Morocco A’ lands in Qatar as the favorite

The Atlas Lions rely on a hybrid squad, blending the ardor of youth and the experience of foreign championships. The group includes several local African Champions (CHAN) players, crowned last August in East Africa, as well as emerging talents such as striker Amine Zouhzouh, winger Youssef Mehri and full-back Anas Bach. To supervise these promises, the coach has called on seasoned veterans used to international competitions, such as Abderrazak Hamdallah, Tarik Tissoudali and Achraf Bencherki, who all play in regional or European leagues.

Tarik Sektioui, a coach accustomed to podiums

At the head of this selection, Tarik Sektioui brings an expertise validated by convincing results: a Confederation Cup with Berkane, a bronze medal at the 2024 Paris Olympics and the recent triumph at the CHAN. The technician has set as a first objective to get through the group stage, where Morocco will face Saudi Arabia, Oman and the Comoros, before aiming for the final.

This competition represents a double opportunity for the players: that of expanding the national record and of showing themselves to integrate the first selection or seduce great clubs. To achieve this, the team will be able to count on the fervor of the Moroccan community residing in Qatar, ready to recreate the electric atmosphere of the 2022 World Cup.
