The New York Times highlights Morocco’s sports policy, which is experiencing a certain boom, and the kingdom’s desire to become "a world reference in football."

In an interview, the Moroccan international Nayef Aguerd opens up about his adventure in Spain and reveals the dream he intends to fulfill with Real Sociedad.

Bronze medalist with the Moroccan Olympic team, Genk midfielder Zakaria El Ouahdi is facing a dilemma: should he change his sports nationality in favor of Belgium? Or will he continue his adventure with Morocco?

In difficulty in Turkey, the Moroccan international Hakim Ziyech could leave Galatasaray during the next transfer window. His profile interests a Greek club.

While he has turned down lucrative offers from Russia and Italy to continue with Olympique de Marseille (OM) for an additional season, the Moroccan midfielder Amine Harit is in difficulty. His adventure is taking an unexpected turn.

While they expected the African Ballon d’Or to be awarded to Achraf Hakimi , Moroccan supporters were surprised to find that the Nigerian striker from Atalanta Bergame Lookman Ademola was preferred to the Moroccan right-back of PSG.

The coach of the Moroccan national team, Walid Regragui, should fly to Turkey in January to meet the Moroccan players playing in the local championship.

Amine Harit confided his disappointment at not being selected in the list of players for the Moroccan national team. A blow for the Olympique de Marseille player, who aspired to win an international title with the Atlas Lions.

Morocco is preparing for a historic event: hosting the 2030 FIFA World Cup. After the resounding success of Qatar in 2022, the Kingdom is entering the big leagues, but will have to meet major challenges.

Tunisia seems to want to draw inspiration from Morocco to revive its national football team. The Transition Committee, tasked by FIFA with straightening out the Tunisian Football Federation, is eyeing Vahid Halilhodžić, the Bosnian coach who qualified the Atlas Lions for the 2022 World Cup.

After the departure of Eliesse Ben Seghir from AS Monaco, it is the turn of Ayyoub Bouaddi , a young talent from LOSC Lille, to let down the French national team. The midfielder, who has been shining since the start of the season, has chosen to wear the colors of Morocco, the country of origin of his parents.

Moroccan international Hakim Ziyech is still lacking playing time at Galatasaray, where he has been playing since August 2023. This situation could jeopardize his return to the national team.
