Despite the elimination of Leotho, Walid Regragui, the coach of the Atlas Lions, takes this meeting very seriously. “Victory must be accompanied by performance,” he declared, keen to maintain the level of play that has made the team’s reputation since he took office.
The national coach recalled the difficulty of the first leg and the importance of “ending this FIFA window with a victory in front of our home crowd”. Aware of the fans’ expectations, he wants to offer them a convincing show to strengthen their confidence.

Regragui also spoke about squad management, recognizing the difficulty of giving playing time to all players. “We will give a chance to those who have not yet played and to elements that I want to discover,” he promised.
This match is therefore an opportunity for the Atlas Lions to continue their momentum after their big victory against Gabon (5-1) and to confirm their status as a great African team. At the same time, it will also make it possible to refine preparations for the CAN 2025 that Morocco will organize. Finally, the supporters are expecting a spectacle and goals, the perfect match in short!
