Morocco’s national futsal team won the international friendly tournament after beating Portugal 6-3 in the final match. The game took place on Sunday at the Mohammed VI.
Ismail Amazzal was the star of the match, scoring a hat-trick to lead Morocco to victory. The other goals came from Soufiane Charraoui, Othman Idrissi, and Anass Dahani, who each added one goal.
The team showed strong teamwork and attacking power throughout the game, especially against a high-level opponent like Portugal, the 2021 world champions.
Earlier in the competition, Morocco beat China 8-0 in their opening game. Portugal had also won its first match after beating Afghanistan 3-1.
Morocco’s coach Hicham Dguig expressed his happiness after the victory. “I’m very happy with this first-ever win against Portugal, who are ranked third in the world,” he told Moroccan sports channel Arriyadia after the game.
He added that playing and winning against top teams like Portugal helps the national team improve its FIFA ranking.
“This tournament is important for improving our FIFA ranking. Even though it is a friendly tournament, we want to give it an international value,” Duig added
The team moved up to sixth place in the latest FIFA world ranking, released earlier this month. This one spot jump follows Kazakhstan’s fall to seventh place after losing more than 60 points.
Meanwhile, Morocco continues to lead African countries.
The tournament brought together teams from different continents and gave Morocco a chance to show its strength in futsal. The national team’s strong performance, especially against top-ranked Portugal, is a big boost ahead of future international competitions.
