Gold medals went to teams from Turkmenistan in two age groups. Among athletes born in 2012, the "Batly" team took first place, and in the category born in 2014, the "Gökje" team won. Both Turkmen teams beat five opponents in their groups. "Gökje" midfielder Amanmurad Rejepov especially distinguished himself, who was recognized as the best player of the tournament.
In the age group born in 2009, the "Çandybil" team from Ashgabat won silver medals. Turkmen football players lost only to the hosts of the tournament in the final match. "Çandybil" captain Amanmyrat Chariyev was recognized as the best striker in his age category.
From June 15 to July 11, the Turkmenistan swimming team successfully held a training camp in Batumi, Georgia. The main goal was to improve the sportsmanship of the participants before the upcoming Olympic Games in Paris, scheduled for the period from July 26 to August 11.
Let us remind you that at the Olympic Games in Paris, Turkmenistan will be represented in swimming by Musa Zhalayev (100 meters, freestyle) and Ainura Primova (100 meters backstroke).
12 Turkmen athletes trained at the training camp, organized under the guidance of experienced coaches Dmitry Novikov and Mark Pilyugin. A special training program ensured a high level of competitiveness for the participants before the upcoming competitions.
The men's team included David Akopyan, Musa Zhalayev, Seyran Nurmyradov, Muhammetmyrat Gutliyev, Alan Muhin and Kurban Hommadov.
The women's team was represented by Enesh, Ejesh and Ainur Primov, Anastasia Morginshtern, Ogulmerjen Nuraeva and Ainur Merdanova.
The European Championship and the America's Cup are already in the past. The main intrigue for the rest of the year: who will win the Ballon d'Or? The ceremony will take place at the end of October in Paris.
Journalists highly value Rodri. Vinicius made his situation worse after the America's Cup
According to Goal.com, the main contender for the Ballon d'Or is Manchester City midfielder Rodri. Last season, he and the club won the English Championship, the Club World Cup and the UEFA Super Cup. And a few days ago he received a gold medal at the European Championship and the title of best football player of the tournament.
On the second line of the Goal rating is Real Madrid striker Vinicius Junior.
Here is what they write about the South American: “When the Brazilian solved his problems with his physical form, he showed himself perfectly. A hat-trick in the Super Cup final with Barça, a productive game in La Liga, outstanding performances in decisive matches of the Champions League. However, this summer things didn't go according to plan. Vinicius scored twice against Paraguay in the group stage of the Copa America, but then earned a ban for the quarter-finals.
As a result, he watched from the stands as his team lost in a penalty shootout. This appears to have opened the door for another Ballon d'Or contender.
Rounding out the top three is Jude Bellingham.
The best footballer of the first half of the 2023/2024 season, he not only scored often, but also did it in important matches. The hype around the Englishman died down somewhat at the start of 2024, partly due to Jude missing matches due to injury and suspension. However, he confirmed his bid for the Ballon d'Or with his tireless performance at the end of the season. Jude helped knock Manchester City out of the Champions League and again scored the winner in El Clasico. He scored two important goals at the Euro, especially the overhead kick that allowed the England team to go into overtime and then not be eliminated from the tournament at the ⅛ final stage.
Victory in the final would certainly have led to Jude's first Ballon d'Or, but now he will most likely have to settle for a place in the top three.
Don’t forget the fourth European 2024 champion with Spain, winner of the Champions League and La Liga with Real Madrid, Dani Carvajal.
The top 5 is completed by America's Cup top scorer Lautaro Martinez. There was still room in the top ten for Toni Kroos, Kylian Mbappe, Harry Kane, Phil Foden and Nico Williams. Is Messi on the list? Yes, he is in 16th place. But Cristiano Ronaldo is not even in the top 20.
The “Merv” football club goes to training camps in the Turkish city of Bolu. The training camp will be held from July 19 to 31. The delegation includes 24 players and 11 official representatives of the club.
In preparation for the new season, “Merv” will play a number of friendly matches. One of the rivals will be the Azerbaijani club “Turan Tovuz”, which was recently headed by the famous Turkmen specialist Kurban Berdyev.
A game is also planned against “Pendikspor”, representing the Turkish First League.
