Morocco Faces Congo in Crucial World Cup Qualifying Match

Rabat, Morocco — Morocco is set to clash with Congo in a pivotal match for the 2026 World Cup qualifiers today at the Moulay Abdellah Sports Complex. The match kicks off at 3:00 PM local time, with both teams desperate for points as they navigate the competitive qualifiers.

Morocco enters this match on a high note, having secured five victories in their last five matches. In contrast, Congo has struggled with three draws and two losses in their last five outings, including two defeats in the current qualifying round. These results have left Congo with only one point in the standings, while Morocco boasts 21 points.

Historically, Morocco has dominated their encounters with Congo, winning both previous matches and scoring a total of eight goals against them. Congo’s defense has shown vulnerabilities, and Morocco will look to exploit this again.

Forward Dechan Moussavou is Congo’s most dangerous player and could pose a threat if given opportunities to attack. On the other hand, Moroccan striker Ayoub El Kaabi seeks to extend his scoring tally of four goals in his last five games as he aims to contribute significantly to his team’s success.

Fabrizio Cesana, Congo’s coach, has emphasized the need for his team to perform at their best against such a formidable opponent. He acknowledged the importance of this match, highlighting the potential for surprise plays to secure a positive result.

Moroccan coach Walid Regragui addressed the media yesterday, referencing the ongoing selection process for national team players, underscoring that some athletes have yet to finalize their commitments. This could impact team dynamics as they look to maintain their winning streak.
