L'Unità: Mondiali 2026: tutte le 48 squadre qualificate, il ritorno di Iraq e Repubblica Democratica del Congo

Non ci sarà l’Italia ai Mondiali che si giocheranno la prossima estate tra Stati Uniti, Messico e Canada. Ancora una volta gli italiani guarderanno dal divano di casa i campioni in carica dell’Argentina di Messi, gli altri favoriti Spagna e Francia, i sempre fortissimi Brasile e Germania e Portogallo. E tutte le squadre rivelazione, le nazionali simpatia che a ogni occasione colorano l’immaginario e provano a dire la loro. Per la prima volta la manifestazione passera da 32 a 48 squadre, extra large.
L’altra lotteria dei rigori della serata ha sorriso invece alla Repubblica Ceca, che ha superato la Danimarca. Playoff ancora favorevoli alla Svezia che ha superato 3 a 2 la Polonia. Basta un gol alla Turchia per superare il Kosovo. 48esimo posto prenotato dall’Iraq, dopo lo spareggio intercontinentale dalla Bolivia. Prima volta dal 1986. Si qualifica invece dopo 52 anni la Repubblica Democratica del Congo: ha battuto la Giamaica 1 a 0 ai tempi supplementari a Guadalajara, in Messico. Seconda, storica qualificazione, dopo quella del 1974 quando il Paese si chiamava Zaire.
A questo punto il cartellone è completo: si giocherà dall’11 giugno al 19 luglio. Inaugurazione allo Stadio Azteca di Città del Messico, finale al MetLife Stadium di New York.

World Cup 2026: all 48 qualified teams, the return of Iraq and the Democratic Republic of the Congo

There will be no Italy at the World Cup, which will be held next summer in the United States, Mexico and Canada. Once again, Italians will watch from their homes the champions of Argentina, Messi, the other favorites Spain and France, the always strong Brazil and Germany, and Portugal. And all the surprise teams, the popular national teams that at every opportunity color the imagination and try to make their mark. For the first time, the tournament will go from 32 to 48 teams, extra large.

The other lottery of penalties of the evening smiled instead at the Czech Republic, which defeated Denmark. Playoffs still favorable to Sweden that defeated Poland 3-2. Just one goal was enough for Turkey to beat Kosovo. 48th place reserved for Iraq, after the intercontinental playoff from Bolivia. First time since 1986. Instead, the Democratic Republic of Congo qualifies after 52 years: it defeated Jamaica 1-0 in extra time in Guadalajara, Mexico. Second, historic qualification, after that of 1974 when the country was called Zaire.

At this point, the bracket is complete: it will be played from June 11 to July 19. Inauguration at the Azteca Stadium in Mexico City, final at the MetLife Stadium in New York.

Photo: Sia KAMBOU/AFP Agriculture Minister Bruno Kone announced the reduction to 1,200 CFA francs a kilo ($2, 1.82 euros) – which comes amid a fall in world cocoa prices and an oversupply crisis. “The price of cocoa on the international market is forcing us to make an adjustment,” Kone said. The Ivorian government sets the price of cocoa paid to its producers twice a year, but its latest announcement comes a month earlier than normal. The sector accounts for 14 percent of the west African country’s gross domestic product and around five million people depend on it for their living. In October, just ahead of his re-election, President Alassane Ouattara announced himself that authorities were setting the price at a record high of 2,800 CFA francs a kilo. But global cocoa prices, which went through the roof in 2024 before starting to drop in 2025, have plunged this year, meaning Ivorian cocoa cost much more than world market prices. After soaring to $12,000 per tonne in late 2024, the price per tonne on the world market is currently $2,900. “We would all have liked a better price, but you have all followed the trend in the international price,” the minister said Wednesday. ## Growers lose out Trade unionist Yao Yao, based in the western city of Duekoue, voiced disappointment the state was not doing more to offset “such a dizzying drop”. “Honestly, we’re not happy. We, the growers, are the ones who are going to lose out in this situation,” he told AFP. With Ivorian prices out of step with the world market price, exporters have delayed purchases in recent months, while some buyers have offered lower prices in return for immediate payment, sources have told AFP. In response to the hardship faced by producers, the state’s Coffee Cocoa Council announced in January it would buy at the record price tens of thousands of tonnes of cocoa piling up across the country. Kone told radio broadcaster RFI last week that 64,000 tonnes had since been purchased. Unionist Yao Yao said however that some farmers “still haven’t received any money”. Wednesday’s price adjustment follows that made by neighbouring Ghana, the world’s second-largest cocoa producer, which cut prices by 30 percent in mid-February. ::: > Ivory Coast, the world’s leading cocoa producer, cut the price paid to growers by nearly 60% to 1,200 CFA francs per kilo, citing a fall in global prices and an oversupply crisis. “The price of cocoa on the international market is forcing us to make an adjustment,” Agriculture Minister Bruno Kone said.

