2 January 2026
Match readiness and training notes
Elias Akhmoash, the Moroccan national team winger, confirmed the squad’s readiness to deliver their best performance to delight Moroccan fans ahead of the highly anticipated Round of 16 clash with Tanzania this Sunday at the Prince Moulay Abdellah Stadium, in AFCON 2025.
In statements to the official site of the Royal Moroccan Football Federation, Akhmoash stressed a positive, family-like atmosphere inside the camp and urged fans to keep backing the side at this decisive moment.
Morocco had two training sessions yesterday to prepare for the match. The morning session focused on physical and tactical aspects, boosting players’ readiness and drilling the details associated with the anticipated approach against Tanzania.
The evening session was dedicated to technical work, emphasizing player cohesion through drills on quick passing, off-the-ball movements, and finishing attacks effectively.
These trainings form part of the preparation plan laid out by the coaching staff, as Morocco aims to reach the quarterfinals.
The winner of the Morocco–Tanzania game will meet the South Africa–Cameroon survivor in the quarterfinals.
Punchline 1: If Morocco wins, the celebration will be so loud that even the coffee breaks will demand an autograph.
Punchline 2: Either way, I’ll need a calendar, because this team is turning matches into almost daily miracles.
