Ismael Saibari Catapults PSV to Victory
Morocco's Ismael Saibari contributed to PSV Eindhoven's 2-1 narrow win over Heerenveen in the Eredivisie at the Philips Stadion on Saturday.
The 24-year-old Atlas Lion broke the deadlock just minutes before halftime, smashing in a perfect pass from Guus Til.
Saibari is in a sizzling form and proving to be one of PSV's most consistent players – with 7 goals and 9 assists in just 21 league matches.
The Moroccan midfielder is tipped to join the national squad for the next World Cup qualifiers against Niger and Tanzania on March 21 and 25.
Saibari has climbed the ranks of PSV Eindhoven youth team into the senior squad and has become a starting player under manager Peter Bosz. He regularly plays as a creative box-to-box player alongside Jerdy Schouten and Til.
Last Tuesday, PSV were pummelled 7-1 at home against Arsenal in the Champions League's last-16 tie. Saibari started the game on the right side of a three-man midfield and was rated a disappointing 4.7, according to FotMob.
The second leg will be played next Wednesday at the Emirates Stadium in London, and Saibari's chances to qualify to the next round are unfortunately almost null. Tags: Atlas LionsIsmael saibariMoroccanPSV Eindhoven

Under-21 teams from both countries will face off today at 8 p.m. Moroccan time. The two teams are part of Group C, which also includes Poland and Georgia. Those seeking to watch the game can do so through W9 or beIN Sports 1. For many, France is among the favorites eager to win the continental title after a long wait since 1988.

Morocco Accelerates World Cup 2030 Preparations with Ambitious Stadium Plans
Doha – Spanish sports newspaper Marca recently traveled to Morocco to witness the country's World Cup 2030 preparations firsthand. 'MARCA spent a few days in Morocco and verified 'on site' how the neighboring country is preparing for the 2030 World Cup that it will co-organize with Spain and Portugal,' the outlet reported. According to Marca, Morocco is already upgrading its football and social infrastructure for the global tournament, despite being five years away. 'The country, although five years remain, is already modernizing structures, both football and social, to prepare for the event,' the Spanish publication noted. The country is currently renovating venues ahead of the 2025 Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON 2025), scheduled between December 2025 and January 2026. The 2030 World Cup will feature eleven Spanish venues, three Portuguese, and six Moroccan stadiums. Marca details these Moroccan venues: Grand Hassan II Stadium (Casablanca, 115,000 spectators); Prince Moulay Abdellah Stadium (Rabat, 68,700); Grand Stadium of Tangier (75,600); Grand Stadium Agadir (46,000); Grand Stadium Fez (55,800); and Marrakech Stadium (70,000). Five existing facilities will undergo renovation, while Casablanca's venue represents the cornerstone development. Marca quoted Fouzi Lekjaa, president of Morocco's 2030 bid committee and Royal Moroccan Football Federation (FRMF): 'We want the final to be in Casablanca.' The Santiago Bernabéu in Madrid stands as the other major option, with FIFA set to make the ultimate decision — a possibility Spanish media have been actively promoting, framing the stadium as a frontrunner in FIFA's considerations. Marca points out that Brahim Díaz will serve as the Atlas Lions' star player. 'Brahim Díaz, the Real Madrid forward, will be the reference,' the outlet states. They observed him recently with the national team: 'Brahim was with his national team in Morocco these days, although he did not play the first friendly on Friday against Tunisia (2-0). But he could be seen in the box even singing the national anthem.' The stadium development project requires substantial investment. A recent report by the Center for Economic and Social Prospective reveals Morocco will allocate MAD 52 billion (approximately $5 billion) for sports infrastructure. This extensive investment raises questions about post-tournament viability. The report warns about avoiding the fate of previous hosts like Brazil (2014) and South Africa (2010), whose stadiums became financial burdens after their respective tournaments. For long-term sustainability, these venues must generate income beyond football matches through concerts, festivals, corporate events, and commercial activities. The report recommends establishing regional management companies and exploring naming rights possibilities, following models like Wembley in London and Allianz Arena in Munich. Construction proceeds with Moroccan companies TGCC and SGTM recently winning a MAD 3.2 billion ($320 million) contract for the second phase of Casablanca's Grand Stade Hassan II project. After the tender process closed on June 10, they submitted the only bid that satisfied all technical and financial requirements. Their scope includes heavy construction, waterproofing, steel framework, interior finishes, and carpentry. The FRMF aims for completion by December 2027. Tags: FIFA World Cup 2030Moroccan stadiums

Kevin De Bruyne Set to Join Napoli
Rabat – Kevin De Bruyne is on the verge of ending a decade at Manchester City after reaching a verbal agreement to join Napoli on a free transfer once his contract expires on 30 June. Transfer specialist Fabrizio Romano says final paperwork is being completed today, clearing the path for the Belgian player to become Antonio Conte's headline signing of the summer. The 33-year-old will fly to Napoli on Thursday for medical tests before signing a two-year contract that includes an option for a third season. According to multiple Italian outlets, the contract will pay about €6 million net per year for the first two campaigns, dropping to €5 million in the optional third, plus a signing-on bonus befitting his free-agent status. De Bruyne departs England as one of the Premier League's defining players: 422 appearances, 108 goals and 177 assists for City, with six league titles and the club's first Champions League crown on his career. Even in an injury-interrupted 2024-25 season, he produced 4 goals and 7 assists in 28 Premier League matches, still averaging a direct goal involvement every 155 minutes. Napoli coach Antonio Conte, who won Serie A in his debut season, sees De Bruyne as the creative core to reinforce his 4-3-3 formation. The Belgian can drop deep alongside Scott McTominay and Andre Anguissa to control the tempo, or push forward behind Lukaku to break defenses. For Napoli, the move is opportunistic. By bringing a Champions League-winning playmaker without paying a transfer fee, if De Bruyne delivers a bit of his Etihad form, he can help Napoli defend their Serie A title and mount a deep Champions League run.
