The Confederation of African Football (CAF) is considering the possibility of replaying the final of the African Champions League, between Wydad of Casablanca and Esperance of Tunis, in Egypt, just before the Africa Cup of Nations, scheduled for June 19.
A Moroccan player, playing in the Saudi championship, was sentenced to two years in prison with a suspended sentence by the correctional chamber near the Court of Appeal of Tangier, for a rape case.
While he was called up by the French coach of the Atlas Lions Hervé Renard to take part in the preparation camp for the CAN starting in two weeks in Egypt, Abdelali Mhamdi was injured. The Royal Moroccan Football Federation (FRMF) has just announced that the goalkeeper of the Renaissance Sportive de Berkane will be replaced by Anas Zniti, goalkeeper of Raja Club Athletic.
Rumors of a possible return to Italy for Atlas Lions captain Medhi Benatia are becoming more and more insistent. After a golden semi-retirement in Qatar, it is very likely that he will return to Serie A next season.
The Confederation of African Football (CAF) decided on Wednesday, June 5, 2019, to replay the final match of the African Champions League, which opposed Espérance Sportive de Tunis (EST) to Wydad Casablanca (WAC), which the Tunisians did not accept, particularly the authorities of this country, who reacted by insulting the Moroccans.
While a year ago he was considered a nugget, a rising star, the Moroccan player Amine Harit has had a nightmarish season. The fault of his off-field antics and no doubt also the psychological aftermath of the fatal accident in Marrakech, just after the World Cup in Russia.
There are only 15 days left before the start of the Africa Cup of Nations in Egypt and the Moroccan players are expected to deliver. A competition without good results will undoubtedly, and for a long time, lower their popularity with Moroccans.
A little less than two years after a heart attack in the middle of a match, the Dutch international of Moroccan origin Abdelhak Nouri will return home. His family has just made all the arrangements for him to receive the necessary care with them.
Very good news for the Wydad Casablanca team. The match they had lost by forfeit against the Espérance de Tunis team will be replayed. This is the decision taken on Wednesday by the Confederation of African Football (CAF).
The Atlas Lion Achraf Hakimi has just reassured his fans about his condition on Instagram via a photo showing him with a team in charge of his rehabilitation. He is ready for the CAN! Fully recovered.
Wydad Casablanca has just been crowned champion of Morocco for the twentieth time in its history. WAC has a 6-point lead over Raja, its eternal rival.
Moroccan international Munir El Kajoui has just expressed his wish to prioritize the Malaga team over the Moroccan national football team, at least during the upcoming friendly matches scheduled for this June.
