The Moroccan national team is preparing to face its guest, Central Africa, this Saturday evening, in the third round of the 2025 African Cup of Nations qualifiers.
The “Atlas Lions” hope to achieve a positive result on the field of the Honorable Stadium in Oujda, strengthening their lead in the second group.
The two teams met on five previous occasions, with the Moroccan team succeeding in achieving three victories, while two matches ended in draws.
Important absences from the ranks of the Moroccan national team
Today’s match will witness notable absences from the Moroccan national team for various reasons, most notably injuries. Among those absent is Noussair Mazraoui, the Manchester United star, who suffered an injury during his team’s last match against Aston Villa, raising reports that he will have to undergo heart surgery that will keep him out of action for about a month.
However, the player Oussama Al-Sahraoui registers his strong presence, as he provides an outstanding performance this season with his team Lille, which won the Champions League at the expense of Real Madrid.
Also, the most notable absence is Real Madrid star Brahim Diaz, who was unable to participate due to injury.
The Moroccan national team lineup is expected to be as follows:
- Goalkeeping: Yassin Bono
- Defense line: Ashraf Hakimi – Abdel Kabir Abqar – Nayef Akrad – Adam Azno
- Midline: Sufyan Amrabat – Bilal Al-Khanous – Ezzedine Ounahi
- Offensive line: Elias Akhomash – Sufyan Rahimi – Elias Ben Saghir
The match will be held on the field of the Honorable Stadium in Oujda, starting at eight in the evening (20:00 GMT +1).
