Awaiting to deliver on Tuesday, October 15, 2019 at 8pm at the Grand Stadium of Tangier, against Gabon, a better copy than the one delivered with Libya, the Atlas Lions multiply the training sessions under the leadership of the coach, Vahid Halilhodzic.
The list of 26 Atlas Lions who will take part in the matches on October 11 against Libya and then on October 15 of the same month against Gabon is known. Revealed by Vahid Halilhodzic, this list of players is the very first one drawn up by the coach since his arrival at the head of the technical staff.
Medhi Benatia is about to sign his international retirement. He has not only been absent from the Atlas Lions’ first two friendly matches, but he will also not play the next two, scheduled for October 11 and 15, against Libya and Gabon.
In preparation for the 2021 Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON) qualifiers, the Moroccan national team will face Libya and Gabon in the upcoming FIFA dates in October.
This time, the departure is final. The President of Gabon, Ali Bongo Ondimba, will leave Morocco after several months of convalescence following a stroke.
While he only returned to Gabon in the night from Sunday to Monday, media sources claim that Ali Bongo Ondimba has returned to Morocco, just 48 hours later. He has been convalescing there for several months.
King Mohammed VI is said to have arrived on Monday morning in Libreville, Gabon, aboard his private jet.
