The much-anticipated fixture list was at last released at 10am on Friday morning, giving supporters their first real insight into how their clubs' seasons could shape up.

A French appeals court confirmed Friday that Paris Saint-Germain and Morocco star player Achraf Hakimi will stand trial in a rape case.The defender, who is currently playing with Morocco at the World Cup after winning the Champions League for a second straight year with PSG, had appealed a February decision by an investigative judge. That ruling followed recommendations from public prosecutors that Hakimi should face trial.The decision was released just hours before Morocco takes on Scotland in their Group C match. Morocco drew 1-1 with Brazil in its opening game.Hakimi, one of the best right backs in the world, denies any wrongdoing. He faced preliminary charges of rape in March 2023 after a 24-year-old woman said she was raped by Hakimi at his home in a Paris suburb.The Versailles appeals court said in a press statement that it ordered that Hakimi be formally charged with rape. The court said that the investigations conducted during the inquiry and the judicial investigation led the investigating chamber to conclude that there is sufficient evidence against the player to stand trial.Rachel-Flore Pardo, the lawyer representing the plaintiff, said that after more than three years of legal proceedings, and after being defamed and dragged through the mud by Achraf Hakimis defense, the court's decision brings my client a sense of relief and hope."Relief that she has been heard by the justice system and will have her case heard at trial, Pardo said in a statement to The Associate Press. "Hope that this trial will help other women and further weaken the fortress of denial and impunity surrounding sexual violence, including within the world of mens football.Hakimi claimed in a message posted on X on Friday that his case would have been dismissed if he had not been famous, and that he sometimes feels he has become an easy target. Justice looked me in the eye and told me: If you were not famous, there would never have been a case," Hakimi wrote. I chose to remain silent for years. I believed that staying dignified, being patient, and trusting the justice system would allow the right decisions to be made.He added that the case has been detrimental not only to him, but also to his family, and above all, to the truth. I have been waiting for this trial since the first day. And I am now waiting for it impatiently, he added. Finally, I will be able to speak.A date for the trial has yet to be announced.The multitude of exculpatory elements uncovered during the investigation and judicial inquiry would, in any other case, have led to the dismissal of the proceedings," Hakimis lawyer, Fanny Colin, told the AP. Achraf Hakimis defense regrets that no consequences were drawn from the contradictions and false statements made by the complainant, her concealment of information from the judicial authorities, her obstruction of the search for the truth, and the psychological assessments noting both her ambivalence and her lack of clarity regarding the events she reported.___AP World Cup: https://apnews.com/hub/fifa-world-cup
