The Morocco U23 national football team is scheduled to play two friendly matches against their counterparts from Ivory Coast later this month. The fixtures are part of the teams' preparations for upcoming continental competitions.
The first match is set to take place on Thursday, March 26, 2026. The second and final friendly of the double-header is scheduled for Monday, March 30, 2026. Both games will be held in Morocco.
These matches serve as crucial preparation for the 2027 Africa U-23 Cup of Nations qualifiers. The tournament itself will determine which African nations qualify for the men's football tournament at the 2028 Summer Olympics in Los Angeles.
The Moroccan squad, led by head coach Issame CharaΓ―, will use these games to assess player form and tactics. The Ivorian team is also expected to field a strong side as both nations aim to build competitive squads for the qualification cycle.
