ZURICH : Fifa has lifted its suspension on the Republic of Congo's football federation three months after it was imposed over third-party interference in its affairs amid a dispute with the country's sports ministry, the global governing body said yesterday.
The long-standing dispute had resulted in the closure of some sports facilities and the Congo federation's headquarters.
Days after the suspension was introduced, sports minister Hugues Ngouelondele had said they would get in touch with Fifa to discuss lifting the ban.
Fifa, which had set a number of conditions for lifting the suspension including the return of full control of the federation's headquarters to Fecofoot, said the requested conditions had been met.

Cunha coup: Man United trigger £62.5m clause to land Wolves hitman
MANCHESTER, June 2 — Manchester United have agreed a deal to sign Matheus Cunha from Wolverhampton Wanderers, the two Premier League clubs said yesterday, with the Brazil forward joining on a five-year contract. United triggered the 26-year-old's release clause, which was worth around £62.5 million (RM358.7 million), a team source said. The Old Trafford club also have the option of extending his contract by a year. Cunha has scored 33 times and provided 15 assists in 92 appearances for Wolves, with 15 of those goals coming in the Premier League this season. He becomes United's first summer signing. 'Manchester United has reached agreement with Wolverhampton Wanderers for the signing of Matheus Cunha. The Brazilian forward's signing is subject to visa and registration,' United said in a statement. The transfer is a record sale for Wolves, eclipsing the £53 million they received from Manchester City for midfielder Matheus Nunes in 2023. 'Everyone at Wolves would like to thank Matheus for his contributions in old gold and wish he and his family the best of luck for the future,' the West Midlands club said. Wolves had signed Cunha on an initial loan deal from Spanish side Atletico Madrid in December 2022 before signing him on a permanent four-year contract. In February, Cunha agreed a new deal to extend his stay at Molineux until 2029. He started his senior career at Swiss club Sion before joining Germany's RB Leipzig in 2018 and then moving to German second-tier side Hertha BSC in 2020. United finished 15th in the Premier League with 42 points. — Reuters

Glory in Paris: Jubilant PSG parade Champions League trophy after historic 5–0 final win
PARIS, June 2 — Paris Saint-Germain players, staff and fans stretched their Champions League celebrations deep into Sunday evening as they finished a day of festivities in the French capital at a packed and delirious Parc des Princes stadium. Players sung and danced and waved the trophy on their home pitch as music blared and star Parisian rappers performed before a jubilant crowd. The well-wishers included tennis player Novak Djokovic, hours ahead of his fourth-round match at nearby Roland Garros, and disgraced former French President Nicolas Sarkozy. After thrashing Inter Milan by a record 5-0 in Saturday evening's final, the squad flew into Paris from Munich at just before 4pm (1400 GMT). They then set off on a triumphal procession on an open-top, double-decker bus. They were greeted along the route by crowds of jubilant supporters. Waving flags and letting off flares, they savoured their club winning the biggest prize in European club football for the first time. The players brandished the trophy and addressed the crowd as they drove. After parading down the Champs Elysees, coach Luis Enrique and his team went to a reception at the Elysee palace hosted by French President Emmanuel Macron who lavished praise on the team. 'You are the champions and you have put Paris at the top of Europe,' he said. 'There were 11 of you on the field, but there was clearly a twelfth man — the entire French public, regardless of traditional allegiances,' said Macron, in a nod to his own loyalty to PSG's rival, Olympique de Marseille. An estimated 11.8 million viewers watched the game on French television as PSG became just the second French side to become European champions, after Marseille in 1993. Post-match violence The president however condemned the violence which had marred the victory celebrations across France on Saturday night. Police made nearly 600 arrests across France, the interior ministry said, after more than 200 cars were torched and police clashed with youths. In the south-west town of Dax, a 17-year-old boy died after being stabbed in the chest. A 23-year-old man riding a scooter in central Paris also died after being hit by a vehicle. A policeman was in an induced coma after being injured by a firework. The violence quickly became a political football in France on Sunday as parties on the right and left took the opportunity to criticise the handling of the celebrations. 'Nothing can justify what has happened in the last few hours, the violent clashes are unacceptable,' said Macron. 'We will pursue, we will punish, we will be relentless.' 'The day of glory' PSG concluded their day's festivities with a party at their Parc des Princes home ground. Each player walked onto the pitch to a different song and each received a standing ovation. Club captain Marquinhos, who joined the club in 2013, was the last to take centre stage, holding one handle of the trophy as club president President Nasser al-Khelaifi held the other. 'After all these years, I can cry now, this is the day of glory!' Marquinhos said, before telling the crowd: 'We love you. Enjoy it! We are European champions!' Even the club president received praise, with the crowd cheering: 'Thank you Nasser.' Qatar Sports Investments, which al-Khelaifi chairs, has pumped hundreds of millions of euros into PSG since buying it as an ailing club in 2011. Over the last couple of seasons they have turned their back on their former policy of signing stars such as Neymar and Lionel Messi and focussed on young French talent, such as 19-year-old Desire Doue, scorer of two goals on Saturday. PSG had lost their only other appearance in the final five years ago but after Saturday's triumph, said they had the taste for victory now. 'The objective now is to win again,' al-Khelaifi said after the game. 'It has taken 14 years of hard work but we are building something for the future.' — AFP

