Summary
- Morocco hosts AFCON 2025 and faces Uganda in a friendly.
- Morocco has won its last 10 matches; Uganda aims to build form.
- Key players like Hakimi and Aguerd are out for Morocco.
Morocco, the host nation for the 2025 Africa Cup of Nations, is set to play a friendly match against Uganda as part of their tournament preparations. The Atlas Lions, who are widely expected to contend for the trophy, have been in dominant form, securing victories in their last 10 encounters.
Uganda, meanwhile, is using this match to gauge their chances in the upcoming AFCON, marking their return to the tournament after a hiatus in 2019. Despite failing to qualify for the World Cup, the Cranes have achieved a respectable run of results, winning four of their last five games and conceding only one goal.
The Moroccan squad will be without key defender Achraf Hakimi due to an ankle injury, and Nayef Aguerd is also sidelined. Uganda is expected to reinstate goalkeeper Onyango Denis for this crucial warm-up fixture.
