To write new glory, Atlas Lions are on a historic mission to the world champions.

The Moroccan national team is looking forward to fulfilling a new dream when they face their French counterpart, the reigning champions, in the semi-finals of the 2022 FIFA World Cup in Qatar today, Wednesday, at the Al-Bayt Stadium in Qatar. Despite the big gap between the two teams, what the Moroccan team has presented in this edition of the World Cup, overtaking such old teams as Croatia, Belgium, Spain and Portugal, gives the players the confidence to achieve the aspirations of their fans. In this difficult matchup, the Moroccan team relied on the strength of their defense, which is by far the strongest in the tournament, conceding just one goal, and that was friendly fire against Canada. Missing today is Morocco, main defender Nayef Akrad, who suffers from a torn posterior ligament in the thigh, while there are doubts about the participation of center back Roman Says, who was eliminated from the match against Portugal with a back muscle problem. It will be a heavy burden for Morocco’s defenders to stop Kylian Mbappe, the French Express and the tournament’s top scorer with five goals. The ability of the Moroccan team to counter-attack on the right flank will decrease thanks to the efforts of Hakimi and Hakim Ziyech if its players are forced to focus on working to reduce the danger of Mbappe.