L'Unità: Il lungo viaggio di Zaynab Dosso: oro nei nei 60m ai Mondiali, prima italiana nella velocità

Significa “saggezza”, in arabo, il suo nome. Zaynab Dosso è la donna più veloce del mondo: sua una delle cinque medaglie del Mondiale indoor di atletica leggera in Polonia. Ed è diventata la prima italiana a vincere una medaglia d’oro in una gara di velocità tra Mondiali e Olimpiadi. A Torun ha vinto i 60 metri in 7” netti. Spedizione fortunata quella in Polonia, dove l’Italia è arrivata terza nel medagliere, con tre ori e due argenti, a conferma del momento speciale dell’atletica italiana.
Dosso ha 26 anni. È nata a Man, in Costa D’Avorio, nel settembre del 1999. È arrivata in dieci anni in Italia, nel 2009, per raggiungere la famiglia che ci si era trasferita sette anni prima. È cresciuta a Rubiera, in provincia di Reggio Emilia, e ha ottenuto la cittadinanza nel 2016. Già praticava atletica leggera. Dosso dal 2021 vive a Roma, dove si allena con Giorgio Frinolli.
Oro nei 60 metri ai Mondiali indoor di Torun, bronzo nei 60 metri ai mondiali a Glasgow nel 2024, argento a ai mondiali a Nanchino nel 2025, oro agli Europei di Roma nel 2025. A Torun, a febbraio, aveva stabilito il suo record, 6,99, il miglior tempo dell’anno – il record di Irina Privalova di 6,92 resiste dal 1993. Non era riuscita a qualificarsi alla finale dei 100 metri ai Mondiali di Tokyo nel 2025, anche i risultati dei Giochi di Parigi erano stati deludenti tanto da farla pensare addirittura al ritiro.
Al Corriere della Sera ha raccontato come il suo oro sia nato a Tokyo nel 2021, alle Olimpiadi Estive in Giappone, quando Marcell Jacobs vinse la medaglia d’oro nei 100 metri. “I bronzi iridati indoor e europeo a Roma mi hanno fatto capire che ero sulla strada giusta, poi ai Giochi di Parigi è andata male, sono entrata in crisi: fare un viaggio in Costa d’Avorio, dove sono nata, mi ha permesso di ritrovarmi come persona. Mi arrovellavo troppo, ho iniziato a fare pilates anche per fermare i pensieri. E sono arrivati gli ori di Apeldoorn e Torun”. A questo punto si dedicherà sulle competizioni della stagione all’aperto.

Zaynab Dosso’s long journey: gold in the 60m at the World Championships, first Italian in speed.

It means “wisdom,” in Arabic, the name she bears. Zaynab Dosso is the fastest woman in the world: she won one of the five medals at the World Indoor Athletics Championships in Poland. And she became the first Italian to win a gold medal in a speed race between the World Championships and the Olympics. In Torun, she won the 60 meters in 7” net. The trip to Poland was a fortunate one, where Italy came in third in the medal count, with three golds and two silvers, confirming the special moment in Italian athletics.

Dosso is 26 years old. She was born in Man, Ivory Coast, in September 1999. She arrived in Italy ten years ago, in 2009, to join her family who had moved there seven years earlier. She grew up in Rubiera, in the province of Reggio Emilia, and obtained citizenship in 2016. She already practiced athletics. Dosso has lived in Rome since 2021, where she trains with Giorgio Frinolli.

Gold in the 60 meters at the Torun Indoor World Championships, bronze in the 60 meters at the Glasgow World Championships in 2024, silver at the World Championships in Nanjing in 2025, gold at the Rome European Championships in 2025. In Torun, in February, she set her record, 6.99, the best time of the year – the record of Irina Privalova of 6.92 has stood since 1993. She was unable to qualify for the final of the 100 meters at the Tokyo World Championships in 2025, and the results of the Paris Games were so disappointing that she even considered retiring.

In Corriere della Sera, she told how her gold was born in Tokyo in 2021, at the Summer Olympics in Japan, when Marcell Jacobs won the gold medal in the 100 meters. “The iridescent bronze medals indoors and in Rome made me realize that I was on the right track, then the Paris Games went badly; I entered a crisis: taking a trip to Ivory Coast, where I was born, allowed me to find myself as a person. I was agonizing too much, I started doing pilates to stop my thoughts. And the golds of Apeldoorn and Torun arrived.” At this point, she will focus on the outdoor competitions of the season.

1/2 "A sacred drum looted by French forces during its colonial rule in Ivory Coast has been returned to the country, more than a century after it was taken.

‎It was seized by colonial authorities in 1916 before being taken to France in 1929, where it was put on display at the Trocadéro Museum and later at the Quai Branly Museum in Paris."
