Morocco U17s Set for Canada and Japan Tests in Spain
The Atlas Cubs face Canada on Tuesday, June 3 at 4 p.m. (Moroccan time), before meeting Japan three days later on Friday, June 6 at 12:30 p.m.
Both fixtures will be held in Alicante, Spain.
The friendlies are part of the national team's build-up to the World Cup, which runs from 3 to 27 November. Morocco were drawn in Group B alongside Japan, New Caledonia and Portugal.
Speaking at a conference in Marrakech on Wednesday, head coach Nabil Baha said Morocco's co-hosting of the 2030 World Cup was an opportunity to unite the country and inspire a winning mentality.
'Hosting the tournament alongside Spain and Portugal is a chance to celebrate our culture and push for more success,' Baha said.
He also pointed to recent progress at the youth level, including the U-17s' AFCON performance, the U-20s' World Cup qualification, and the U-23s' place at the Paris Olympics.
'Morocco now enters every competition to win,' Baha added. 'Our aim is clear – to fly the Moroccan flag high on every world stage.' Tags: Moroccou17 afconU17 world cup

FIFA to Open Office In Morocco
The Royal Moroccan Football Federation (FRMF), in partnership with FIFA, is preparing to open the first African Office of the international football governing body on Moroccan soil. The initiative aligns with FIFA's role in the advancement and promotion of football, while taking into account the universal, educational, and cultural impact of the sport. The official inauguration is scheduled to take place on Saturday at the Olympic Stadium in Rabat, on the sidelines of the Women's AFCON final, and will be attended by a distinguished presence and delegations. This move follows the signing ceremony on December 17, 2024, involving Morocco's Head of Government Aziz Akhannouch, FIFA President Gianni Infantino, and FRMF President Fouzi Lekjaa. The agreement includes provisions to support and implement FIFA projects. Speaking at the time, Akhannouch said the opening of this office reflects the trust international sporting institutions place in Morocco, particularly after its selection to co-host the 2030 World Cup alongside Spain and Portugal. The new FIFA regional office will be based at the Mohammed VI Football Complex in Maamoura, Rabat.

England vs Italy – Preview & Score Prediction
Reigning champions England take on Italy today in the first semi-final of UEFA Women's Euro 2025. Kick-off is at 8 p.m. Moroccan time (GMT+1) in Stade de Geneve. England come into the tie as favourites but needed penalties to edge past Sweden in the quarter-finals, drawing 2-2 in regulation time after coming from two goals down. They eventually won the shootout 3-2 after seven rounds. Italy, meanwhile, are enjoying a landmark tournament. Their 2-1 win over Norway in the last round was their first knockout victory at the Euros since 1997. The winner will face either Spain or Germany in Sunday's final. England beat Italy 5-1 in a friendly in February 2024, with goals from Wubben-Moy, Hemp (2), Toone and Daly. Cambiaghi scored Italy's only goal. England captain Leah Williamson is available despite injury concerns. Off the pitch, England have spoken out strongly against racist abuse aimed at defender Jess Carter. 'We feel like it has gone past [taking the knee] now,' said Georgia Stanway. 'We want to tell people that what is being done isn't enough.' Manager Sarina Wiegman and players have urged tech companies to do more to tackle abuse. Italy captain Cristiana Girelli acknowledged their underdog status but struck a defiant tone. 'On paper, we might be [underdogs],' she said. 'But football is decided on the pitch, not on paper.' Girelli praised manager Andrea Soncin for instilling belief and clarity since taking charge post-World Cup. 'He gives us motivation, lets us express ourselves, and made us realise that everyone has their time,' she said. Soncin added: 'England are direct. They attack space well. But we're confident we have what it takes.' Predicted line-ups: England: Hampton; Bronze, Williamson, Carter, Greenwood; Walsh, Stanway, Toone; James, Hemp, Russo Italy: Giuliani; Oliviero, Salvai, Linari, Di Guglielmo; Caruso, Giugliano, Severini; Cantore, Girelli, Bonansea Prediction: The Lionesses to prove too clinical, despite Italy's spirited run. England 3–1 Italy Tags: englandItalyWomen's Euro

Morocco vs Ghana – Preview & Score Prediction
Morocco will face Ghana in the second semi-final of the 2024 Women's Africa Cup of Nations today at the Olympic Stadium in Rabat. Kick off is at 8 p.m. Moroccan time (GMT+1), and fans can catch the action live on beIN Sports, CANAL+, New WorldTV, SuperSport, Azam Media, SABC, Ziggo, BAND, SportTV, and Arena Sport. Morocco, semi-finalists for the second consecutive edition, are looking to reach their second straight final on home soil, having finished runners-up in 2022. Ghana are seeking their first-ever final appearance. Speaking ahead of the match, Morocco head coach Jorge Vilda acknowledged the physical strength of the Black Queens but insisted his players were ready: 'We want to beat Ghana and make Moroccans proud. It won't be an easy match, but we're well prepared. The players are highly motivated and focused.' He added: 'We know Ghana are physically strong and good collectively, so we must close spaces and stay organised. Reaching the semis is an achievement, but our ambition goes beyond that.' Ghana coach Kim Björkegren called the match 'the most difficult of the tournament' for his side, citing the home crowd, travel fatigue and short turnaround since their quarter-final win. 'We've analysed Morocco well. They're an experienced side with good quality. But our aim is clear – reach the final,' Björkegren said during Monday's press conference. The winner will face either Nigeria or South Africa in Saturday's final in Rabat. Score Prediction: A tight match, but the hosts' organisation and home support may tip the balance.
