World Champions Argentina Eye Clash with Morocco's Atlas Lions

The Argentine football team could play a friendly match against Morocco during the November break.

Currently in a training camp in Miami for the match against Puerto Rico this Tuesday, the Scaloneta sees its November program becoming more precise. While the first friendly match against Angola in Luanda is confirmed, the second, initially planned in India, is about to be canceled in favor of a trip to Morocco. The two matches should take place on Monday, November 10 and Tuesday, November 18, respectively. However, these dates remain to be confirmed.

The Royal Moroccan Football Federation (FRMF) has already expressed its interest in such a match. "We are ready," said one of its members to Olé. The match could be held at the Prince Moulay Abdellah stadium in Rabat, with a capacity of 70,000 and recently inaugurated. This match against Morocco would represent a real test and a challenge for Argentina, the current world champion. The Tangier pitch is also mentioned.

A semi-finalist in the 2022 Qatar World Cup, Morocco is the first African country to qualify for the 2026 World Cup. The Moroccan team, led by Walid Regragui, has world-class players such as Achraf Hakimi (PSG), Brahim Díaz (Real Madrid), Sofyan Amrabat (Betis), Yassine Bounou (Al Hilal)... The Argentine Federation is working to confirm this second friendly match in November, which will be the last for the Scaloneta in 2025.
