Bahrain Basketball Team Returns To William Jones Cup After 47 Years
Bahrain's national men's basketball team is set to participate in the 44th edition of the William Jones Cup, scheduled to take place in Taiwan from July 12 to 20. The tournament is organised by the Chinese Taipei Basketball Association (CTBA). First launched in 1977, the William Jones Cup is one of the most prestigious unofficial international basketball competitions. It is named after Renato William Jones, a key founding figure of the International Basketball Federation (FIBA), who played a significant role in the global development and promotion of the sport. The tournament brings together national teams, university squads, and club sides from around the world, offering a platform for high level competition and exposure to diverse playing styles. It serves as a valuable preparatory opportunity for teams ahead of continental and international competitions. Bahrain's participation in this year's tournament aligns with the Bahrain Basketball Association's strategy to elevate the performance of the national team. The initiative seeks to enhance player readiness by engaging with elite level opponents and gaining exposure to varied tactical approaches. The tournament also holds historical significance for Bahrain's basketball community. In 1977, Renato William Jones visited the Kingdom of Bahrain at the invitation of Shaikh Ali bin Khalifa Al Khalifa, who was then President of the Bahrain Basketball Association. His visit was to attend the opening of a mini basketball festival, marking an early milestone in Bahrain's commitment to developing the sport. This marks Bahrain's second appearance in the William Jones Cup, following its debut in the 1978 edition, during which the team received the Fair Play Award. Source Bahrain News Agency

Which team has the best chance of winning IPL 2025 Fair Play Award?
In a tournament often defined by high-octane finishes, nail-biting chases, and fierce rivalries, the IPL Fair Play Award stands out as a symbol of cricket's core values—discipline, respect, and sportsmanship. As IPL 2025 nears its climax, attention is not only on the playoff race but also on which team will walk away with this prestigious honour. At the top of the current fair play table are the Punjab Kings, who have quietly but consistently upheld the spirit of the game throughout the season. With 124 points from 12 matches and a league-best average of 10.33, they've set the gold standard for conduct on the field. Close behind are seasoned campaigners like Chennai Super Kings and Sunrisers Hyderabad, who are still in the hunt thanks to their composed leadership and respectful gameplay. Meanwhile, IPL 2025 points table leaders Gujarat Titans, sitting at the bottom with an average of 8.83, have the least chance of bagging the Fair Play honour. Kolkata Knight Riders, Royal Challengers Bengaluru, and Lucknow Super Giants are also lagging, with averages below 9.3—suggesting that their high-intensity game plans may have occasionally impacted their fair play scores. POS Team Matches Average Points 1 Punjab Kings 12 10.33 124 2 Chennai Super Kings 13 10.23 133 3 Sunrisers Hyderabad 12 9.92 119 4 Mumbai Indians 13 9.85 128 5 Rajasthan Royals 14 9.79 137 6 Delhi Capitals 13 9.77 127 7 Lucknow Super Giants 12 9.25 111 8 Royal Challengers Bengaluru 12 9.17 110 9 Kolkata Knight Riders 13 8.92 116 10 Gujarat Titans 12 8.83 106 How the IPL Fair Play Award is decided The IPL Fair Play Award is given annually to the team that adheres best to the spirit of the game throughout the tournament. This award is not based on match results but rather on the conduct of the team, including its players and support staff, during each match. Umpires are the sole judges of fair play points and award them based on a fixed set of criteria after every game. Points system Each team can earn a maximum of 10 points per match. These points are divided as follows: 4 points for playing in the spirit of the game 2 points for showing respect to the opposition 2 points for respecting the laws of the game 2 points for showing respect towards the umpires If a team only partially meets a criterion, they may receive 1 point instead of 2, and in case of poor conduct, they may get 0 for that section. Average system explained Since not all teams play the same number of matches at the same time in the league phase, the average points system is used to rank teams fairly. The average is calculated using this formula: Fair Play Average = Total Fair Play Points / Number of Matches Played This ensures that a team is not unfairly advantaged or penalised simply because it has played more or fewer matches than others at any point in the tournament. Final consideration At the end of the league stage (and playoffs), the team with the highest average fair play points wins the Fair Play Award. In case of a tie, overall conduct and qualitative assessment may be considered, but usually, the average system suffices to determine the winner. This award is a reflection of a team's sportsmanship and discipline and is seen as a prestigious honour, regardless of the team's position on the points table.

TotalEnergies U-20 AFCON 2025: Best XI unveiled as South Africa dominate
Published: Monday, 19 May 2025 South Africa's golden generation of rising stars were handsomely rewarded for their triumph at the TotalEnergies CAF U-20 Africa Cup of Nations Egypt 2025, as the CAF Technical Study Group (TSG) announced the official Best XI of the tournament. Unsurprisingly, newly crowned champions South Africa led the way with four players selected in the tournament's best team, including standout goalkeeper Fletcher Lowe and playmaker Tylon Smith, who was also named the Best Player of the tournament. Lowe, who made the most saves (24) during the competition, was instrumental in keeping three clean sheets, including one in the final against Morocco. His safe hands and calm distribution laid the foundation for South Africa's historic first U-20 AFCON title. Midfielder Tylon Smith, who was the playmaker of his team, capped off a stellar campaign by scoring the winning goal in the semi-final against Nigeria. His ability to dictate play and rally his team in pressure moments earned him the Best Player award and a key role in the tournament's Best XI. Morocco, runners-up in the final, had four players included in the XI – Othmane Maamma, Hossam Essadak, Hamza Koutoune and Faycal Zahouani – a reflection of their strong, possession-based approach throughout the competition. Sierra Leone's Momoh Kamara, who finished as the tournament's top scorer with four goals, was also included, while Egypt's Mohamed Goweily, Nigeria's Daniel Bameyi, and South Africa's Neo Rapoo and Lazola Maku completed the elite lineup. Coach of the tournament honours went to South Africa's Raymond Mdaka, whose tactical discipline and faith in youth delivered a maiden continental crown for the Amajita. 🏆 Recap: Best XI of the Tournament (1-4-2-3-1): Fletcher Lowe (South Africa) Neo Rapoo (South Africa) Mohamed Goweily (Egypt) Othmane Maamma (Morocco) Daniel Bameyi (Nigeria) Lazola Maku (South Africa) Hossam Essadak (Morocco) Faycal Zahouani (Morocco) Hamza Koutoune (Morocco) Momoh Kamara (Sierra Leone) Tylon Smith (South Africa) Best Player: Tylon Smith (South Africa) Top Scorer: Momoh Kamara (Sierra Leone) – 4 goals Best Goalkeeper: Fletcher Lowe (South Africa) Best Coach: Raymond Mdaka (South Africa) Fair Play Award: Morocco
