World Cup 2026 (Q): Guinea to host Algeria in Casablanca, Morocco
Syli National relocates its showdown with the Fennecs for matchday 8 of the qualifiers. World Cup 2026 (Q): Guinea to host Algeria in Casablanca, Morocco Guinea will take on Algeria on Monday, September 8, 2025, at the Mohammed V Complex in Casablanca as part of matchday 8 of the 2026 World Cup qualifiers. The match has been relocated to Morocco due to the unavailability of the Conakry stadium. Guinea is once again forced to play its home matches outside its borders due to ongoing infrastructure issues. The Conakry stadium failed to receive approval from the Confederation of African Football, as it does not meet the standards required for official competitions. As a result, Feguifoot has officially announced that this clash will take place in Morocco, after considering Abidjan and then Tunis as alternatives. The Syli National will host Algeria on September 8 on the pitch of Casablanca's Mohammed V Complex. Before this pivotal match, Guinea will face Somalia on September 5 at the Mandela National Stadium in Kampala, while Algeria will host Botswana. Currently fifth in Group G with 7 points, Guinea must win these games to keep their qualification hopes alive.

Ireland 'assessing next steps' after Israel draw
Basketball Ireland says it is "assessing next steps" after being drawn with Israel in a European qualifier. Ireland are set to face Israel, along with Luxembourg and Bosnia-Herzegovina, in 2027 EuroBasket qualifying in November. Basketball Ireland says it has spoken to Fiba Europe, European basketball's governing body, and is "extremely alarmed by the ongoing humanitarian situation in Gaza" and is awaiting "clarifications on a number of matters". It also says it will liaise with players, staff, the Irish government and other stakeholders. In a statement released on Wednesday, Basketball Ireland says it would be fined 80,000 euros if it does not fulfil the fixture on 18 November, and would face an additional 100,000 euro fine if it did not participate in the return fixture. It says Ireland would also be removed from qualifying and be banned from the 2029 EuroBasket qualifiers. A 30,000 euro fine would be imposed if Ireland elected to withdraw from qualifying before it starts, but Fiba Europe might impose additional sanctions and has the power to exclude teams from future competitions. Qualifying is set to take place over two windows in November 2025 and March 2026. It is not the first time Ireland have been drawn to face Israel since the ongoing conflict in Gaza started in October 2023. Ireland refused to shake hands with Israel and stood at the side of the court for the national anthems in a 2025 EuroBasket qualifier in February 2024. When Irish players raised concerns before that qualifier, Israel player Dor Saar said the Ireland team was "quite antisemitic". Israel coach Sharon Drucker also said Ireland "did not respect" what the game symbolises, while Basketball Ireland said Saar's comments were "inflammatory and wholly inaccurate", and reported the remarks to European basketball's governing body Fiba Europe. Ireland were warned by Fiba for their protest, and players stood for the anthems on court and shook hands with Israel's players in a second EuroBasket qualifier between the sides in Riga in November. Fiba have been contacted about Basketball Ireland's statement. BBC News coverage of the Israel-Gaza war
