05 Oct. 12:37Turkmenistan's national para powerlifting team is set to participate in the 2025 World Championships, one of the sport’s premier global events, taking place in Cairo, Egypt, from October 11 to 18.
Eight athletes will represent Turkmenistan in various weight categories, aiming for strong performances against the top lifters from around the world.
The event has drawn 542 competitors from 71 countries, along with 25 neutral athletes. The field includes 314 men and 228 women. All competitions will be held at modern venues built to international standards, covering the full range of official weight classes.
For Turkmen athletes, this championship serves as a key milestone in their preparation for the Paralympic Games and other international events.
FC Barcelona and Spain midfielder Gavi (Pablo Paéz Gavira) is donating approximately €1.3 million to fund the construction of 150 homes for homeless and low-income individuals. The project will take place in his hometown of Los Palacios y Villafranca, located in the province of Seville.
According to Spanish media outlets, the development is designed to shelter around 300 people who face financial difficulties in purchasing or renting a home. The initiative is a purely charitable endeavor funded entirely by the footballer rather than a commercial real estate investment.
Specific details regarding construction timelines and eligibility criteria for housing recipients will be announced in subsequent phases of the project.
