The sports complex in the city of Fes is set to host the much-anticipated third edition of the Hamid Elhazzaz Football Tournament from September 18 to 20, featuring four Moroccan clubs. The opening matches on September 18 will see Wydad Fes face off against the Royal Army, while Maghreb Fes will compete against the Qnitra Club. The tournament will culminate with the third-place playoff and the final match scheduled for September 20.
This tournament not only promises excitement but also provides participating clubs with an excellent opportunity to boost their preparations ahead of the upcoming professional league season. Notably, Maghreb Fes, the reigning champions, has shown signs of a strong start by achieving a convincing 4-1 victory against Burkina Faso's Rahimo Club on Sunday evening in Fes, during the first leg of the preliminary round of the African Champions League.
The tournament stands as a tribute to the late Hamid Elhazzaz, the legendary goalkeeper for both Maghreb Fes and the national team, who is celebrated as one of the most prominent players in the history of Moroccan football.
