It was a night of two halves for Hakim Ziyech. The Moroccan international found the back of the net on Wednesday, March 4, 2026, at the Mohammed V Complex during the Wydad – AS FAR Clasico (a postponed match from the 9th round), before leaving the pitch due to injury. After the Military’s opening goal from an own goal by Walid Sebbar (19th minute), Ziyech equalized for Wydad with a classy move: a feint, cutting into the center, and a left-footed shot from outside the box to level the score (28th minute).

The future of Bilal Nadir seems to be written far from Olympique de Marseille. The Moroccan midfielder’s contract is set to expire in June 2026, a factor that completely changes the situation: unless there is a turnaround, OM faces the risk of a free departure at the end of the season, while the player can also, in theory, sign a pre-contract with another club according to the rules applicable to players at the end of their contract. According to information reported in recent days, Villarreal is the club that is most advanced and appears to be the most likely destination.…

The controversy is escalating less than two weeks before the kickoff of the 2026 Women’s Africa Cup of Nations (WAFCON), scheduled from March 17 to April 3, 2026, in Morocco.

The name Chemsdine Talbi is increasingly circulating in the market. At just 20 years old, the Moroccan winger from Sunderland has established himself as one of the revelations of the Premier League season, already catching the eye of several financially stronger clubs. This rise is logical for a player whose explosiveness, drive, and ability to make a difference in the final third are beginning to weigh in recruitment reports. According to information reported on Wednesday, March 4, 2026, Newcastle United is among the clubs most attentive to his profile. Internally, the idea would be to anticipate the summer and prepare…

Gessime Yassine needed just one match to win everyone over… including those across the Channel. After a standout performance with RC Strasbourg, the young Moroccan international saw a compilation of his actions go viral on social media, quickly surpassing millions of views and triggering a wave of reactions in England, particularly among Chelsea supporters, who are closely following events in Alsace. The strong English enthusiasm is largely due to the fact that Strasbourg and Chelsea operate within an ecosystem closely monitored by Blues fans. As a result, whenever a player ‘steals the show’ in Ligue 1, comments and projections quickly…

Absent for several weeks, Sofyan Amrabat made his return this Tuesday to the Ciudad Deportiva Luis del Sol to reconnect with the environment of Real Betis. After undergoing surgery on January 27 for an injury to his right ankle, the Moroccan midfielder has spent approximately six weeks in rehabilitation in the Netherlands before gradually returning to the Andalusian pitches. For now, the former Fiorentina player is primarily engaged in specific training with the club’s rehabilitation staff. Betis is being cautious: Amrabat is not yet touching the ball and remains apart from the group, taking the time to validate each step…

Following Strasbourg’s qualification against Reims (2-1) in the Coupe de France, the English coach did not hide his satisfaction while discussing the impact of the young forward, who was particularly useful against a compact team. In circumstances where Strasbourg had to break through a low block, O’Neil emphasized Yassine’s ability to thrive in tight spaces: “He had a very good match… he is very good in confined areas,” the coach summarized, noting that he expected this performance and was “not disappointed.” Beyond the words, such public praise…

Gessime Yassine stood out this Tuesday, March 3, 2026, during the quarter-final of the Coupe de France between Strasbourg and Reims. In a highly competitive first half, the young Moroccan thought he had provided a golden opportunity for Racing by winning a penalty after an action in the box. But the joy was short-lived: after review, VAR annulled the decision, deeming the penalty unjustified. This sequence nonetheless confirmed Yassine’s contribution to the Strasbourg game, as he is capable of provoking and creating imbalance in crucial areas. In the end, Strasbourg secured their qualification by winning 2-1 in a match that…
