Solid leaders of the regional competition after two days, the young Moroccans are having an exemplary start to their campaign. The selection advances with a perfect record, having successively dominated Tunisia (2-0) and swept Algeria (3-0) without ever conceding a single goal since the start of the competition.

This defensive solidity is accompanied by a formidable efficiency in the danger zones. The inaugural success had been sealed thanks to the achievements of Mohamed Habib Zinbi and Rami Lougmani. The latter is also establishing himself among the key players of the squad with already two goals scored to his personal tally.

Although this UNAF zonal tournament serves as an elimination round, the stakes are exclusively sporting for the Moroccan selection. The country being the official host of the U17 Africa Cup of Nations scheduled for this year, the group is automatically qualified. The objective is therefore to maintain a winning momentum and to raise the level of demand before the future deadlines.

Facing them, the young Pharaohs come with less playing time but intact credibility. Egypt has only played one match so far, snatching a victory against the Tunisians thanks to a penalty, which gives them a clear advantage in terms of managing physical efforts.
