Morocco Faces South Africa in U17 AFCON Quarter-Final: Live Stream Info

Thursday 10 April 2025, by Said

Before the quarter-final of the U17 AFCON between Morocco and South Africa on Thursday in Mohammedia, coach Nabil Baha discussed the challenges of this knockout match, even though his players have already qualified for the 2025 World Cup. The match can be watched live tonight on several channels.

The coach acknowledged the increased tension: "In knockout matches, the pressure multiplies," while emphasizing that the experience of the group matches has strengthened the team’s confidence to "face all circumstances." Despite a certain fatigue felt, Baha insists on the need to "keep our concentration," especially on the mental and physical levels, considering it difficult to designate a favorite for the title.

The Moroccan approach is to analyze the opponent while focusing on their own strengths: "We focus more on our players, because it is up to the opponent to study us," Baha said, highlighting the importance of adapting the game of talents playing in Europe and demanding total commitment from each one.

While respecting South Africa, the coach expresses his confidence, reinforced by the home advantage: "We respect the opponent, but we have a good chance of winning on our soil and in front of our audience." Considering the preparation optimal and the level of play satisfactory, Nabil Baha concludes on the state of mind of his team: "Our team is ready for this match, with all the respect we owe to our opponent." The final preparations take place on Wednesday.

The match can be watched live on the Moroccan channel Arryadia at 8 pm Moroccan time, and 9 pm in France. It is also possible to watch the match live and for free on Fifa+.
