French prosecutors seek trial for PSG's Achraf Hakimi over rape allegation
French authorities are pushing for Moroccan football star Achraf Hakimi to stand trial over allegations of rape stemming from an incident in 2023. Hakimi, who plays for Paris Saint-Germain (PSG), has consistently denied the accusation. On Friday, the prosecutor's office in Nanterre confirmed it had submitted a formal request for the case to proceed to criminal court in the Hauts-de-Seine region. "It is now up to the investigating magistrate to make a decision within the framework of his order," the office said in a statement to Agence France-Presse (AFP). The final call on whether the case advances to trial lies with the investigating judge, who is expected to review the evidence and determine the next steps in the legal process.

Wirtz opens Liverpool account in friendly win in Japan
Ammon News - Florian Wirtz scored his first Liverpool goal as the Premier League champions beat Yokohama F. Marinos 3-1 in a pre-season friendly in Japan on Wednesday. French forward Hugo Ekitike made his debut for Liverpool, one week after joining from Eintracht Frankfurt for a reported 69 million pounds ($92 million). Wirtz equalized after Yokohama opened the scoring early in the second half, the German slamming home a right-foot shot from inside the box in front of over 65,000 fans. 'I am really happy that I could score my first goal. I hope there are more to come,' said Wirtz, who joined Liverpool from Bayer Leverkusen in a blockbuster deal. Trey Nyoni and Rio Ngumoha also scored for Liverpool, who announced the sale of Colombian forward Luis Diaz to Bayern Munich on Wednesday. Liverpool manager Arne Slot said he was happy to see his team come from behind to win but was not pleased with their missed chances. 'It could be with a tough training camp and it could be with the heat circumstances,' said the Dutchman. 'But that's something that we definitely have to improve.' Goalkeeper Alisson Becker missed the match after traveling home to Brazil 'for private reasons,' Liverpool said. Shortly before kickoff, an emotional tribute was given to Diogo Jota, who passed away this month in a car crash. Liverpool dominated throughout but Yokohama opened the scoring when Asahi Uenaka pounced in the 55th minute to beat Giorgi Mamardashvili. Wirtz levelled when he latched onto a Mohamed Salah pass.
