00:00Welcome to Maxi-Sport, the sports news of this Friday.
00:20We start in Morocco, where the tickets for the Aesfa-Raja match in Casablanca are already sold out in less than 24 hours.
00:28This important meeting, taking place on the fifth day of the group stage of the League of African Champions,
00:34arouses unprecedented interest.
00:36A clash that will be played without the supporters of the greens, forbidden to move.
00:41The match, which will be led by Egyptian referees, will take place this Saturday at the Stade d'Honneur in Meknes from 8 p.m.
00:48The stakes are high, since this confrontation could be decisive for the qualification
00:54to the quarter-finals of the continental competition.
00:57The Aesfa currently occupies the lead of the group with 8 points,
01:01while the Raja is in third position with 4 points.
01:06And now let's talk about the Kings League World Cup.
01:09It is official, Morocco joins the last square.
01:13Coached by Abdelmjid El Khael, the national team eliminated the United States
01:17following a shooting session after a 0-7-7 match at the end of the regular season.
01:24We are very happy with this qualification to the semi-finals.
01:33The match was not easy, of course, but we were mentally ready.
01:37Of course, I made a mistake that disappointed the Moroccan supporters,
01:42but fortunately, coach Abdelmjid El Khael decided to make a change
01:46by making the goalkeeper Youssef Ben Sellem play,
01:49which was not planned in the players' list, because he was sick all night.
01:54He fought anyway to defend the Moroccan flag.
01:57He did a very good performance, we must admit.
02:00And with this qualification, we were able to fill the hearts of all Moroccans with joy.
02:05As for the semi-final match, we must know that we are going to play to go to the final.
02:11Within the team, the general feeling is that of revenge and rage to win
02:17and to win the cup in order to fill with joy our king Mohamed VI,
02:21the Moroccan people and our president Ilyas El Melki.
02:25The Moroccan people are crazy about football, small and big.
02:29Everyone loves the ball.
02:31The achievements of our national teams, all disciplines combined, are spectacular,
02:36because every Moroccan has this fervor of wanting to defend the Moroccan flag.
02:42I promise the Moroccan fans that we will win the final and win the cup.
02:58The Moroccan team will meet the Colombian team in the semi-final this Friday,
03:03after the Colombians defeated Uzbekistan.
03:06As the teammates of Zachary Ahdraf recall, they leaned against the Colombians in the first round,
03:11before taking the lead against Ukraine in the second round
03:14and beating Japan in the last round of the qualifications.
03:20And still in Morocco, the 18th day of the Botola Pro offers important duels for the teams fighting for the maintenance
03:26and those who aspire to reach the podium.
03:29The debates start on Saturday with the opposing matches,
03:32the Codem against the youth of Soalem and the Olympics of Safi against the youth of Mohamedia.
03:37Faced with a serious crisis of results for three days,
03:40the Codem plays on the field of Soalem with the ambition to get out of the relegation zone.
03:45After gaining confidence last week thanks to his victory 2-1 on the Morreb de Tietouan,
03:51the Huidet de Casablanca plans to continue this Sunday at 8 p.m.
03:55by winning his match of the 18th day against the Union Tuerga.
03:59The objective of the Reds is to win this match in order to grab the three points that would bring them closer to the podium.
04:05The coach of the Huidet de Casablanca, Mokwena, will be able to count on all his staff for this match
04:10after the suspension of his midfielder, Ismail Bn-Katib.
04:14However, the Huidet de Casablanca faces a team of Tuerga in a bad position at the 13th place of the table
04:19and who should give everything to get out of the relegation zone.
04:22Still on Sunday, Zmemra's rebirth, second in the rankings, welcomes Hassania Degadir
04:27with the desire to win to remain in the leader's shadow.
04:30In front of him, Hassania intends to create a surprise by bringing back the points from Zmemra's victory.
04:35Arriving on the bench of the Morreb de Tietouan three days ago, Mohamed Bencherifa makes his baptism of fire.
04:41This Sunday, with a shock in front of the Morreb de Fès,
04:44the new coach of the Paloma Blanca will have to find solutions to restart the team,
04:49in particular by coming back with a victory from his move to Fès.
04:52However, the Lourdes face a team of the mass in full ascension,
04:57who aspire to reach the podium.
05:00The direction of Spain is present.
05:02This Friday and this weekend, several interesting matches of the Liga are planned.
