Morocco confirm friendly matches with Senegal and DR Congo

Morocco will play Senegal and Democratic Republic of Congo during the next international break in October, the country’s football governing body have announced.

Vahid Halilhodzic’s men will play Senegal national team on October 9 at the Prince Moulay Abdellah Stadium in Rabat before playing host to DR Congo four days later at the same venue.

Both matches will be played 7pm local time as preparation for their double-header Afcon qualifying fixture against Central African Republic on November 9 and 17 respectively.

Morocco have not been in action since their 3-0 victory against Burundi in their 2021 Africa Cup of Nations qualifiers back in November 2019.

The Teranga Lions were last in action in November when they defeated Eswatini 4-1 away from home in an Afcon qualifier.

Next month, they resume their 2021 Afcon qualifiers with fixtures against Guinea-Bissau.
