Former Barcelona and Spain defender Gerard Pique has touched down to watch Difaa El Jadidi take on Maghreb de Fes following an invitation from streaming sensation Ilyas El Maliki.
The match kicks off today at 4 p.m. Moroccan time at El Abdi Stadium. Fans can catch the action live on Arriyadia and Arriyadia Live stream on YouTube.
El Malki, also the head of Morocco’s Kings League team, sent an invitation to Pique with strong bonds growing between the head of Morocco’s Kings League team and the Kings League president.
Morocco put on a head-turning performance in the Kings League in Italy. M’barek Boussoufa’s teammates reached the semifinals after beating the US, Japan, and Ukraine, only to lose to Brazil 2-1 in a thrilling game.
Speculation is now growing that Pique could choose Morocco as the next host of the Kings World Cup Nation.
The competition’s website currently displays an incomplete map of Morocco without its southern provinces.
Morocco has shown in recent years its determination to shun any international event or partnership that undermines its territorial integrity. But it remains to be seen if Pique’s tournament will update its website as it courts Morocco to host its next edition.
For today’s match, Maghreb de Fes is looking for a win to climb the table, while Difaa El Jadida is desperate for points to escape the lower rankings.
