Hamdallah Offers Cash Rewards to Fire Up Safi Ahead of Throne Cup Final
Saudi Pro League target man Abderrazak Hamdallah has sent a message to his former club Olympique Safi ahead of tonight's Throne Cup final against RS Berkane, promising a personal cash bonus to every player should they lift the trophy. In a heartfelt Instagram post, the Al-Shabab striker urged players, staff and fans alike to believe in their moment of glory. 'Tomorrow is not an ordinary day,' he wrote. 'It's a date with history, with the moment we've all dreamt of. You're here because of hard work, spirit and love for this badge. One last step – make it count.' Hamdallah also called on Safi's Ultras, the 'Ultra Shark', to set the stadium alight. 'Let your voices reach the sky,' he said. 'Show the world who we are.' The striker ended his post with a promise of a 'special financial reward' to any player who gives everything for the shirt. 'Sweat is rewarded. Spirit is honoured. Victory deserves everything.' Tonight's final, held at the newly revamped Fez Sports Complex at 7 p.m. Moroccan time (GMT+1), features a hungry Safi side chasing their first-ever Throne Cup title against an in-form RS Berkane outfit eyeing a historic treble. Berkane have already lifted the league title and the CAF Confederation Cup this season. Now, they're hoping to add domestic silverware to cap off a brilliant season. Safi, meanwhile, are chasing redemption. They lost their only previous final back in 2016 and now have a shot at rewriting the club's history tonight.

Aymane Mourid Joins Russia's Baltika on Four-Year Deal
Russian Premier League club Baltika Kaliningrad have completed the signing of Moroccan midfielder Ayman Mourid from Union Touarga on a contract running until June 2029. The 24-year-old joins from Moroccan side Union Touarga, where he made 81 appearances, scored once and provided five assists over the past three seasons. Baltika announced the deal on Instagram, describing Mourid as a technically gifted player with solid experience despite his age. Mourid is a graduate of the Mohammed VI Football Academy, Morocco's elite talent hub. In 2018, he moved to Spain to join the youth ranks of Leganés, where he made his senior debut for the B team and even featured in a Copa del Rey tie for the first team. He later returned to Morocco on loan with Chabab Mohammedia before signing for Union Touarga in 2022. The financial terms of the transfer were not disclosed, but both clubs confirmed the deal had been finalised. Baltika welcomed the player on a social media post, writing: 'We're happy to welcome Aymane into the Baltika family and wish him success with the club.' His move to Baltika adds to the growing number of Moroccan players plying their trade in Russia's top flight. Yahya Attiyat Allah, a standout performer at the 2022 World Cup, signed with PFC Sochi in early 2024, though he's currently on loan at Al Ahly in Egypt. Mohamed Amine Talal is also making his mark at Akhmat Grozny. The midfielder joined from Sheriff Tiraspol and has become a regular in their line-up. Meanwhile, striker El Mehdi Maouhoub signed for Dynamo Moscow in August 2024 after a breakout title-winning season with Raja Casablanca scoring eight goals in 19 matches. In his first season at the Russian capital, the 22-year-old scored eight goals and made two assists across all competitions. The club finished fifth in the league last season.
