Official: Madagascar to Face Morocco in Rabat Friendly Ahead of the World Cup

The Madagascar Football Federation officially announced on Thursday that the Madagascar national team will play a friendly match against the Morocco national team, as part of the Atlas Lions' preparations for the World Cup finals.

The match will be held on the pitch of the Moulay Abdellah Stadium in the capital Rabat, though no date has yet been set. The game represents an important test for the players of national coach Mohamed Ouahbi before they travel to the United States to begin their World Cup campaign.

This clash between Madagascar and the Atlas Lions comes to make up for the cancellation of Morocco's match against El Salvador.

It is worth noting that, in their second friendly, the Morocco national team will face Norway on Sunday 7 June at 8:00 p.m. Morocco time, at the "Sports Illustrated" Stadium in the city of Harrison, New Jersey, in the United States.
