In the inaugural match of the 2025 Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON), Morocco’s U-17 national squad showcased an impressive display as they convincingly defeated Uganda with a scoreline of 5-0 during Group A action at Stade Bachir in Mohammédia.
The Confederation of African Football (CAF) commended the youthful Atlas Lions for their dominant win, emphasizing not only the outstanding performance of the players but also the vibrant ambiance generated by the Moroccan supporters, who filled the seats to enthusiastically back their squad during the Eid al-Fitr festivities.
The manager of Morocco, Nabil Baha, acknowledged that scoring an early goal set the right mood for the game. “Getting on the scoreboard so quickly boosted the team’s morale,” he commented. “Beginning the competition with a victory was vital for keeping alive our chances of moving forward.”
Even though the victory was impressive, Baha highlighted the necessity for enhancement. “There are several defensive errors we must address to prevent potential threats near our goal area,” he said. “The team isn’t accustomed to playing with such a large audience, yet they managed the stress effectively and delivered an outstanding display,” he concluded.
Morocco is set to play against Zambia in their second group-stage match on Thursday at 8 p.m. local time inMohammédia.
