Abu Dhabi, UAE – April 2025: Abu Dhabi is soon to host one of the most thrilling nights of the year as the Arenacross World Tour Finals descend on Etihad Arena on Saturday, July 5. With the championship on the line, the world's best indoor motocross racers and freestyle riders will battle for glory in front of an electrified crowd.
THE WORLD'S BEST RIDERS ARE HEADING TO ABU DHABI
Representing the prestigious AX World Tour Championships, a powerhouse lineup of elite competitors is set to bring a fierce mix of speed, skill, and raw talent.
Leading the charge is Dean Wilson, the current Arenacross championship front-runner. A former AMA motocross champion and one of the most respected riders on the global stage, the Scottish star, riding for Honda Wilson, has built a career on grit, resilience, and winning under pressure. Wilson's return promises to be nothing short of spectacular.
Joining him is British talent Tommy Searle, a multi-time Motocross Grand Prix winner and the 2023 Arenacross champion, now riding for Triumph. Known for his technical brilliance and fearless edge, Searle commands both the racetrack and the respect of fans worldwide.
From France, Cedric Soubeyras brings championship pedigree as the reigning French Supercross champion and a multiple-time Arenacross titleholder. Piloting his Kawasaki with relentless aggression and precision, Soubeyras is famous for keeping fans—and fellow racers—on their toes.
Also lining up is Jack Brunell, the 2024 Arenacross Champion and a true innovator in the sport. Brunell made history as the first rider in the world to claim a professional motocross championship aboard an electric bike, solidifying his place as a forward-thinking force to be reckoned with.
Also competing are some of the sport's most consistent and decorated riders: Thomas Ramette (France), a three-time UK Arenacross Champion; Adrien Escoffier (France), a two-time French Supercross Champion; Conrad Mewse (UK), the 2013 FIM Junior Motocross World Champion; Joan Cros (Spain), a multiple Spanish national champion and regular AMA Supercross contender; Adam Chatfield (UK), a former UK Arenacross and Brazilian Motocross Champion; and Matt Bayliss (UK), the 2022 AMCA 125 Champion and Weston Beach Race winner.
Together, these athletes represent the very best of global motocross talent, each bringing their legacy, fire, and fight to the final round in Abu Dhabi.
WHY YOU NEED TO BE THERE
Arenacross World Tour isn't just a race. It's a show-stopping, high-octane experience. Three hours of edge-of-your-seat entertainment combine indoor motocross racing, gravity-defying Freestyle Motocross (FMX), pyro, lasers, and a heart-thumping soundtrack. Riders launch 40ft into the air, flipping their bikes over 100ft gaps in a breathtaking battle of stunts and bravery. The louder the crowd, the bigger they go.
Your ticket includes trackside access, athlete meet-and-greets, and exclusive chances to grab selfies and autographs. For superfans, the Trackwalk Experience offers a rare behind-the-scenes look, complete with a private FMX demo just for you.
And if that's not enough, every ticket holder is automatically entered into a lottery to win a 2025 Husqvarna TC 85 19/16, a high-performance motocross bike built for young riders with big dreams. One lucky fan will walk away with the ultimate prize.
Expect live music, t-shirt cannons, a fan-fueled atmosphere, and a full-throttle night for families, thrill-seekers, and anyone who loves the roar of engines and the rush of competition.

