The Saudi Ministry of Sport and Tunisia's Ministry of Youth and Sports have signed an executive program for cooperation in youth and sports for 2025-2026.

The program was signed on Wednesday in Tunis by Saudi Deputy Minister for Sports and Youth Affairs Abdulaziz bin Abdulrahman Al-Massad -- on behalf of Minister of Sport Prince Abdulaziz bin Turki bin Faisal -- and Tunisian Ministry of Youth and Sports Chief of Staff Chokri Ben Hassen, in the presence of Tunisian Minister of Youth and Sports Sadok Mourali and the Saudi Ambassador to Tunisia, Dr. Abdulaziz bin Ali Al-Saqr.

The two-year program aims to enhance cooperation in youth and sports, promote exchange visits for leaders and youth and sports delegations across related fields, and share successful experiences between sports federations, sports and youth administrations, and sports committees. It will also support coordination for training programs, workshops in sports media, and participation in conferences and scientific symposiums.

The agreement reflects the deep historic relations between Saudi Arabia and Tunisia and aligns with the ongoing efforts of the Ministry of Sport to strengthen international relations and cooperation with various sports entities, including the Tunisian Ministry of Youth and Sports, fostering the exchange of expertise and knowledge in youth and sports between the two nations.

Manchester City winger Savinho was carried off on a stretcher during the 2-1 loss at Tottenham in the English League Cup on Wednesday, adding to the injury crisis enveloping the Premier League champions.
“Tomorrow we have two ’keepers and Erling Haaland for a training session, the rest we don’t have,” City manager Pep Guardiola said, according to The Associated Press.
Savinho was in tears and consoled by teammates as he was being carried off the field in the 63rd minute after hurting his right ankle following a driving run into the penalty area.
Guardiola said the Brazil winger will find out on Thursday the extent of the injury. City also lost Manuel Akanji in the warmup, with the center back having been a doubt coming into the game because of a knee issue.
Rodri, Kevin De Bruyne, Jack Grealish, Kyle Walker, Jeremy Doku and Oscar Bobb were already on the injury list, while Guardiola said Ruben Dias has been playing through a problem.
Rodri, who won the Ballon d'Or award Monday, has been ruled out for the season with an ACL injury, while Guardiola said De Bruyne, Grealish and Walker wouldn't be back until after the next international break.
Guardiola said the injury situation was the worst he has experienced in his time at the club since arriving in 2016.
“We are 13 players," he said. "We are in real difficulty but we have to make the effort. The guys who played, most finished with problems and we will see how they recover.
“I think when we are in trouble like we are — because in nine years, I've never in this situation had this many injuries for this many reasons — in these situations, the players make a step forward. They are more together than ever.”
City leads the Premier League by a point from Liverpool after nine games.
Tottenham also picked up two injuries — to Micky van de Ven and Timo Werner. Van de Ven was a hamstring issue, coach Ange Postecoglou said, while Werner's might just have been fatigue.
