The Moroccan national football team, the Atlas Lions, maintained their dominance over the Benin national team during the second half of the match that concluded moments ago at the Grand Stade de Fès within the Fes Sports Complex.
The Atlas Lions opened the scoring moments before the end of the first half with a spectacular scissors kick by player Ayoub El Kaabi.
Currently (Monday, June 9, 2025), the second friendly match between the Atlas Lions and Benin is taking place at the Fes Sports Complex. This match is part of the intensive preparation series the national team is undergoing ahead of the 2025 Africa Cup of Nations, which will be held in Ivory Coast.
The encounter with Benin represents an important test for the coach and players, as the technical staff, led by the national coach, aims to try out both the starting lineup and substitutes, as well as all members of the Moroccan national team, and to experiment with new tactics before the official start of the continental tournament. This match also offers players the opportunity to demonstrate their physical and technical readiness and to strengthen team cohesion.
The choice of the Fes Complex to host this friendly match reflects the great importance the Moroccan Football Federation places on providing the best conditions for the national team. The Fes Complex is distinguished by its advanced infrastructure that meets the requirements of international matches, contributing to creating an ideal atmosphere for both players and fans alike.
The arrival of the Atlas Lions in Fes was met with enthusiastic support from local fans who expressed their encouragement and excitement to back the national team during this crucial preparation phase. Everyone hopes that this match will be a strong start that enhances Morocco’s chances of competing for the 2025 Africa Cup of Nations title.
