The Atlas Cubs continue their journey in the U17 World Cup. Qualified as one of the best third-placed teams, Nabil Baha’s players will face the United States this Friday, November 14, at 4:45 PM, on the pitch at Aspire Zone Pitch 7 in Doha.
After a challenging start to the tournament against Japan (2-0) and Portugal (6-0), Morocco made a spectacular comeback by crushing New Caledonia (16-0), marking the largest victory in the history of the competition. This resounding success has restored confidence to the young Lions as they approach the knockout stage.
Today’s opponent, the United States, has shown strength with three victories in as many matches: 1-0 against Burkina Faso, 2-1 against Tajikistan, and 1-0 against the Czech Republic. The Americans come into this match full of confidence.
Morocco will need to elevate its level of play to hope to continue its adventure. If they qualify, the Atlas Cubs will face the winner of the African duel between Zambia and Mali in the Round of 16.
