Italy is reportedly eager to face Morocco in an international friendly, with the two teams possibly meeting next summer. Although the information remains unofficial at this stage, discussions have already taken place between the Italian and Moroccan football federations.
Since their early exit from the 2023 Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON), the Moroccan national team, known as the Atlas Lions, has enjoyed a remarkable run of form.
The team has won eight consecutive matches, a streak that includes a 9-1 record over the last ten games.
Their only draw came in a post-AFCON encounter, further demonstrating their resilience and skill.
Morocco’s dominance continued during the AFCON 2025 qualifiers, where they secured a perfect record, winning all six of their matches, which concluded in November.
Their impressive form has made them a highly attractive opponent for top European sides, and Italy appears to be keen on testing themselves against the North African side.
According to reliable sources, the Royal Moroccan Football Federation (FRMF) has been approached by the Italian Football Federation (FIGC) with the proposal for a friendly fixture.
The FRMF is reportedly open to the idea, recognising the challenge that facing a European powerhouse like Italy would present.
However, both federations are still discussing the details of the match, including the exact timing.
While a friendly match between Morocco and Italy has not been confirmed yet, the possibility of a summer encounter seems increasingly likely.
As the teams look to build on their respective successes, the proposed clash could serve as a valuable preparation for both sides ahead of upcoming international competitions.
