Morocco Eyes Additional Friendly Matches Before 2022 World Cup in Qatar

Thus, there are strong chances that Morocco will play two more friendly matches before the official opening of the 2022 World Cup in Qatar. This is the 6th time the national team has qualified for the final phase of this major sporting event.

A lot of pressure on the shoulders of Walid Regragui who will have to surpass himself to take Morocco as far as possible. This is one of the reasons why he was appointed to replace Vahid Halilhodzic whose disagreements with certain players did not allow the World Cup to be prepared in a serene atmosphere.

Walid Regragui wants to give a new impetus to the national team, and has clearly demonstrated this during the two matches against Chile (2-0) and Paraguay (0-0). Encouraging results according to some experts, who have pointed out that this denotes the coach’s ambition for the Moroccan selection.

Moreover, according to the newspaper Al Mountakhab, two more friendly matches are planned to allow Regragui to correct any flaws before the start of the World Cup. The first could be held on November 16 against an African selection. The second will be against Denmark and will likely be held in Qatar on November 18, five days before Morocco’s first match against Croatia.
