Gerardo Martino: The Moroccan National Team is Africa’s Champion and a True Test Before the 2026 World Cup
Argentinian Gerardo Martino, the former coach of the Paraguay national team, stated that the Moroccan national team, as the champion of the Africa Cup of Nations, represents one of the most significant friendly tests for his team ahead of the 2026 World Cup.
Martino explained in statements to Paraguayan media that the Moroccan team has high competitive strength and features players of great caliber, making them a tough opponent and a genuine benchmark for assessing readiness.
The speaker noted that he did not follow the latest appearance of the “Atlas Lions,” but emphasized that Morocco’s continental value is enough to anticipate a strong match on the field.
The friendly match between the two teams is expected to take place on the evening of Tuesday, March 31, 2026, at the Polydome Stadium, starting at 7 PM Moroccan time.
