Morocco Hosts Bahrain in Friendly, Gears Up for World Cup Qualifiers

On Thursday, October 12th, 2025, Morocco will welcome Bahrain to the Prince Moulay Abdellah Stadium for an international friendly match. This encounter is part of the Atlas Lions' preparations for their upcoming 2026 FIFA World Cup qualifying campaign, which will see them face Congo.

The Moroccan national team has been in impressive form of late, winning 15 of their last 16 games across all competitions. Their most recent victories came last month, when they secured a 5-0 home win over Niger and a 2-0 triumph against Zambia. Youssef En-Nesyri and Hamza Igamane were the goalscorers in the latter match.

In contrast, Bahrain have struggled to find consistency, winning just one of their last eight games. Their recent results include a 2-2 draw against Qatar and a 1-0 away defeat to the United Arab Emirates.

Given Morocco's impressive form and the visitors' recent struggles, the Atlas Lions will be strong favorites to secure a comfortable victory in this encounter. They have won both of their previous meetings with Bahrain, keeping clean sheets on both occasions.