05:06Here is a preview of the meetings to come.
05:08Friday will mark the start of the day with Rayo Vallecano,
05:12seeking to capitalize on his field against Celta Vigo,
05:16who fight for stability in the middle of the table.
05:19Saturday also promises to be full of emotion with teams like Betis Sevilla and Valencia CF,
05:24who will try to impose themselves to improve their position in the rankings.
05:28Finally, Sunday will be particularly captivating with Atletico Madrid,
05:33which will welcome Sassouna, hoping to maintain its form and remain competitive in the title race.
05:39These matches are part of a season where each point counts,
05:42both for the fight for the title and to avoid relegation.
05:45The teams will therefore give everything on the field to get positive results this weekend.
05:51And still in international news, West Ham did not wait long to find its new coach.
05:57The day after Julen Lopetegui's dismissal, following a series of bad results,
06:02leading the Hammers to a disappointing 14th place in the Premier League rankings,
06:07the club's management announced the signing of Graham Potter on the bench of the first team.
06:13Free since his departure from Chelsea in April 2023,
06:16the English coach, who was at the top of the list of substitutes for the London formation,
06:21sealed a two-and-a-half-year contract and is now linked to West Ham until June 2027.
06:28And a word of tennis now.
06:30The Kazakh Yulia Putintseva beat the Russian Diana Schneider,
06:34the number 6 of the 7-to-1 series, and reached the semi-finals of the Adelaide tournament on Thursday morning.
06:40Putintseva, ranked 25th in the WTA,
06:43will face number 1 Jessica Pegula at the semi-finals of the Open Adelaide.
06:50The Kazakh player had clearly dominated the Croatian Dona Vekic 6-2-6-3
06:55and the Tunisian wild card Hans Jaber 6-2-6-4 before her qualification against Schneider,
07:0113th World at the WTA.
07:03The 20-year-old Russian had eliminated the qualified Katerina Sinyakova 6-3-0-6-6-0
07:09and Marketa Vondrousova 4-6-1-1, abandoned.
07:13And on the men's side, we are interested in Andy Murray,
07:17who coaches Novak Djokovic.
07:19The curiosity of this start of the season.
07:21The two men know each other well to be faced 36 times on the ATP circuit
07:26with a balance largely to the advantage of the second.
07:29Recently retired, the Briton now has the mission to help the Serbian win titles
07:34and why not a 25th Grand Slam tournament,
07:37which would make him enter a little more in the history of world tennis.
07:41Yes, but this quest to believe in Andy Murray will not begin
07:44at the next Open Adelaide, which starts this Sunday.
07:50I never won here and this man is the main responsible for it.
07:54I'm here now to sabotage his chances of winning.
08:00A touch of humor, so British.
08:02But more seriously, Murray who has accomplished the entirety of his career
08:06at the time of the Big 3 of the World Tennis, Djokovic,
08:10won three Grand Slam titles, two at Wimbledon and one at the US Open.
08:16He lost eight finals.
08:18The draw for the Australian Open was held on Thursday
08:21to reserve a course for Corsair Novak Djokovic.
08:24The number 7 world will be measured to start with the American Basavaredi.
08:28Beneficiary of a wild card.
08:30From his fourth match, he could find the number 10 world,
08:34the Bulgarian Grigor Dimitrov, then the Spanish Carlos Alcazar Ankar
08:39and the German Alexander Zverev in half.
08:42And a word on the Dakar Rally.
08:44As he had promised, Nasser Al-Attiyah attacked during the fifth stage.
08:48The Qatari pilot thought he would offer Adasia his very first victory
08:52on the test at the end of the 428 km.
08:55But he was finally penalized by 10 minutes
08:58for not having reached the finish without his life jacket.
09:01The victory of this fifth stage
09:03finally returned to the American Seth Quintero
09:06for a little second in front of Al-Attiyah on the side of the bikes.
09:10In the end, Luciano Benavides won the fifth stage
09:14scoring his first victory in this year's edition
09:17of the contest for the World Rally Raid Championship.
09:20Indeed, Adrien Van Beveren was the fastest
09:23to complete the 428 km timed.
09:26However, he too was penalized by 2 minutes
09:29falling to second place.
09:32And that's the end of this Maxi-Sport sports newspaper.
09:36Very good follow-up of the programs on Median.
