Morocco faces Cape Verde tonight in a friendly match. The Maghreb selection is already qualified for the next CAN.
FIFA World Cup semi-finalists in Qatar have qualified for the next one CAN which will take place from January 13, 2024 to February 21, 2024. This Tuesday, June 12, the 11th nation in the world will play a friendly match at home against Cape Verde, which has almost validated its ticket for the next African competition. The Cape Verdeans are currently second in Group B with 7 points. They are ahead of Eswatini and Togo respectively by 2 points. Morocco will have to be wary of this nation which is on a good dynamic (3 wins, 1 draw). “There are no small nations in modern football,” coach Walid Regragui warned.
For this poster, he decided to call new players. As he explained in a press conference, “it will not be the same eleven against Cape Verde and South Africa” that the Moroccans will face on June 17th. Union Saint-Gilloise central defender Ismaël Kandouss should play his first minutes with the Moroccan jersey while Adam Masina, Fahd Moufi and Youssef Maleh sign their return to the group. We also find in this team, the stars of the selection with Ashraf Hakimi, Sofyan Amrabat or Hakim Ziyech. Abde Ez and Bilal El Khannouss are the two big absentees from the selection for this June rally.
The match between the two African nations is scheduled for 9 p.m. at the Prince Moulay Abdallah stadium in Rabat.
This friendly match between Morocco and Cape Verde will be to follow on the channel The Team which will broadcast the entire meeting.
