DR ‹ › The Coupe Davis is set to make its long-awaited return to Casablanca after more than two decades, as Morocco faces Colombia on February 7 and 8 in a playoff for promotion to World Group I. The tie will be played at the historic USM Tennis Club, which will host the competition for the first time since 2003, when Morocco famously defeated Great Britain 3–2 in a World Group playoff. Captained by former world top player Hicham Arazi, the Moroccan team will rely on experience and home support in what is shaping up to be a high-stakes encounter. With seating limited to 2,000 spectators, organizers are expecting a charged atmosphere, with fans seen as a decisive factor in pushing the team forward, according to a press release. Founded in 1900 and organized by the International Tennis Federation, the Coupe Davis remains the oldest and one of the most prestigious international team competitions in men's tennis. Established in 1913, the USM Tennis Club, one of Morocco's oldest and most respected sporting institutions, offers a historic and fitting setting for this return to top-level competition.
