This Friday, September 5, Morocco’s national team is set to play a decisive clash against Niger in the 7th round of the 2026 World Cup qualifiers. Leaders of Group E with five wins in five matches, the Atlas Lions approach the evening with confidence. Yet, the occasion goes beyond football alone: the setting of the game adds a unique dimension.
Return to the Moulay Abdellah Complex
The match will take place at the Moulay Abdellah Complex in Rabat, recently renovated in preparation for the 2025 Africa Cup of Nations and the 2030 World Cup, which Morocco will co-host. Upgraded to meet international standards, the stadium is ready to welcome an atmosphere worthy of African football’s biggest nights.
