Peru will not be Morocco’s only rival on this FIFA date, the African team will also collide with Brazil. This match will be played on Saturday, March 25 at the Tangier stadium. It will be the third time that they meet on a court, they previously met in the 1998 World Cup in France and in a 1997 friendly.
The CAF team was the surprise of the highest football competition. They had to share group F with Croatia, Belgium and Canada and all the experts in this sport thought that the two European teams were going to advance to the round of 16, but ‘the lions of the atlas’ ended up qualifying as first with seven points (two wins and a tie).
Then, those led by Regragui gave the ‘bump’ by drawing with Spain in the 90 minutes and leaving it out on penalties (3-0). They did not get tired of making history and beat Portugal by the slightest difference, getting into the top four in the world.
Morocco beat Portugal 1-0 and qualified for the semifinals of the Qatar 2022 World Cup.
Morocco fell 2-0 to France in the semifinals and had the opportunity to get on the podium of the tournament organized by FIFA, however, they lost 2-1 to Croatia. Despite not winning third place, the Africans’ campaign was outstanding and will go down in history.
The Peruvian team, for its part, has not yet announced the players who will face the tough matchup with Morocco, however, Juan Reynoso will start a microcycle with players who stand out in League 1. This will take place from March 14 to 18 at the Villa Deportiva Nacional (Videna) and the official list for the tour in Europe will come out next Saturday.
The main novelties in the ‘Cabezón’ roster were: Erick Gonzáles from Carlos A. Mannucci, Aldair Fuentes from Universidad César Vallejo, Ray Sandoval from Atlético Grau and Brandon Palacios from Deportivo Binacional.
