Algeria crowned unbeaten champions as Bahrain wrap up with win over Kuwait
Bahrain finished the 26th Men's Arab Basketball Championship on a high last night with a 89-74 win over Kuwait, with Mustafa Hussain posting 20+ points yet again. Algeria sealed the title on Friday but gave a stunning encore at Khalifa Sports City—joining the Bahraini crowd to dance, chant, and celebrate in a true show of Arab unity. On the court, Bahrain came out flying. Having lost to Algeria just one day prior, the hosts weren't about to let Kuwait spoil their send-off. Mustafa Hussain Ali led with 21 points and 8 assists, while Wayne Chism controlled the paint with 15 rebounds and 2 blocks. Bahrain outscored Kuwait in three of the four quarters, with Ahmed Khalifa and Ahmed Salman chipping in 28 points between them. Kuwait, who finished the tournament winless, leaned on Abdulrahman Al Shammari's 28-point outburst and Abdulaaziz Alhamidi's 18. Algeria Crowned Unbeaten Champions Earlier, Algeria capped off their unbeaten run with a 78-70 win over former champions Egypt, who had struggled for consistency throughout the tournament. Sedoud Chakib, again dominant, poured in 25 points and earned Man of the Match honors. Egypt's Moamen Tareq had 18, but it wasn't enough to spoil Algeria's crowning moment. Egypt's Ibrahim Hisham praised Bahrain's hosting, calling the rapid turnaround after Tunisia's withdrawal 'nothing short of remarkable.' Final Podium Locked The day began with Tunisia fending off a late surge from Qatar to win 79-72. Oussama Marnaoui, who led with 21 points, said post-game the team 'finally clicked' after early struggles—including a Day 1 loss to Algeria. Djan Janik scored 32 for Qatar in a losing effort. With this win, Tunisia finished the championship in 2nd place. The Emiratis did not feature in yesterday's matches, but they stood in 3rd place on the podium.

Goalkeeper Trafford returns to Man City from Burnley
Goalkeeper James Trafford has signed a deal to return to Manchester City from Burnley, the Premier League giants announced on Tuesday. Man City activated a £27.5 million ($36.7 million) buyback clause for the 22-year-old England youth international, according to British media reports. Trafford, who never played for the City senior team during his first spell at the Etihad Stadium, left for Burnley in 2023. He struggled in his first season as the Clarets were relegated from the Premier League, but equalled an English football record with 29 clean sheets last term to help Burnley earn promotion back into the top flight. 'This is the place I call home -- it's a truly special football club with fantastic people who make it such a unique place t o w o r k and play,' he said in a statement.
