Here we are. Finally. After several weeks of suspense, particularly on the presence or not of Lionel Messi, the football match between Morocco and Argentina is taking place tonight in Tangier and will be broadcast live on television.
The Royal Moroccan Football Federation has just terminated the functions of Mark Wotte, coach of the Olympic football team.
All this fuss for nothing. After weeks of rumors, player Lionel Messi will ultimately not be present at the match that is to oppose Morocco to Argentina, which greatly annoys the Royal Moroccan Football Federation (FRMF).
There will ultimately be no Africa Cup of Nations this year for the Atlas Cubs, nor the Olympics next year, despite their 1-0 victory yesterday over the team from the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC).
The Saudi club Al-Nasr would have in a very official and somewhat tactless way warned FIFA that Nordin Amrabat should not play in the friendly match against Argentina on March 26 in Tangier. It is (indirectly and "more directly") asking the Royal Moroccan Football Federation (FRMF) not to line him up.
He’s not coming after all. The player Lionel Messi will not make the trip to Morocco next week for the match the Argentines are to play against the Atlas Lions.
The last match of the Moroccan national football team counting towards the 2019 Africa Cup of Nations (CAN) qualifiers ended this Saturday in a 0-0 draw against the Malawi team.
Will he play? Won’t he play? Will he play? Won’t he play? Messi’s presence or absence in the friendly match between the Atlas Lions and the Argentine Albiceleste continues to make the media waver. Some talk about pubic injuries, others about... invisible emotional fatigue compromising his presence in the match...
Moroccan fans of Angel Di Maria have reason to be disappointed. The Argentine Football Federation has just announced the absence of the Paris Saint-Germain star player due to injury.
ONCF will mobilize its high-speed trains on the occasion of the football match between the Moroccan team and Argentina scheduled for March 26 at the Grand Stade de Tanger.
Morocco’s last match in the Africa Cup of Nations qualifiers is today against the Malawi team. This match will be broadcast live on Moroccan channels.
The list of 18 players to play tomorrow against the Malawi team as part of the qualifiers for the Africa Cup of Nations to be held next June in Egypt has just been published by Hervé Renard.
