As part of its preparatory campaign ahead of the World Cup, Morocco is scheduled to play two friendly matches against Madagascar on June 2 and Norway on June 7.
Morocco already played its first friendly today, dominating the match 5-0.
The Atlas Lions are currently ranked 8th in the FIFA rankings, making them the highest-ranked African national team.
All eyes are now on the national team, with fans eager to see them roar again and replicate the historic 2022 World Cup run, where Morocco became the first Arab and African team to reach the semi-finals.
Morocco is in Group C, alongside Brazil, with the match scheduled for June 13.
June 19 will feature Morocco vs Scotland, followed by Morocco vs Haiti on June 24.
Many see the group as manageable, but observers emphasize that no match is easy at the World Cup, where all underdog teams will be striving to become the new Morocco by replicating the Atlas Lions’ historic run in 2022.
