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.

Antonio Conte’s Napoli passed a big test of its Serie A leadership with a 2-0 win at AC Milan on Tuesday.
Romelu Lukaku and Khvicha Kvaratskhelia scored first-half goals at the San Siro and Napoli opened up a seven-point lead over defending champion Inter Milan, which visits Empoli on Wednesday, The Associated Press reported.
Lukaku muscled a defender to the ground before scoring from the center of the area early on. Then Kvaratskhelia dribbled past two defenders before launching an angled shot into the far corner before the break.
Milan center forward Alvaro Morata had a potential goal waved off for offside early in the second half.
Milan is eighth, 11 points back.
Napoli returns to the San Siro in less than two weeks to face Inter. The Partenopei have rebounded strongly after a 10th-place finish last season and are in position to earn their second title in three years.
Conte was hired in June after Napoli went through three different coaches last season.
Napoli hasn't lost since falling 3-0 at Hellas Verona in its season debut on Aug. 18.
Also, Bologna won 2-0 at Cagliari with goals from Riccardo Orsolini and Jens Odgaard; and Lecce beat nine-man Hellas Verona 1-0 with a goal from Patrick Dorgu.
