Morocco Announce Squad To Face Bafana

Morocco have released their squad for their African Cup of Nations qualifier against South Africa next month.

The Atlas Lions will host South Africa on 9 June in Morocco after their opener in the 2023 AFCON qualifiers against Zimbabwe was cancelled following the Warriors exclusion from the qualifiers.

As a consequence, the top two teams from Group K will qualify, with Morocco facing South Africa at home, before trips to Liberia and Mzansi.

Morocco’s squad includes the likes of Achraf Hakimi, Munir El Haddadi and Youssef En-Nesryi, as the hosts will look to start their 2023 AFCON with a win over Hugo Broos’ side.

Vahid Halilhodzic’s side, who sit in 24th position in the latest FIFA ranking, will also face the United States of America in a friendly on 02 June.

Meanwhile, Broos will confirm his final Bafana squad on Thursday, 26 May after announcing an initial 37-man preliminary squad.