The season for “Merv” will officially resume on August 17. In the 19th round of the Major League of Turkmenistan, the team will go to visit “Nebitchi”. Based on the results of two rounds of the Turkmenistan Championship, “Merv” takes 5th place, gaining 21 points in 16 matches.
The tournament table is headed by “Arkadag” with 48 points. Next come “Altyn Asyr” (37 points), “Ahal” (34 points) and “Shagadam” (24 points).
The Altyn Asyr football club from Ashgabat, which conducts training camps in the Romanian city of Brasov, successfully held its first international friendly match. The Turkmen team met with Metaglobus, representing the second division of the Romanian championship, Jankoyer.com.tm reports.
The match ended with a minimal victory for Altyn Asyr with a score of 1:0. The only goal was scored in the 22nd minute from a penalty kick by midfielder Murat Annaev.
This game became part of Altyn Asyr’s preparation for the upcoming qualifying round of the second AFC Champions League. The decisive match for reaching the group stage of the tournament will take place on August 14 in Kolkata, where the Turkmen team will meet with the Indian club East Bengal.
As the source notes, during the training camp in Romania, Altyn Asyr will play several more friendly matches.
The Football Association of England (FA) has officially announced the resignation of Gareth Southgate from the position of head coach of the national team, reports matchtv.ru.
The 53 years old specialist has led the English team since 2016, having played 102 matches during this time. Under his leadership, the England team achieved significant success, winning silver medals at two major tournaments - EURO 2020 and EURO 2024.
Despite the fact that Southgate's contract ran until the end of 2024, the coach decided to leave his post early. This decision followed the final match of EURO 2024, in which the English lost to Spain with a score of 1:2.
In his nearly eight years in charge, Southgate has managed to take the England national team to the next level, creating a strong and competitive team. His departure marks the end of an important era in the history of English football and leaves the FA tasked with finding a worthy successor.

Serial SUVs
Andrey Sushentsov and Alexander Shchanov from the S&A Racing team won the T2 serial SUV category. The second place was taken by representatives of the "Turkmenavtoulaglary" agency, brothers Merdan and Shohrat Toyliyev, and the crew of the Automobile Sports Federation of Turkmenistan under the control of pilot Maksatmyrat Danatarov and navigator Didar Orazmedov took third place.
A record number of tickets have been sold for the 2024 Summer Olympics in Paris, said the head of the tournament's organizing committee, Tony Estanguet.
Two weeks before the start of the Games, more than 8.6 million tickets have been sold.
— The record belongs to the 1996 Games in Atlanta - 8.3 million tickets, and we have long since surpassed this milestone. To date, 8.6 million tickets have been sold for the Olympic Games and more than one million for the Paralympics. We are proud that we have already broken the record, but we can achieve higher figures,” Estangue was quoted as saying by AFP (Agence France-Presse).
It is noted that the organizing committee predicts that the total number of tickets sold will reach 10 million.
The Olympic Games will be held in Paris from July 26 to August 11. Turkmenistan will be represented by six athletes at the Olympics in Paris.
The 14th edition of the race became a new test for the participants - it was the high-speed first part of the marathon stage, after overcoming which the crews had to independently maintain the equipment.
The tenth stage of the Silk Road Rally connected Bayankhongor and Mandalgobi. The total distance was 562.86 km.
The tenth stage was held in a marathon format: mechanics and assistance crews remained at the bivouac, while the athletes had to independently repair the equipment in case of an accident or malfunction. At the same time, the stage took place along very high-speed steppe roads and winding rocky routes, which required increased attentiveness of navigators and filigree skills of pilots.
Another victory for Danatarov's crew
Maksatmyrat Danatarov today won the T2 series off-road vehicle classification, beating Mikhail Mityaev by a little over six minutes. The top three at the stage were closed by Andrey Sushentsov, the leader in the overall standings.

The second place is still occupied by representatives of the Turkmenavtoulaglary agency, brothers Merdan and Shohrat Toylyev, the crew of the Turkmenistan Automobile Sports Federation under the control of pilot Maksatmyrat Danatarov and navigator Didar Orazmedov is in third place. Next in the classification are Mikhail Mityaev and Meilis Abdullaev.
