Spain should expect a tough game against Morocco, warned Moroccan international Achraf Hakimi, according to whom the Atlas Lions intend to create a surprise at this World Cup .

Morocco is playing for a place in the quarter-finals this Tuesday against Spain. The odds make Spain the favorite, but for coach Luis Enrique Martínez, nothing is won in advance against a team that has several players with huge potential.

Former Moroccan international Abdeslam Ouaddou, current general manager of the Beninese club, Loto-Popo, salutes the performances of the Atlas Lions who have secured their ticket for the round of 16 of the 2022 Qatar World Cup and says he is convinced that Morocco is capable of beating Spain or even reaching the final.

More than a favorite, Morocco is "confident" against Spain, their opponent in the round of 16 of the World Cup, analyzes Moroccan journalist Achraf Ben Ayad.

14 of the 26 players on the Moroccan national team were born abroad, making it the team with the most "foreigners" at the World Cup. These dual-nationals, including Achraf Hakimi and Munir Mohamedi born in Spain, are the strength of the Atlas Lions who face Spain on Tuesday in the round of 16.

On the FIFA platform, tickets for the round of 16 match between Morocco and Spain are sold out, forcing Moroccan supporters to turn to the black market where tickets are sold at exorbitant prices.

The referee who will officiate the round of 16 match between Morocco and Spain is known. FIFA has published his name, as well as those of his assistants.
