Morocco U17 World Cup: Morocco not afraid of Brazil
The reputation of Moroccan football continues to grow on the international stage. After a victory against Mali (3-2), the national under-17 team has qualified for the quarter-finals of the World Cup. The Atlas Cubs are now preparing for a major challenge: to face Brazil, one of the most titled nations in this category.
Far from being intimidated by the prestige of their future opponent, the young Moroccans are approaching this match with enthusiasm. Midfielder Moncef Zekri described this duel as "exciting", acknowledging the global power that the Seleção represents, while affirming that the team will give "everything" to win. This ambition is shared by the head coach, Ismail Aloud, who hammered that if Morocco respects the performing teams, it "fears no team". He promised a thorough analysis of Brazil’s strengths and weaknesses to approach the match with determination.
A victory against Mali that provides momentum
The qualification was obtained after an intense physical battle against Mali. Moncef Zekri highlighted the difficulty of this confrontation against an opponent with "physical strength and great intensity". For the coach, this success has brought a major psychological boost. He emphasized the composure and fighting spirit of his group, capable of "fighting in good times as well as in difficult moments".
This decisive quarter-final is scheduled for November 21 at 3:45 pm GMT, at the Aspire Zone complex in Doha. The match will be accessible to the greatest number, with a broadcast planned on Arryadia, BeIN Sports and the FIFA+ platform.
