Morocco-France U20: Kickoff Time, Channels and Live Streaming

Morocco’s U20 team is one match away from writing a new page in its history. After losing their semi-final in 2005, they now have an opportunity to secure a place in the final. They face France this Wednesday in the semi-finals of the U29 World Cup in Chile. Mohamed Ouahbi, the national coach, understands the enormous challenge awaiting the Atlas Cubs: “It is a team with strong individual players. They had not played much together, but they grew collectively throughout the tournament. The turning point was their courageous victory against Japan, one of the favorites. We will face a confident team. Even though the coach has often changed his tactics, they have maintained a certain freshness.”

The Moroccan players are also aware of what is at stake and prefer to combine focus with humility. “They play between the lines, in the spaces, and rely on their individual qualities. But we know what to expect,” warns Naïm Byar. For their part, Moroccan supporters hope that the Atlas Cubs will avoid suffering a defeat against France—despite putting up a worthy fight—as the Atlas Lions did three years ago in Qatar. The Moroccan coach avoids making such a comparison: “These are not the same players, nor is it the same context. I do not think we should mix the two stories. This time, it is the U20s playing against France’s U20s. We will do everything to win and reach the final.”
