Morocco will kick off its participation in the African Nations Championship (CHAN 2024), with a game against Angola today as part of Group A.
The game will take place at Nairobi’s Nyayo National Stadium at 4 p.m. Moroccan time.
Several channels will air the game, including BeIN Sports, Canal+, Morocco’s Arryadia TV, in addition to CAF TV.
Morocco’s giants are dominating the tournament, as they claimed two trophies in the competition’s history in 2018 and 2020.
Head coach Tarik Sketioi is determined that his superstars win a third title this year.
The coach emphasized the importance of the first game, saying it is “very important to approach the first match with a victory.”
He said this will allow the players to gain more confidence and a positive state of mind.
The Atlas Lios were beaten in 13 CHAN matches. They won 11 games and secured two draws.
CHAN’s 2024 will mark their fifth appearance in the competition’s final.
Angola is aware that they are facing a giant this evening. Angola head coach Pedro Goncalves said the team is “strong” and “wants to win.”
“But so do we. And I’m confident that hunger won’t exceed ours,” he said.
CHAN this year is taking place in Kenya, Uganda, and Tanzania. This is the first time for the competition to take place in three countries.
Group A, where Morocco is placed, also includes Kenya, Zambia, and the Democratic Republic of Congo.
“Morocco’s ambition is clear — to win the title and reinforce their status as a powerhouse of local football on the continent,” the Confederation of African Football (CAF).
Many expect the Moroccan team to win tonight. But as every coach says, no match is an easy game in Africa.
