Baha, the coach of the Moroccan Under-17 national team, rejected any excuses regarding the change in the timing of the African Cup of Nations final against Mali, moving it from 8 PM to 3 PM.
During the press conference before the match, Baha stated: “We have prepared for all possibilities, and I am not looking for excuses despite the change in timing. However, we must consider the fans who wish to watch the matches at a suitable hour, as was the case previously.”
He continued: “I prepared the players by getting them used to the final’s timing, and the change is not a problem for us, although we were surprised by the last-minute schedule change after the competition’s timetable was released weeks ago.”
He concluded: “Despite this factor, we are ready to play the match, and the players are fully prepared to compete in the final at the revised timing.”
The Moroccan national team will face its Malian counterpart in the final, which will take place this Saturday at 3 PM on the pitch of the Bachir Stadium in Mohammedia.
