RABAT (MOROCCO) (ITALPRESS) – Moroccan gas has begun flowing in Tendrara. Sound Energy announced the start of the first flows from the TE-5 Horst development project, marking the transition to the pre-production phase for the LNG micro-unit currently under construction. In a statement, the British company stated that it has received confirmation from operator Mana Energy of the start of commissioning activities.

The final element of the collection system, the SCADA computer, was installed on November 28, allowing gas from the TE-6 well to successfully flow into the GGS. The LNG micro-unit, built and operated by Italfluid Geoenergy, will supply Afriquia Gaz under a ten-year “take-or-pay” agreement for 100 million cubic meters per year, with a price indexed between $6 and $8.346 per MMBtu, based on the TTF and Henry Hub indices.

The project leverages the TE-6 and TE-7 wells, as well as a new well currently being finalized, to ensure a ten-year production plateau. First LNG sales—and therefore first revenues—are expected between the end of the first and second quarters of 2026.

“This is an important step towards supplying gas to the Moroccan industry,” commented General Manager Majid Shafiq, emphasizing that Sound Energy is entering “an exciting phase” and is preparing to make a final investment decision for the field’s second phase, intended to feed the national electricity markets.

LONDON (ENGLAND) (ITALPRESS) – Gianni Infantino is extremely busy finalizing the last details of the 2026 World Cup, but he may have to deal with an unexpected obstacle. According to BBC Sport, the head of world football will have to answer to FIFA’s Ethics Committee following a complaint filed by FairSquare, a human-rights organization, which accuses the FIFA president of “at least four clear violations of FIFA’s neutrality rules.”

The issue is linked to the support Infantino showed toward U.S. President Donald Trump, who, during the group-stage draw held in a large show in Washington, received the first FIFA Peace Award. Infantino is also said to have published posts and given interviews on social media in support of the White House leader, violating the political neutrality rules required by the very federation he presides over.

“The awarding of a prize of this nature to a sitting political leader is in itself a clear violation of FIFA’s duty of neutrality”. FairSquare wrote. “The FIFA president does not have the authority to unilaterally dictate the organization’s mission, strategic direction, policies, and values”.

BBC Sport contacted world football’s governing body for comment and reconstructed the points raised against Infantino. At the draw event, in addition to the FIFA award, the head of world football praised Trump, stating: “This is what we want from a leader. You, Mr. President, can always count on my support”. FairSquare documents and contests similar statements and expressions of admiration made in the preceding months.

“This complaint concerns much more than Infantino’s support for President Donald Trump’s political agenda”, explained Nicholas McGeehan, FairSquare’s program director. “More broadly, it concerns how FIFA’s absurd governance structure has allowed Gianni Infantino to openly violate the organization’s rules and act in ways that are dangerous and contrary to the interests of the world’s most popular sport”.

MILAN (ITALPRESS) – “Players can make mistakes too”. This is the view of Clarence Seedorf who, in Amazon Prime’s post-match coverage, provides Liverpool manager Arne Slot with one of those wonderful assists he used to deliver as a player. It happens after the Reds’ win at San Siro against Inter, and naturally the topic concerns Salah’s exclusion.

“We all make mistakes in life, but does the player know he made a mistake?” the Dutch coach replies with a very clear question. He is also willing to put the matter behind him, but raises another point: “Should the initiative come from him or from me? The fact is that everything should be focused on what we achieved by winning here against an opponent like Inter and in a stadium like this. But I know very well that on Friday at the press conference all the questions will be about Salah and not this victory”.

MIAMI (UNITED STATES) (ITALPRESS) – As expected after winning the title with Inter Miami, Lionel Messi has been voted the 2025 MLS MVP, becoming the first player ever to earn the award in back-to-back seasons. The former Barcelona star managed to improve on last year’s performance, finishing with 29 goals and 19 assists in 28 matches (compared to 20–16 last season).
