The Moroccan national team begins its campaign in the Arab Cup today with an opening match against Comoros. The "Atlas Lions" will be looking for a strong start in the tournament, which is being held in Doha. Although Morocco is participating with a reserve squad, they are theoretically favored given the significant progress Moroccan football has made in recent years.

Coach Tarik Sektioui affirmed that the team's primary objective is to advance from the group stage, emphasizing that a fighting spirit will be key to success. The squad features experienced players such as Hamdallah, Azarou, Chehab, and Harimat, while Bencherki is absent due to injury.

Meanwhile, the Comoros national team enters this edition with high morale after overcoming Yemen in the qualifiers. Led by coach Hamada Jambay, who favors an attacking style, the team is determined to take the initiative against Morocco despite the strength of their opponent.

The match between the two teams will take place today, Tuesday, at Khalifa International Stadium, kicking off at 1:00 PM Moroccan time.
