Find the latest sports news from March 29, 2026. The French football team was not the only one to shine, with several winners in individual sports.
Football – France confirms in Washington
Despite being reorganized, the Blues once again showed their sharpness against Colombia (3-1) thanks to a brace from Désiré Doué (29th, 56th) and a goal from Marcus Thuram (41st). Kylian Mbappé only came on late in the game and did not score, leaving Olivier Giroud as the sole all-time leading scorer for the French team (57 goals to 56), at least until June. And definitely not beyond that, at least we hope so.
F1 – Antonelli makes it two in Suzuka
Kimi Antonelli (Mercedes) won his second consecutive Grand Prix, triumphing in Japan two weeks after China. This makes the Italian the youngest leader in the history of a world championship, at 19 years and six months. Oscar Piastri (McLaren) and Charles Leclerc (Ferrari) complete the podium, with George Russell (Mercedes), Lewis Hamilton (Ferrari), Pierre Gasly (Alpine), Max Verstappen (Red Bull), Liam Lawson (Racing Bulls), and Esteban Ocon (Haas) following in the top 10.
Cycling – Vingegaard and Philipsen collect
Jonas Vingegaard (Visma – Lease a Bike) claimed victory in the Tour de Catalogne ahead of Lenny Martinez (Bahrain Victorious) who finished 1’22” behind, after the final stage in Barcelona won in a sprint by Brady Gilmore (NSN) ahead of Dorian Godon (INEOS) and Remco Evenepoel (Red Bull – Bora – Hansgrohe). In the Gand-Wevelgem, now called In Flanders Fields, Jasper Philipsen (Alpecin) beat Tobias Lund Andresen (Decathlon – CMA CGM) and Christophe Laporte (Visma).
Tennis – Sinner reigns in Miami
In a logical manner, and despite an hour and a half interruption between the two sets due to rain, Jannik Sinner calmly picked up the Miami Masters 1000 by defeating Jiri Lehecka in the final (6-4, 6-4). It’s hard not to think that Arthur Fils belonged there, but the Frenchman was eliminated by the Czech in the semifinals on Friday.
Rugby – Stade Français finishes with a bang
Stade Français crushed Clermont in unexpected proportions with a 64-20 scoreline that sends a message to the Top 14, with 40 points scored in just the second half and notably a 33-0 in the last eleven minutes! At that moment, Jean-Bouin’s team was only leading 31-20, but they notably scored 19 points with a numerical advantage. Stade Français is in third place, level with the second-placed Pau.
