Undefeated and merciless! This is how one could summarize the journey of the Atlas Lions of futsal so far in the 2024 CHAN.

A demonstration of force that propels Morocco to the top of group A and places them in the semi-finals of the competition.

Far from letting up in the second half, Hicham Dguig’s men continued their dominance, scoring 4 more goals through Bilal Bakkali, Othmane Idrissi, Anas Dahmani (40th) and Anas El Ayane. Zambia, completely overwhelmed, never managed to find the flaw in the Moroccan defense.
