00:00Fly for the passion of football with Royal Air Merak.
00:09I'm here at Baab Boujeloud, the main entrance to the Medina Afas.
00:13The markets are already busy behind me, and later tonight, this city hosts its final Afcom match, a round of 16 tie.
00:21But first up in Agadir, Egypt looked in control only for Benin to pull level late, taking the match beyond 90 minutes.
00:34Two extra time goals, including a last-gast Mohamed Salah strike, sent the Pharaohs into the quarterfinals.
00:44Mohamed Salah is just playing with his minimum effort, but still he could score at least one goal.
00:50Three qualifiers, that's the most important part.
00:53We don't care who's coming, we are Egypt.
00:55We are the best team in Africa. We're shamed in seven times.
01:04Inside Fez Medina, the alleys twist a narrow full of life.
01:08Vendors offer sweets, and I can't resist trying a few.
01:12Almonds, pistachio, sunflower, pumpkin, cashew nuts.
01:20Every turn reveals a hidden corner, where the city's rhythm and charm make walking here feel timeless.
01:32A little further on, another stall offers fragrant oils, and the scent drew me in.
01:38Historic mosques like Al-Qarawiyyin transport you back hundreds of years, offering a sense of calm and continuity.
01:47While my tour guide, Hassan, leads me through hidden museums, revealing the city's treasures and centuries of history.
01:55Colourful textiles hang from market stalls, hand-woven and patterned, while artisans carefully work at their craft.
02:04Every step through Fez reveals a city alive with tradition and history, where the past is part of everyday life.
02:13This place is called Ariad, built around an inner courtyard.
02:19It's a quieter side of the city, before we turn back to the football at Fez Stadium.
02:24Thank you.
02:25In the second match of the night, Nigeria took charge early and kept the momentum,
02:30scoring through a series of well-worked moves, before cruising to a 4-0 win over Mozambique to book their place in the quarterfinals.
02:38With Fez hosting its last game of the tournament today, the focus moves to the round's final fixtures,
02:44Algeria against DR Congo and Burkina Faso versus Coutte d'Ivoire, with both promising, intense, hard-fought clashes.
02:55Fly for the passion of football with Royal Air Morocco.
