Reports indicate that an agreement has been solidified for the Moroccan national football team to engage in a friendly match against Uruguay, set to take place in Lille, France, during the upcoming international break in March.
This revelation comes on the heels of previous speculation regarding a potential friendly encounter between Uruguay’s Celeste and the Atlas Lions.
The uncertainty surrounding the scheduling of the match was further fueled by the intricate balance of the round of 16 finals of AFCON 2023, with considerations for a tour to China.
Clarifying the uncertainty, the Uruguayan press has now affirmed that the anticipated confrontation is indeed on the horizon, as reported by Soccer212.
While the exact date of the fixture is yet to be defined, recent discussions have centered around the window of March 21-22 as a potential timeframe for the clash.
This forthcoming match will mark the second occasion that the semi-finalists of the 2022 World Cup will grace French soil within a few months. Notably, in September of the preceding year, following the seismic events in Morocco, Achraf Hakimi’s squad had already competed in the north of France against Burkina Faso.
The match, held at the Bollaert Stadium in Lens, concluded with Morocco securing victory through a narrow 1-0 scoreline.
The prospect of the Atlas Lions once again showcasing their football prowess on French turf has generated anticipation among fans, who eagerly await the confirmed details of the encounter against Uruguay.
As Morocco continues to navigate international football landscapes, this friendly fixture serves as an exciting addition to their schedule, offering players and supporters alike a compelling spectacle on the eve of the upcoming international break.