David Ancelotti Appointed as Botafogo's Head Coach

Rana Atef Brazilian club Botafogo officially announced on Tuesday the appointment of Davide Ancelotti, son of renowned coach Carlo Ancelotti, as the new head coach of the first team. This will be Ancelotti's first experience as a head coach. Davide previously worked as an assistant to his father at top clubs including Real Madrid, Everton, Napoli, and Bayern Munich. He also recently joined the Brazilian national team's coaching staff in preparation for the 2026 World Cup, where he is set to continue working as an assistant during the upcoming tournament. Botafogo is owned by American businessman John Textor, head of the "Eagle Football" group. The club recently dismissed coach Renato Paiva, despite his success in leading the team to the Round of 16 at the Club World Cup, where they narrowly lost to Palmeiras 1-0 in extra time. Paiva had earlier led Botafogo to an impressive win over Paris Saint-Germain during the tournament. It's worth noting that Davide Ancelotti was also a candidate for the managerial role at Scottish club Rangers before they opted to appoint Russell Martin instead. read more Japan Stun Spain 2-1 to Qualify for World Cup Last 16 World Cup 2022: Get to Know Confirmed Line-ups of Japan and Spain Group E Decider Saudi Arabia Bid Farewell to World Cup after 2-1 Loss to Mexico Tunisia Achieve Historic Win over France but Fail to Qualify Tunisia to Clash against France in World Cup Sports Get to Know Squad of Group D Teams in World Cup Sports Al Ahly Gift EGP 70,000 to Players After Claiming Egyptian Super Cup Title Sports Bencharki Hits First 2 Goals with Al Jazira Since Leaving Zamalek Sports Arsenal Possible Line-up for Nottingham Forest News Israeli-Linked Hadassah Clinic in Moscow Treats Wounded Iranian IRGC Fighters News China Launches Largest Ever Aircraft Carrier Sports Former Al Zamalek Player Ibrahim Shika Passes away after Long Battle with Cancer Videos & Features Tragedy Overshadows MC Alger Championship Celebration: One Fan Dead, 11 Injured After Stadium Fall Lifestyle Get to Know 2025 Eid Al Adha Prayer Times in Egypt Business Fear & Greed Index Plummets to Lowest Level Ever Recorded amid Global Trade War News "Tensions Escalate: Iran Probes Allegations of Indian Tech Collaboration with Israeli Intelligence" News Flights suspended at Port Sudan Airport after Drone Attacks Videos & Features Video: Trending Lifestyle TikToker Valeria Márquez Shot Dead during Live Stream Technology 50-Year Soviet Spacecraft 'Kosmos 482' Crashes into Indian Ocean

No love lost as Rangers say they will not give Celtic a guard of honour

Celtic's Daizen Maeda celebrates scoring their first goal REUTERS/Russell Cheyne/File Photo (Reuters) - Rangers will not give arch rivals Celtic a guard of honour when the Scottish champions visit Ibrox Stadium for Sunday's Premiership match, interim boss Barry Ferguson has said, keeping the fierce rivalry very much alive. Celtic clinched a 13th Scottish Premiership title in 14 seasons last weekend when Brendan Rodgers's side took an unassailable lead with four games to spare. Celtic also drew level with Rangers on 55 Scottish league titles each, a feat that will sting the blue half of Glasgow ahead of the Old Firm Derby. "It (guard of honour) has never happened in the past and there's been this huge clamour about it," Ferguson told Sky Sports. "If I put myself in the shoes of a champion, it wouldn't really bother me. "I think if you ask any of the Celtic players, I don't think it would bother them either. It's always been that way. Let's just continue that way." It was the same case when Steven Gerrard's Rangers clinched their 55th title in the 2020-21 season, with Celtic's then-interim boss John Kennedy saying they would not even clap their rivals who denied them a 10th straight title. "But one thing I will do is I will shake Brendan's hand and say, 'Well done for being so dominant,' as there's no doubt that's been the case this year and that's got to hurt," Ferguson added. "It certainly hurts me and the staff and it's got to hurt the players as well." Celtic's manager was relaxed either way about a guard of honour. "It's not in the rules that you have to do it. I think that when two clubs and the rivalry's so emotional, it's always difficult for the team that comes up short," said Rodgers, who has won four Premiership titles with Celtic in two stints. "I always think if you're a champion or not a champion, showing that humility to the other team, whatever the rivalry is, it's a mark of respect. "Celtic-Rangers is an emotional rivalry and if you come up short quite a lot then it can be a challenge for you and to justify that with your supporters. But, as I said, I'm a traditionalist." England, however, will stick with tradition. Chelsea boss Enzo Maresca confirmed on Friday that his side would give newly-crowned Premier League champions Liverpool a guard of honour at Stamford Bridge when they meet on Sunday.