After years of heartbreak and billions spent, Qatar's PSG finally conquer Europe with record-breaking Champions League triumph
MUNICH, June 1 — After almost 15 years of huge investment, frequent disappointment and occasional humiliation, Paris Saint-Germain got their hands on the Uefa Champions League trophy on Saturday, allowing their Qatari owners to bask in the glory of an emphatic triumph. PSG could not win European football's biggest prize in previous seasons with Zlatan Ibrahimovic, or later with Neymar and Kylian Mbappe, and even after that when they added Lionel Messi to the mix. But they have done it now after shifting the focus away from signing glamorous superstars and letting a brilliant coach in Luis Enrique work with a hungry, dynamic young team. PSG have been Europe's best side in 2025, but the display against Inter Milan in Munich topped it all as they romped to a 5-0 victory, the biggest win in the final in the competition's history. It was ultimately worth the long wait for the Gulf owners who arrived in 2011 when Qatar Sports Investments (QSI) bought an ailing club. Qatar got the perfect World Cup final in 2022, when Messi's Argentina beat Mbappe's France on an epic night in Doha, and now Qatari-owned PSG have the most stunning Champions League final win. It is easy to forget now, but they lost three of their first five games in the tournament this season. 'We had a difficult start. Everyone criticised us and doubted us. Lots of people didn't believe in our project,' PSG president Nasser al-Khelaifi told broadcaster Canal Plus. 'The objective now is to win again. It has taken 14 years of hard work but we are building something for the future.' Khelaifi, who is close to Qatar's ruler and holds several influential positions in football including as chairman of the European Club Association, was beaming as he celebrated with the trophy. The first of many?

It surely won't take over 30 years for PSG to win another Champions League, especially as this thrilling young side should now stay together for a long time. The average age of their starting line-up on Saturday was under 25 and their oldest player is Marquinhos at 31 — he has been there since 2013. 'I have suffered and I have grown with this team,' the Brazilian told broadcaster M6. 'My thoughts are with all the players who played here but were not able to win it.' It has required 14 years, eight coaches, and over two billion euros (RM9.7 billion) spent on transfer fees for QSI to get here. In the last 12 campaigns before this season, PSG reached one final, losing to Bayern Munich in Lisbon in 2020. There were two semi-final defeats, but there have also been humiliating collapses in the last 16 against Barcelona in 2017, Manchester United in 2019 and Real Madrid in 2022. 'I said when I came in that the objective was to win important trophies, and the only one missing was the Champions League,' said Luis Enrique, appointed in 2023. Club World Cup the next target After Abu Dhabi-owned Manchester City's victory two years ago, also against Inter, it is another triumph for a club with mega-rich Gulf owners.

Their revenue last year of just over 800 million euros made them the third-richest club in analysts Deloitte's Football Money League. They sat behind only Real and City, and just ahead of traditional European aristocrats United, Bayern and Barcelona. PSG's last reported annual wage bill was close to double Inter's entire revenues. The difference with past years is that they are now spending the money more intelligently, on the likes of Saturday's two-goal hero Desire Doue, Joao Neves and Khvicha Kvaratskhelia. Luis Enrique and sporting director Luis Campos recently signed new contracts with the club who also won all three available titles in France this season. PSG will now take away more than 100 million euros just in prize money from winning the Champions League, and there is the chance for more glory and riches as they head to the highly lucrative Fifa Club World Cup in the USA. Qatar-owned PSG's quest for domination will not stop with Europe. 'I think it is an incredible competition,' said Luis Enrique, whose side face Atletico Madrid in Los Angeles in two weeks' time. 'Our aim is to be competitive and to try to win a fifth trophy of the season.' — AFP
