The last hour announces news that will delight more than one: Gianni Infantino has called an extraordinary FIFA congress for this Friday, a few hours before the draw for the 2022 World Cup. His goal? Reintegrate Italy, European champion, yet eliminated in the play-off once morest North Macedonia. “For his second World Cup (he has been president of Fifa since 2016), he does not want to live a second World Cup without Italy and his four stars on the shirt, especially following his coronation at the Euro” , indicates the DH. “He was sensitive to the arguments of Leonardo Bonucci, who criticized the qualification system, and the holding of the play-offs in a single match. Infantino’s idea is simple: pick up 16 play-offs?” and finally make a World Cup with 48 teams rather than 32.
Newspapers SouthInfo announce the recruitment of the French-speaking Minister of Sports, Valérie Glatigny, by the football club Fémina White Star Woluwé. A new challenge that will allow her to better observe from the inside the development of female sports practice because, as she recalls in the columns of the newspaper, “sport is subsidized by the public authorities but women do not benefit from it as much. only men”. His first training is scheduled for next week.
The future announces for its part, in its national pages, a multitude of mergers of municipalities, like that – very real – of Bertogne and Bastogne. In Walloon Brabant, Wavre and Jodoigne will become one: Michelville. Something to clarify the situation “since the Michel family has been raining and shining in the region for decades”. In the same logic, Bièvre and Vresse-sur-Semois are considering combining their forestry and tourist resources and calling themselves Clarinvresse-sur-Semois, in a nod to “the omnipresence of the Clarinval clan”. On the side of the Tihange nuclear power plant, Huy, Wanze, Amay and Villers-le-Bouillet are preparing to unite under the name of Thiode-sur-Meuse, a “medically preventive” name. In Hainaut, the municipalities of Brugelette, Ath and Jurbise are still hesitating regarding their new common name: Pairi Daiz’Ath, Pairi Galant or Pairi Brugeza, unless Pandaville wins the day. The neighboring entities of the “smallest city in the world” might, they, ally under the name of Coucke-en-Ardenne.
