Morocco's national futsal team, the Atlas Lions, began their 2026 Africa Futsal Cup of Nations qualification campaign with a victory. The team, coached by Hicham Dguig, defeated Cape Verde in the first leg of their second-round qualifying tie. The match was part of the qualification pathway for the tournament to be held in Morocco later in 2026.
The team displayed a strong performance, applying high pressure and demonstrating effective offensive play. Key players like Bilal El Bakkali and Idriss Raiss contributed to the dominant display on the court.
With this result, Morocco has positioned itself favorably to advance to the next stage of qualification. The team's immediate focus shifts to their next fixture, a match against Libya, which is scheduled for Tuesday, April 14, 2026. A positive result in that match would be a significant step toward securing a spot in the continental finals on home soil.
