Morocco Seeks Round of 16 Spot in Africa Cup of Nations Clash with DR Congo

Morocco faces the Democratic Republic of Congo this Sunday, January 21, 2024 at 3 p.m., at the Laurent Pokou stadium (San Pedro) in an attempt to validate their ticket for the round of 16 of the Africa Cup of Nations (CAN Côte d’Ivoire 2024). The Atlas Lions, who already have three points, could take the lead in group F. This match can be followed live on the channels Arryadia TNT, Bein Sport HD 1 Max, Bein Sport HD 2 Max and Canal+ CAN.

A few days before this second match, Walid Regragui expressed concerns about the schedule (2pm local time) of the match. He fears the heat at this time of day. "I don’t understand how we can play at this time, for the tournament, for the image of our football... But we will adapt, we have no choice," said the coach of the Moroccan national team at a press conference after the crushing victory (0-3) over Tanzania on Wednesday. "In Africa, we fight against the opponent but also against the climatic conditions. It is a tournament that will be played on the bench and the management of the strong moments," added the coach of the Moroccan national team.
