Morocco to host World Cup Qualifiers against Niger and Tanzania in Oujda
Wednesday 26 February 2025 - 15:37

The Moroccan national football team will play its upcoming World Cup qualifiers against Niger and Tanzania on March 17 and 24, 2026, at the Stade Chérifien in Oujda, sources from the Royal Moroccan Football Federation (FRMF) confirmed to Hesport.

The FRMF opted for Oujda’s stadium to host the fifth and sixth rounds of qualifiers, with Morocco facing Niger as the away team in the first match.

This decision marks a departure from earlier statements by FRMF President Fouzi Lekjaa, who had previously announced that Morocco’s matches in March would be held at the Prince Moulay Abdellah Stadium in Rabat.

Notably, Morocco played several of its African Cup of Nations qualifiers, including rounds three, four, and six, at the Stade Chérifien in Oujda.

As it stands, Morocco leads its World Cup qualifying group with nine points from three wins. Niger and Tanzania follow with six points each, while Zambia sits fourth with three points, and Congo is last with no points. Eritrea withdrew from the qualifiers earlier and is not participating.
