Bassant Hemida Sets New Egyptian Record at Botswana Golden Grand Prix
Apr 13, 2025
Egyptian sprinter Bassant Hemida has set a new national record in the women's 400-metre race, finishing with a time of 50.77 seconds at the Botswana Golden Grand Prix held in Gaborone.
The competition is part of the World Athletics Continental Tour and regularly features international athletes. Hemida already held Egypt's national records in the 100 metres (11.02 seconds) and 200 metres (22.41 seconds). This win adds a 400-metre record to her name and highlights her development as a multi-distance sprinter. The 50.77-second finish places Hemida among the fastest athletes in the region for this event and signals growing momentum ahead of this year's international athletics calendar.
Hemida's participation in the Botswana meet comes amid broader efforts by Egyptian athletes to compete in high-level international competitions in preparation for the 2025 World Championships and the 2026 African Games.

Nantes striker Mostafa Mohamed in close talks with Saudi side NEOM: Report - Talents Abroad
Nantes striker Mostafa Mohamed is reportedly in advanced talks to join Saudi Pro League side NEOM SC, according to a report by Foot on Friday. The newly promoted Saudi club has reportedly opened discussions with the Egyptian international regarding his financial terms, ahead of submitting a formal offer to the French side. Nantes set price tag for Mohamed at 10 million euros, according to French media. Mohamed, whose contract with Ligue 1 outfit Nantes runs until June 2027, has recently been linked with several Egyptian Premier League clubs, including Ahly, Pyramids FC, and his former team, Zamalek. Currently taking part in Nantes' pre-season preparations, Mohamed scored a brace in a 2-0 friendly win over Stade Lavallois on 12 July and added another goal in a 2-1 defeat to Guingamp on 19 July. Since joining Nantes from Galatasaray on loan in July 2022, Mohamed has established himself as a key player, scoring 25 goals in 112 appearances across all competitions. He made his move permanent on 1 July 2023 in a deal worth 5.75 million euros. Nantes finished 13th in Ligue 1 last season, with Mohamed contributing five goals in 30 league appearances. On the international stage, Mohamed debuted with Egypt's senior national team in 2019, following an impressive spell with the U-23 squad. He has since earned 47 caps and scored 13 goals for the Pharaohs on different fronts.
