Summoned by coach Vahid Halilhodzic, Kévin Malcuit and Selim Amallah are expected in Morocco starting tomorrow, Monday, October 7, 2019. In the meantime, the Royal Moroccan Football Federation (FRMF) is working to get them Moroccan passports.
Vahid Halilhodzic’s list, the very first since his arrival at the head of the Moroccan national football team, is announced with many surprises and in total break with that of his predecessor.
The Moroccan international, Rachid Alioui, after having saved his team, Angers, during the match against FC Toulouse with a brace, repeated the feat with Amiens, scoring a superb goal.
The Atlas Lion playing for Schalke 04 could benefit from a new contract. Amine Harit has had a fantastic start to the season, putting him in a good position for a contract renewal.
A few years after refusing to join the Atlas Lions, the best player of the 2019 Africa Cup of Nations and African Champion, has come back to the reasons that led him to choose Algeria over Morocco. In an interview with BeIN Sport, Ismael Bennacer, the AC Milan player, explained that the Royal Moroccan Football Federation (FRMF) did not make him convincing sports proposals.
In preparation for the 2021 Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON) qualifiers, the Moroccan national team will face Libya and Gabon in the upcoming FIFA dates in October.
The Moroccan national team gained two points in the new FIFA ranking, published on Thursday, September 19. It thus positions itself in 39th place worldwide.
Atlas Lion, Younes Belhanda, was the victim of a double jaw fracture on Friday, September 13, during the match between Galatasaray and Kasimpasa. However, the duration of his unavailability is not mentioned in the team’s medical report.
Atlas Lions coach Vahid Halilhodzic does not believe his players will qualify for the 2022 World Cup, at least not with today’s level of play.
Due to the delay in the delivery of "Puma" equipment, the Atlas Lions continue to wear the "Adidas" jerseys. A situation that could force the Federation to pay a fine if "Adidas" takes legal action.
In the run-up to the derby of the Atlas Lions against Burkina Faso, Vahid Halilhodzic faced the press, before whom he lifted a corner of the veil on what will have to change in terms of discipline, under his management.
No victory, on Friday September 6 evening, for Vahid Halilhodzic’s first match at the head of the Moroccan national team. The Atlas Lions had to settle for a draw against the Burkina Faso team.
