Ariana Television Network (ATN) will once again bring the latest sporting events into the homes of Afghans around the country when it broadcasts two major events next week.

First up will be the 2024 World Judo Juniors Championships in Dushanbe, which wrapped up recently.

Broadcasts will be aired next week on Ariana Television.

Second up will be next Friday, November 1, when ATN broadcasts the exciting Rallye du Maroc 2024 (Rally Raid Championship).

The Judo championships meanwhile was held at the Kasri Tennis arena in Dushanbe, Tajikistan, recently, as part of the International Judo Federation (IJF) World Tour.

The Head Sport Director of the IJF, Vladimir Barta, praised organizers of the tournament and said: “The organization has been amazing here. Every day when we came to the venue in the morning, it was full, and the crowd was managed very well.

“Regardless of nationality the drummers and cheerleaders in the audience have a great spirit and we hear them break into cheers for Brazil, Uzbekistan, for smaller nations or even for a referee. This spirit is so great to feel,” said Barta.

He also praised Tajikistan as a developing judo country, which won two Olympic medals at the Paris 2024.

Next up, meanwhile, is the thrilling motorsport event – the Rallye du Maroc 2024 (Rally Raid Championship).

Motorsports enthusiasts can tune in next Friday, November 1, to watch Morocco’s thrilling Rally Raid Championship.

Rally raid, which is also known as cross country racing, is a form of long distance off-road racing that takes place over several days.

The length of the event can be as short as 1-3 days for cross-country, to as long as 15 days with marathon rallies like the Dakar Rally.

With skill in navigation being key, the driving skill and endurance of the drivers, co-drivers, and machines are put to the test.

Italy may have fumbled their way out of the last two soccer World Cup qualifying campaigns but their cricket counterparts smashed their way into uncharted territory by booking a maiden Twenty20 World Cup berth on Friday.

The cricketing minnows sealed qualification for the first time ever, sneaking through the European qualifiers despite losing their final match against the Netherlands in a result that suited both teams perfectly, Reuters reported.

Italy needed only to avoid a heavy defeat to secure their historic spot thanks to a superior net run rate and that is exactly what unfolded.

Setting a modest target of 135 for victory, they watched the Dutch cruise home in 16.2 overs, a margin narrow enough to send both teams through to the 2026 tournament.

Scotland, veterans of six previous T20 World Cup editions, were the big losers, failing to secure their spot for the 20-team tournament, losing to Jersey who chased down 134 in a last-ball victory. But Scotland also needed Italy to win.

The 2026 tournament will be jointly hosted by India and Sri Lanka, with five additional qualification spots still up for grabs from Africa and the Asia-East Asian Pacific regions.
