The Moroccan Professional Football League has confirmed a change of venue for the upcoming match between Ittihad Yaacoub Al Mansour and Ittihad Tanger, scheduled for the ninth round of the domestic professional championship on Saturday.
The league announced that the fixture will now take place at the Olympic Stadium in Rabat, rather than the club’s city stadium as initially planned. The kick-off time remains unchanged.
“The venue change is part of efforts to ensure the meeting is held under the best possible conditions,” the league said in an official statement.
The decision follows a formal request from Ittihad Yaacoub Al Mansour’s management, which cited organisational considerations in preparing for the match.
“This amendment comes within the framework of ensuring the appropriate conditions for holding the meeting in the best possible circumstances,” the statement added.
The move to the Olympic Stadium, one of Morocco’s largest sporting venues, is expected to accommodate a greater number of supporters and provide enhanced facilities for players, officials, and fans alike.
Both teams are now preparing for the encounter, which carries vital points in the context of the ongoing league campaign.
Ittihad Yaacoub Al Mansour will host Ittihad Tanger in what promises to be a competitive fixture, as both clubs aim to consolidate their positions in the league standings.
The league’s decision underscores the importance of logistical planning in ensuring matches run smoothly and safely.
