Morocco-Mozambique: What time and on which channels to watch the friendly match in Tangier?
The Moroccan national team is entering its final preparation phase for the Africa Cup of Nations this Friday evening. The Atlas Lions will face Mozambique in a friendly match, a major test for coach Walid Regragui and the inauguration of the renovated Grand Stade de Tanger.
This match, which will be played at 8:00 pm, is crucial for Walid Regragui’s adjustments before the home AFCON. The opponent was not chosen at random. Mozambique presents a solid and compact defensive profile, operating in a low block. This is a typical style of play that Morocco expects to face during the group stage against teams like the Comoros or Zambia. Regragui’s goal is therefore to test the effectiveness of his attack against compact defenses.
A revamped squad to test the depth of the bench
This test is all the more important as the coach has to deal with notable absences in his defensive sector, particularly those of Achraf Hakimi and Nayef Aguerd, both injured. These absences force Walid Regragui to revise his plans and test the depth of his squad.
This match will be an opportunity to give playing time to new elements, such as the young Anass Salah-Eddine (PSV), called up for the first time. It will also allow key players returning, such as Romain Saïss and Soufiane Rahimi, to regain their rhythm. The coach could also take the opportunity to experiment with new tactical schemes.
Despite Morocco’s historical dominance over this opponent, the main risk will be to underestimate Mozambique and fall into complacency. The match will be broadcast live on the Arryadia and Al Aoula channels. These channels are available on most boxes in France and Belgium.
