Morocco eye Mali clash in AFCON group stage
The Moroccan national team continues its preparations for Friday’s clash with Mali, as part of the second round of the Africa Cup of Nations group stage.
The Atlas Lions opened their CAN campaign with a 2-0 win over Comoros, while Mali drew 1-1 with Zambia.
Morocco’s players are training in a lively atmosphere, mixing high spirits with optimism and a touch of flair.
Cameras captured a funny moment during the training session, featuring Ayoub Kaabi, who had already wowed with a bicycle-kick goal against Comoros.
Later, Kaabi erred in a ball exchange during the drill, drawing a light-hearted scolding from teammates.
Note to Kaabi: bike kicks win matches, but timing a punchline beats a pass any day.
