Newcastle and Liverpool Eye Moroccan Starlet Aït Boudlal
Moroccan defender Abdelhamid Aït Boudlal is attracting growing interest from top clubs across Europe after a solid loan spell at Amiens. According to Africa Foot, Premier League sides Newcastle United and Liverpool are both keen on the Rennes center-back. Newcastle are understood to have met with the player's camp, while Liverpool have reportedly tabled a formal offer. French clubs OGC Nice and Lille are also monitoring him closely, with two top-half La Liga teams joining the chase. Aït Boudlal joined Rennes from Morocco's Mohammed VI Academy in July 2024. He spent the first half of the 2024–25 season playing for Rennes II in Championnat National 3 before moving to Amiens on loan in February. Despite joining mid-season, Aït Boudlal quickly became a regular starter for Amiens, making nine league appearances – eight as a starter – and registering one assist in a 3–2 win over Guingamp. His physical presence, composure, and sharp positioning have been widely praised. Amiens finished the season mid-table, in 11th. At 1.90m tall, Aït Boudlal is a commanding figure in defense. He captained Morocco at U17 level, leading them to runners-up finishes in the 2022 Arab Cup and 2023 Africa Cup of Nations. He scored in the U17 AFCON final and earned a place in the Team of the Tournament. He also represented Morocco at the 2023 U17 World Cup. In October 2023, The Guardian named him among the 60 best young footballers in the world born in 2006. Still under contract with Rennes until 2028, Aït Boudlal faces a crucial summer. His next move could be a defining step in his career. Tags: Aït BoudlalAmiensLiverpoolNewcastleRennes

Akdital Expands into UAE with $70 Million Dubai Hospital Investment
Doha – Morocco's leading private healthcare provider, Akdital, has officially begun construction on its first international hospital in Dubai with a $70 million investment, extending the group's footprint beyond national borders. The new medical facility, scheduled to open in the fourth quarter of 2026, will offer comprehensive healthcare services covering multiple medical, surgical, and oncological specialties, according to a company statement released Tuesday. With a 200-bed capacity, the hospital will incorporate cutting-edge medical technologies and innovations that meet international standards to address growing demands for specialized care in the region. This Dubai project represents the first step in Akdital's planned international expansion into the Gulf region. The group has already outlined plans to open additional facilities in the United Arab Emirates and Saudi Arabia between 2025 and 2030. In April, Akdital signed a $200 million deal with Saudi real estate developers Wataniyah Business Real Estate and Namaya to establish two hospitals in Riyadh and Jeddah. These Saudi facilities are expected to be completed by 2027, aligning with Saudi Arabia's 2030 health strategy. Currently, Akdital operates 36 healthcare establishments across 21 Moroccan cities, with more than 4,100 beds and a workforce of 7,500 professionals. The group has been rapidly expanding its domestic presence, opening 12 new facilities in Morocco over the past year. By 2027, Akdital aims to have 62 establishments and over 6,000 hospital beds in 32 different Moroccan cities. The group's domestic strategy includes identifying 4-5 small towns within a 100 km radius of each Akdital hospital to open diagnostic centers, with plans to establish 200 such centers by 2030. Listed on the Casablanca Stock Exchange since December 2022 under the symbol AKT, Akdital continues to strengthen its position in Morocco's healthcare sector while beginning its international journey with the Dubai hospital project.

Royal Air Maroc Sets Sights on 200-Strong Fleet by 2037
Rabat – Royal Air Maroc (RAM) is charting an ambitious course for growth, adding new aircraft and preparing for a major transformation of its global reach. The national carrier recently welcomed three Boeing 787 Dreamliners over just two days, on top of two new planes delivered earlier this year. This brings the total number of new aircraft for 2025 to five. Transport and Logistics Minister Abdessamad Kayouh shared the update during a parliamentary session on Tuesday, June 3. He said RAM plans to acquire ten more aircraft before the end of the year and another ten in 2026. Each new Dreamliner holds 302 passengers – a capacity that signals the airline's steady push to meet growing demand. But the airline's ambitions stretch far beyond short-term additions. A major call for tenders will soon be launched to purchase 188 additional aircraft. The move forms part of a long-term agreement between the Moroccan state and RAM, covering 2023 to 2037. By the end of this roadmap, the airline aims to expand its fleet from 50 to 200 planes. At the heart of this strategy lies a sharp increase in passenger numbers. RAM intends to move from transporting six million passengers annually to 31 million by 2037. The company also projects its revenue to rise from MAD 15.5 billion ($1.6 billion) to MAD 100 billion ($10.4 billion) within the same timeframe. To support this shift, the airline will broaden its international footprint. From 99 destinations in 2023, RAM looks to reach 130 cities in the coming years. The plan reflects a clear ambition to establish RAM as a serious player among global carriers. Kayouh also recalled a recent partnership with the Royal Moroccan Football Federation (FRMF). Under this agreement, RAM will serve as the official airline for the 2030 FIFA World Cup. Direct flights will connect continents, positioning Morocco as a gateway between Africa, Europe, and the Americas. Meanwhile, the government also wants to strengthen air travel inside the country. More domestic routes are set to open, in order to boost local tourism and make Morocco's regions more accessible to both residents and visitors. Tags: economyMorocco fleetplanesRAMRoyal Air Maroc
