Morocco - Syria: Time and channels, everything you need to know about the explosive quarter-final of the Atlas Lions
The Atlas Lions are fighting for survival in the competition this Thursday against Syria. Having emerged as group leaders after defeating Saudi Arabia, Tarik Sektioui’s men must now eliminate an undefeated opponent to hope to reach the semi-finals.
The national A’ team is getting down to business in Doha. This Thursday, December 11, Morocco will face Syria at 3:30 pm for the quarter-finals of the 2025 Arab Cup. This direct elimination match is the first real decisive test for a selection that has achieved a clean sweep in the first round.
The Moroccans are arriving with confidence. Leaders of Group B with seven points, they have validated their status by beating Saudi Arabia’s Hervé Renard (1-0) last Monday. This victory, added to the win against the Comoros and the draw against Oman, puts Tarik Sektioui’s players in a positive dynamic. However, they will have to be wary of a solid Syrian team, qualified in second position in Group A with five points, and who have not conceded any defeats during the group stage.
The winner of this duel will extend their stay in Qatar for a potentially electric semi-final against Algeria or the United Arab Emirates. The match will take place in the atmosphere of the 2022 World Cup stadiums and will be broadcast live on BeIN Sports Max 7 as well as on the Al Kass channel.
