Morocco is increasingly establishing itself as a hub for African football. In March, the kingdom will host twelve qualifying matches for the 2026 World Cup, while several selections from the continent have chosen to play on Moroccan lawns, due to a lack of compliant facilities in their countries.
A busy schedule in several cities
From March 19 to 25, several meetings will be held at different stadiums in the kingdom, distributed as follows:
• The Moroccan national team will face Niger on March 21 and Tanzania on March 25 at the Stade d’Honneur d’Oujda.
• Ethiopia will challenge Egypt on March 21 at the Stade Larbi Zouali in Casablanca, which will also host Central African Republic - Madagascar and Central African Republic - Mali on March 19 and 24.
