Borussia Dortmund is seriously considering acquiring Moroccan player Hakim Ziyech during the winter transfer window, according to information from Bild . Despite the difficulties he is facing at Chelsea, many European clubs are ready to make an offer.
The Moroccan national football team won a convincing 3-0 victory over Sudan in a match counting for the 5th round of group I. The match took place at the Prince Moulay Abdellah complex in Rabat.
Moroccan player Zakaria Aboukhlal has been called up as reinforcement to compensate for the absence of Youssef En-nesyri who is suffering from a muscle tear. The player born of a Libyan father and a Moroccan mother will therefore be present for the matches against Sudan and Guinea.
Sudan hosts Morocco this Friday at the Moulay Abdellah complex in Rabat . Vahid Halilhodzic’s protégés hope to have the upper hand in this match counting for the 5th round of the 2022 World Cup qualifiers.
While the President of the Royal Moroccan Football Federation, Fouzi Lekjaa, indicated in an interview on Radio Mars that he would personally get involved in resolving the crisis between Ziyech and the coach, Vahid Halilhodzic does not see it that way. He no longer wants to hear about the player, as well as his teammate from Ajax Amsterdam, Noussair Mazraoui.
After successfully qualifying the Atlas Lions for the playoff match, Vahid Halilhodzic hopes to win the last two matches counting for the 5th and 6th rounds of the 2022 World Cup qualifiers. The coach intends to achieve a flawless run.
Faced with the scale of the conflict between Vahid Halilhodzic and Hakim Ziyech , the president of the Royal Moroccan Football Federation (FRMF) has decided to intervene to restore peace and cohesion within the national team. For the third time, the Franco-Bosnian coach, in the context of the 2022 World Cup qualifiers, has decided to exclude the Chelsea midfielder, accusing him of having "crossed all the limits that a player must not exceed".
The Moroccan national team is actively preparing for the return match against Sudan which will take place this Friday, November 12 at the Rabat stadium, as part of the fifth round of the 2022 World Cup qualifiers.
Moroccan international Noussair Mazraoui is having a hard time digesting his dismissal from the Moroccan national football team. The Ajax Amsterdam player, like his teammate who plays at Chelsea, is no longer in the good graces of the national coach. After Hakim Ziyech’s statement on the situation , it is Mazraoui’s turn to break the silence to enlighten public opinion, the reasons that justify his absence for more than a year from the list of players called up for the matches of the Atlas Lions .
For a few months now, Hakim Ziyech has been unwanted in the national team, due to "his lack of involvement in recent gatherings". The Moroccan player who plays at Chelsea has finally spoken out about the situation that opposes him to Vahid Halilhodzic . The midfielder, without going into details, does not recognize himself in the reproaches made to him by the coach and assures that he has been irreproachable at each gathering of the Atlas Lions .
A few weeks before the holding of the 2022 Africa Cup of Nations in Cameroon, European clubs, especially English ones, are reluctant to release African internationals, including Moroccan players. Yet FIFA has required that African players playing in various championships be made available to their respective countries no later than December 27, but English clubs only plan to do so after Boxing Day.
The president of the board of the Algerian Handball Federation (FAHB), Abdelkarim Bendjemil, speaking about the participation or not of the Algerian team in the next African Cup of Nations to be held in Laâyoune, assured that the Algerian state opposes the choice of this city and has already started discussions to have the CAN played in another Moroccan city.
