The Moroccan national team will face Lesotho on Monday, November 18, in their final Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON) qualifier for the 2025 tournament. The match will take place at the Stade d’honneur in Oujda at 8:00 PM, and will be broadcast on Arriyadia and BeIN Sports 2.

This game presents a perfect opportunity for Morocco to confirm their strong form. Head coach Walid Regragui is expected to rotate the squad, providing some players who didn’t feature against Gabon the chance to showcase their abilities ahead of future competitions.

Currently, Morocco leads Group B with 15 points, having secured their qualification as hosts. The team remains undefeated, while Gabon, also qualified, sits second in the group with 7 points.

In their previous match, Morocco secured a dominant 5-1 victory over Gabon in Libreville. The goals came from Jamal Harkass, Brahim Diaz (who scored twice), Youssef En-Nesyri, and Ismaïl Saibari.

With a perfect qualification record at stake, the Atlas Lions aim to close out this phase with a flawless performance while solidifying their status as a competitive team preparing to host the 2025 AFCON.

Meanwhile, the team concluded its training camp on Sunday, November 17. All players participated in the final session, except for Achraf Hakimi, who left the camp after receiving clearance from the Royal Moroccan Football Federation and the coaching staff to return to Paris and join his club, Paris Saint-Germain, for training.

Regragui’s goal is clear: to finish the qualifiers on a high note, maintaining a perfect record and boosting the team’s morale ahead of the tournament.
