In an impressive display of skill and teamwork, the Moroccan futsal team, known as the Lions, wrapped up their friendly series against Saudi Arabia with a second consecutive victory. On Tuesday evening, the Lions triumphed over their opponents with a score of 6-3 at the Al Inbiâat covered hall in Agadir, reinforcing their positive momentum just weeks ahead of the upcoming Africa Cup of Nations (CAN) 2026.
The Moroccan squad is progressing well in their preparations. Following a solid 3-1 win against Saudi Arabia last Sunday, the national futsal team demonstrated their prowess once again by dominating the game on Tuesday night. The players, under the guidance of coach Hicham Dguig, showcased an exceptionally effective offensive performance, with standout contributions from Youssef El Makkasri, Bilal Bakkali, and Youssef Jouad, each netting two goals. Youssef Er-Raddaf also joined the scoring, adding to the team's impressive tally.
This recent victory not only highlights Morocco's superiority during this double-header but also underscores their preparation strategy as they gear up for the CAN tournament scheduled to take place in the Kingdom from October 12 to 21, 2026. After their earlier triumph over Bosnia-Herzegovina, where they emerged victorious twice, the Lions are building on a strong foundation of success.
With less than two months remaining until the CAN, the players are steadily gaining confidence and developing essential team dynamics. This ongoing series of matches serves as a critical testing ground for Hicham Dguig's squad, as they work to refine their strategies and ensure they are fully prepared for the significant continental challenge that awaits them, including matchups against Algeria, Zambia, and Libya in the group stage.
