The Moroccan national team will face its Tunisian counterpart tonight, Friday, in a highly anticipated friendly match at the Grand Stade de Fès. This match is part of their intensive preparations for upcoming challenges, particularly the Africa Cup of Nations 2025, which will be held in Morocco.
National coach Walid Regragui aims to use the game between the Atlas Lions and the Carthage Eagles to assess the readiness of the players and evaluate the cohesion of the current lineup, especially as they face a strong and experienced opponent like the Tunisian team.
Regragui previously stated that such matches represent a genuine opportunity to evaluate performance and experiment with various gameplay strategies, especially since they take place on home soil in front of Moroccan fans eager to see their team in top form.
Despite the excitement surrounding the match, the “Atlas Lions” will experience significant absences, notably Brahim Diaz and Abdessamad Ezzalzouli due to injuries. This situation is expected to provide an opportunity for young and new players to prove themselves and secure a place on the team ahead of the continental tournament.
Kick-off is scheduled for 9 PM, amidst widespread anticipation from fans both inside and outside Morocco. This match marks an important milestone in the “Lions'” journey toward competing for a long-awaited title on home ground.
