The Moroccan national team for locally-based players will fly out to Nairobi next Sunday, July 27, aboard a special flight, ahead of the 2024 African Nations Championship (CHAN).
Before departure, the Atlas Lions will play one final warm-up match behind closed doors against Burkina Faso this Thursday at 6pm, at the municipal stadium of Kenitra.
Head coach Tarik Sektioui revealed his final squad list on July 23. Morocco have been drawn in Group A alongside hosts Kenya, Angola, Zambia, and DR Congo.
The Moroccans will kick off their campaign on Sunday, August 3, against Angola at Nyayo Stadium. They’ll then take on Kenya at the Moi International Sports Centre on August 10, before facing Zambia on August 14 at the same venue. Their final group stage clash will be on Sunday, August 17, against DR Congo – again at Nyayo Stadium.
Sektioui will be hoping to guide the Atlas Cubs through a tricky group and emulate the triumphs of previous CHAN editions.
