The Moroccan national football team, also known as the Atlas Lions, is set to kick off their summer 2021 schedule with two friendlies in early June against Ghana and Burkina Faso.
The matches are seen as vital for the team to prepare for the upcoming FIFA Arab World Cup in December as well as the Africa Cup of Nations in January 2022.
Morocco coach Vahid Halilhodzic is expected to field a strong squad in these matches, including experienced players like Hakim Ziyech, Youssef En-Nesyri, and Achraf Hakimi, as well as some up-and-coming talents such as Amine Harit and Sofyan Amrabat.
The Atlas Lions are currently ranked 35th in the FIFA world rankings and have had a successful run in their recent matches, including victories over Ivory Coast and Tunisia and a draw against Senegal.
In contrast, Ghana and Burkina Faso have struggled to keep up their form, with both teams having failed to qualify for the upcoming Africa Cup of Nations.
Despite this, however, the Atlas Lions are not taking any chances and are eager to test their tactics and skills against these opponents before the big tournaments later this year.
Football fans around the world will be eagerly watching these friendlies, hoping to catch a glimpse of the Atlas Lions' game plan for the upcoming international competitions.
