June 2025 Archive – Top Sports Stories You Missed
Welcome to the June 2025 roundup. We’ve pulled together the biggest sports moments that made headlines on Africa Crypto Daily this month. From a record‑breaking tennis victory to surprising twists in African football, and a heated transfer saga, there’s a lot to unpack. Let’s jump straight in.
Tennis Triumphs: Iga Swiatek’s 300th Win
Iga Swiatek lit up the French Open with a streak of 26 straight wins before her run ended. What’s crazy is that she hit her 300th WTA victory in the same tournament – a milestone no one has reached since Serena Williams. The win pushed her ahead of every player in the Open Era, making her the clear leader in women’s tennis right now. While Swiatek’s dominance stole the show, the tournament also gave a platform to rising stars like Coco Gauff and wildcard Loïs Boisson, and said goodbye to veterans Caroline Garcia and Sara Errani.
African Football Surprises & Transfer Drama
The COSAFA Cup delivered the drama fans love. Madagascar and Eswatini both booked semifinal spots after a shock exit for Zambia and Tanzania in Group C. Botswana also advanced, meaning the next round will be a real showdown starting June 13. These results shake up regional rankings and give smaller nations a chance to shine on the continental stage.
On the club side, Chelsea’s plan to sign River Plate teenager Franco Mastantuono hit a snag. The 17‑year‑old Argentine, who carries a £38 million release clause, attracted interest from PSG as well. With the Club World Cup looming, his performance could tip the balance in any direction. Chelsea fans are left wondering if they’ll lose a future star or if the English club can still lock the deal.
All three stories share a common thread: young talent stepping into the spotlight and bigger names scrambling to keep up. Whether it’s Swiatek breaking records, Madagascar making a surprise run, or Mastantuono becoming a transfer target, the sports world is full of fresh excitement.
That’s the June 2025 snapshot. Keep checking Africa Crypto Daily for more updates on sports, crypto, and everything in between. If you enjoyed these highlights, stay tuned for next month’s archive – there’s always something new to discover.
