The Moroccan national futsal team, known as the 'Lions', concluded their friendly double-header against Saudi Arabia with a resounding second victory. On Tuesday evening, at the Al Inbiâat indoor arena in Agadir, Morocco triumphed with a score of 6-3, showcasing their impressive form just weeks ahead of the 2026 African Nations Championship (CAN).
Morocco's preparation for the upcoming tournament is progressing smoothly. After a dominant 3-1 win over Saudi Arabia last Sunday, the national futsal team maintained their momentum by securing another convincing victory on Tuesday. The match took place at the Al Inbiâat venue, where the players delivered an outstanding performance.
Under the guidance of coach Hicham Dguig, the 'Lions' displayed an exceptionally effective offensive strategy. Key players Youssef El Makkasri, Bilal Bakkali, and Youssef Jouad were instrumental in the scoring, with both Bakkali and Jouad netting two goals each, while Youssef Er-Raddaf also contributed to the scoreline.
This latest victory further emphasizes Morocco's superiority throughout this double confrontation. Following their initial win of 3-1, the 'Lions' managed to score six goals against a Saudi team that nonetheless found the net three times.
This second encounter served as an important test for coach Hicham Dguig's squad. The two matches held in Agadir are part of Morocco's preparation for the upcoming futsal CAN, scheduled to take place in the Kingdom from October 12 to 21, 2026. This positive streak builds upon the encouraging results the team achieved earlier against Bosnia and Herzegovina, whom they defeated twice.
With less than two months remaining before the CAN, Hicham Dguig's players are continuing to build confidence and develop their team dynamics, ensuring they are well-prepared for the continental showdown at home against Algeria, Zambia, and Libya in the group stage.
