Morocco vs Malawi AFCON Qualifier Rescheduled for March 22

While it was initially scheduled for Saturday, March 23, the match between Morocco and Malawi counting for the 2019 Africa Cup of Nations qualifiers has just been postponed.

The decision was made after an agreement between the two national football federations: the Royal Moroccan Football Federation (FRMF) and the Football Association of Malawi (FAM) and the match will finally take place on Friday, March 22, 24 hours before the scheduled date.

In the first leg, the Atlas Lions had won convincingly 3-0 against their home crowd in Casablanca and the return match will be played at the Kamuzu Stadium in Blantyre, with a capacity of 65,000.

Morocco coach Hervé Renard should probably spare the most experienced players and give other players a chance, as the Atlas Lions will go there without any stakes since they are already qualified for this edition to be held next June in Egypt.

It should be noted that Morocco will meet the Argentine team in a friendly match a few days later (March 26 exactly) and Lionel Messi’s presence is announced, which has been negotiated for... 600,000 euros.
