 Dutch referee Rob Dieperink dies weeks after removal from World Cup officiating list Dutch referee Rob Dieperink has died at the age of 38, weeks after FIFA removed him from its list of officials for the World Cup.

 Gabon announces presidential election on March 22


Gabon's transitional leader Brice Oligui Nguema said on Thursday that the central African country would hold a presidential election on March 22, Reuters reported.


Nguema was sworn in as interim leader in September 2023, after his junta ousted President Ali Bongo in the eighth coup in West and Central Africa since 2020.


The Gabonese largely welcomed the military's ousting of Bongo, whose family's poor management of the country's oil wealth had led to a stagnant economy and stranded a third of the population in poverty.
