group A and Group B begin the tournament on Wednesday, May 13.

As the countdown to kickoff continues, hopes are growing that the Serengeti Boys can make a stronger impact this year and move beyond the group stage for the first time in the competition’s history.

Myles Lewis-Skelly is adamant Arsenal know better than anyone what they must do to secure the club’s first Premier League title in more than 20 years.

Arsenal close in

The Gunners moved closer to being crowned champions of England for the first time since 2004 following a 1-0 win at West Ham on Sunday but only after the hosts had a stoppage-time equaliser ruled out following a lengthy VAR review.

Victory left leaders Arsenal five points clear of second-placed Manchester City, with two games to play — at home to already-relegated Burnley and away to Crystal Palace before the Gunners face Paris Saint-Germain in the Champions League final on May 30.

“We have to stay humble,” said teenage rising star Lewis-Skelly, now back in Arsenal’s starting line-up after spending much of the season on the sidelines.

“(The dressing room is) just joy, excitement, fulfilment — everything you can describe,” he explained. “We are buzzing, but we know that the job is not done.

“We have got two more (domestic) ‘finals’ (against Burnley and Palace) left now, and we have to take each game as it comes. The next one is Burnley — and then we go on from there.

“As players, as a fan myself, it’s easy to think about what could be. But, it is important that we stay in the moment. We have to stay on it.”

Lewis-Skelly enjoyed a breakthrough campaign last season but struggled to secure a place in Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta’s side until he was given a chance against Fulham earlier this month and he has started every game since.

Lewis-Skelly – ‘I pride myself on having mental strength’

“It was tough initially,” he said.

“But, for me, I pride myself on having mental strength. Sport is not one pathway, because there are ups and downs. And it’s how you bounce back from that, and how you are in those moments when you face adversity. That is what defines you.

“I spoke with my family and friends. I just told them, ‘I don’t want to hear all the noise that is coming from social media. Let me stay in this moment, let me continue to face this adversity and let me come out the other side of it’.”

“He (Arteta) told me, ‘You are going to play in midfield, so go for it’. So, that is what I did. And I had to be bold and play with courage, because that is what this league demands,” he added.
