Morocco Aims to Maintain Perfect Record Against Central African Republic in AFCON Qualifiers

Morocco is set to face Central African Republic in a crucial Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON) 2025 qualifying match on Saturday, October 12, 2024. The game will be held at Stade d’Honneur in Oujda, Morocco, with a kick-off time of 19:00 UTC.

Morocco, currently ranked 1st in Group B, has maintained a perfect record so far, having won against both Gabon and Lesotho. Despite already qualifying for the final tournament as the host nation, Morocco is keen to qualify on merit as well. Central African Republic, positioned 2nd in the group, started their campaign with a 3-1 win over Lesotho but suffered a 2-0 loss to Gabon in their previous match.

The Moroccan team will be without key players due to injuries, including Noussair Mazraoui, who is set to undergo a heart procedure, and midfielders Brahim Diaz and Hakim Ziyech. Meanwhile, Rennes defender Abdelhamid Ait Boudlal has earned his first international call-up.

Central African Republic will rely on Louis Mafouta and CSKA Sofia forward Goduine Koyalipou as their main threats in attack. Marseille‘s Geoffrey Kondogbia will be crucial in the midfield, while Hugo Gambor and Sadlock Ndobe will man the backline.

Fans can watch the match live through various streaming services, including Fubo, Fanatiz, and beIN SPORTS in the United States. For those abroad, using a virtual private network (VPN) may be necessary to access these streaming services.
