Which TV channel will broadcast the matches?
We do not yet have a confirmed official broadcaster announcement for either leg. It would be misleading to name a television channel before the rights-holder or relevant federation publishes the information. Broadcast details may be announced closer to matchday. Follow updates from the Royal Moroccan Football Federation and the Confederation of African Football.
Why are these fixtures important?
The two matches will test Morocco’s preparation, squad depth and ability to manage different match situations. The away leg demands concentration, while the return match in Rabat may give Morocco the benefit of home support. Tactical discipline, midfield control and taking chances at key moments will matter across the tie. The coaching staff will also monitor players’ fitness during the November international window.
