Morocco’s u-17 squad sets sights on victory against Tunisia in Lunaf tournament opener
Morocco’s national under-17 football team kicks off their Lunaf Tournament campaign today, facing off against Tunisia in what promises to be a competitive and crucial opener.
The young Atlas Lions, led by coach Aziz Lahoussein, are aiming for a strong start in the tournament as they look to secure an early win against their North African rivals.
The highly anticipated match will take place at Morocco’s Père Gekko Stadium, with the opening whistle set for 5 p.m. local time.
Coach Lahoussein has been focused on preparing his squad for the challenges ahead, hoping to capitalize on this tournament as both a proving ground and a stepping stone for the team’s long-term goals.
Victory in the Lunaf opener could put Morocco in a favorable position as they work toward their primary objective in the competition: to finish among the top two teams and secure qualification for the African U-17 Cup of Nations.
This tournament represents a pivotal opportunity for the young players, not only in terms of their international ranking but also as a platform to showcase their development on home soil.
As the team takes to the pitch, Moroccan fans are expected to show their support, rallying behind a squad filled with emerging talent.
The Lunaf Tournament will not only gauge the skills and readiness of these players but will also reflect the strength of the team’s preparation under Lahoussein’s guidance.
Morocco’s U-17s now face the test of translating their training into performance, with a place in the prestigious continental championship firmly in their sights.
