Morocco Seeks Redemption Against South Africa in Crucial AFCON Qualifier

Having left a taste of unfinished business after their previous confrontation against Cape Verde, the Atlas Lions are obliged to show their teeth. In the absence of Sofyan Amrabat, who is in Europe to finalize his transfer to a new club, coach Walid Regragui is forced to innovate. He will be able to rejoice in the return of his captain, Romain Saïss, and his goalkeeper, Yassine Bounou, who had been rested for the match against the Blue Sharks of Cape Verde. The stakes are high: they will not only have to win, but do so brilliantly to dispel the doubts.

Beyond the absences and returns, the Moroccan coach has other challenges to meet. The technician will have to, for example, reintegrate Youssef En-Nesyri from the start of the match and potentially position Oussama Idrissi to replace Abdelhamid Sabiri. Aside from these changes, the rest of the team will remain unchanged. Less than six months before the Africa Cup of Nations, Saturday’s match represents an opportunity for Morocco to regain confidence and position itself as a serious contender.

On which channels to watch the match and at what time?

Like the previous Morocco matches in the Africa Cup of Nations qualifiers, the match will be broadcast live on the beIN Sports 1 FR and beIN Sports HD 4 channels at 4 pm Moroccan time, and 5 pm in Europe.
