Morocco Set to Face Niger in Upcoming CAN 2027 Qualifiers

Morocco's National Team Prepares for Key Matches Against Niger

The Moroccan national football team is gearing up for two crucial matches against Niger, scheduled for November 13 and November 17 as part of the 2027 Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON) qualifiers. These matches represent the third and fourth rounds of the qualification process, and the stakes are high for the Lions of the Atlas.

According to the official schedule released by the Royal Moroccan Football Federation (FRMF), the first match will take place at the Mohammed V Sports Complex in Casablanca on Friday, November 13, at 20:00 Moroccan time. This will be followed by a second encounter on November 17 at the Prince Moulay Abdellah Stadium in Rabat, also kicking off at the same time. Notably, while Niger is designated as the home team for this match, it will still be held on Moroccan soil, further showcasing the country's commitment to hosting international football events.

Under the leadership of coach Mohamed Ouahbi, the Moroccan team aims to maintain its perfect record in Group A. After securing victories against Gabon and Lesotho, both ending in a 2-0 scoreline, the Lions of the Atlas sit at the top of the group with six points from two matches. The upcoming fixtures against Niger will be pivotal in their quest for qualification for the prestigious tournament.
