RSL: Idrissa Gana Gueye ready to lead from front as Diriyah Club make promising start
RIYADH (Sports News): Following a historic promotion to the top tier of Saudi football, Diriyah Club have announced their arrival in the Roshn Saudi League (RSL) with a strong statement of intent, both on the pitch and in the transfer market.To equip themselves for the demands of the RSL, the Diriyah-based outfit strengthened their squad impressively and appointed an elite manager in Bruno Lage, a Primeira Liga title winner in Portugal with Benfica who has also coached Wolverhampton Wanderers in the English Premier League.Headline additions to the team include Uruguay international, and former Liverpool striker, Darwin Nunez on loan from Al Hilal, French midfielder Enzo Millot on loan from AFC Champions League Elite holders Al Ahli, and ex-Everton and Paris Saint-Germain (PSG) midfielder Idrissa Gana Gueye following his summer exploits with Senegal at the 2026 FIFA World Cup.The early signs have been encouraging: Diriyah Club have won three and drawn two of their opening seven RSL matches to head into the international break eighth in the table.A key part of their promising start to the season has been the quality and experience of midfielder Gueye, with Senegal’s record appearance-maker determined to bring his leadership and mentality to his new club.Gueye, 36, told the Saudi Pro League: “Throughout my career, I've had to face tough competition, good times as well as bad times. With my experience, I can help the team achieve its goals. But leadership isn't just about saying the right words, it's a behaviour you must show both on and off the pitch. With the help of my teammates, we will do good things and try to take the club as far as possible.”Gueye arrived in the RSL following a trophy-laden career at club and international level. A three-time Ligue 1 winner with Lille and PSG, he was integral to Senegal’s run the final of the 2022 Africa Cup of Nations. In 2022, Gueye was awarded the Grand Officer of the National Order of the Lion, Senegal’s highest recognition.Yet, after 15 years competing at the elite level of European football, Gueye welcomed the opportunity of a fresh challenge in Saudi football.He said: “I felt it was the right time for me because the club has a great project. It's a historic club that has a very close relationship with the history of the Kingdom and its identity. So, it was the right time for me to come here, with the Roshn Saudi League having welcomed many great players, great coaches, and many big personalities.”Leading Gueye and his Diriyah Club teammates is a manager who also knows what it takes to succeed. Installed in July, Lage is now tasked with delivering on the club’s ambitions - and it’s a responsibility the Portuguese is fully embracing.Lage told the Saudi Pro League: “It was a great honour to accept His Highness Prince Khalid bin Mohammed’s offer to join this project and build the foundations of the club.“When I heard about this project, I was sure it was the right step for my career. With my experience, and with the experience of the squad from what they have achieved in the past two years, we are here to improve every area and, ultimately, be the best club we can be.“We know we have a deep history and identity behind us, but at the same time, we have a great vision and ambition in front of us. We are working very hard to build a team that inside the pitch represents the real values of Diriyah.”The cultural and historical significance of the club is certainly recognised by those on the pitch. A hero in last season’s promotion charge, Saudi midfielder Hussain Al Qahtani believes representing Diriyah provides unique motivation as his team adapts to the demands of the RSL.Al Qahtani said: “It is an immense feeling of pride to represent Diriyah Club. Diriyah is the birthplace and origin of Saudi Arabia - a place of deep significance for every Saudi citizen. Because of that heritage, there is a massive responsibility on everyone who represents this club and this ecosystem, and we are determined to rise to that challenge.“Our goals have always been big. We achieved our first objective by earning promotion to the Roshn Saudi League. Now, our focus is on taking things step by step, building on our momentum, and securing strong results in the top flight this season.“As players, we have to stay resilient. Success doesn't come without setbacks, injuries, or difficult moments. The key is never to give up, focus on the fundamentals, and set a high standard that inspires the younger generation coming through behind us.”

Montpellier, Macao and Chengdu to Host ITTF World Cup in 2027
Islamabad (Sports News): Table tennis has spent the last two years building towards a moment like this. The emotion of Paris 2024. The confirmation that doubles and mixed team will join the Olympic programme at LA28. A sport growing faster, and reaching further, than at almost any point in its history. As the ITTF marks its centenary year, it gave that momentum a calendar.In the south of France, the Sud de France Arena will spend 29 March to 4 April 2027 hosting the world's best players, as the ITTF Singles World Cup returns to French soil for the fourth time, and for the first time in Montpellier. It arrives at exactly the right moment: French table tennis has rarely felt this alive, carried by the afterglow of Paris 2024 and a new generation of players, Félix and Alexis Lebrun chief among them, capturing a nation's attention. It has been over three decades since Jean-Philippe Gatien became the only Frenchman to ever win a World Cup singles title. Montpellier 2027 gives home fans their first real chance since to dream of a new one. The event also opens the centenary year of the host, the French Federation of Table Tennis (FFTT), giving a century of French table tennis history its own homecoming.Macao, China, has spent the last three years proving it belongs on the World Cup calendar, hosting the ITTF Singles World Cup in 2024, 2025 and 2026. Those editions have delivered three different men's champions in three years, Ma Long, Hugo Calderano and Wang Chuqin, while Sun Yingsha has claimed all three women's titles in a row. In 2027, the city is handed something it has never had before: the first-ever ITTF Doubles World Cup, happening from 19 to 25 April 2027. The timing is no accident. With men's and women's doubles returning to the Olympic programme at LA28, the discipline needed a stage of its own, somewhere it could build its own champions and its own rivalries ahead of the Games. Macao, China a proven host with a track record to match, was the natural choice.Since its launch in 2023, the ITTF Mixed Team World Cup has belonged to one team. China has won every edition staged in Chengdu, and the city will continue to host the event for a fifth consecutive year in 2027. From 28 November to 5 December, the 2027 edition will carry a new weight: for the first time, results will count towards Olympic qualification for LA28, where mixed team makes its Games debut. What has been a China showcase for three years now becomes a genuine qualification battle, with every other team given fresh reason to chase the champions down.Together, the three events chart the shape of table tennis heading into the LA28 Olympic countdown."We are on track to deliver our goals for LA28, and this calendar shows exactly how. In Montpellier, we bring the World Cup to France once again, and to the city for the very first time, at a moment when the sport has never been more popular there. In Macao, China, Men's, Women's and Mixed Doubles will share a World Cup stage together for the first time, as the discipline returns to the Olympic programme. And in Chengdu, the Mixed Team World Cup carries genuine Olympic qualification ahead of its own debut at the Games. Table tennis will feature six medal events at LA28, more than any other racket sport on the programme, and each of these three World Cups plays its part in getting us there. As we build on the momentum of our centenary year, I look forward to what 2027 will bring for our sport," said ITTF President and IOC Member Petra Sörling.
