In preparation for the forthcoming AFCON Tournament, Morocco will face off against Sierra Leone at the Stade Laurent Pokou Stadium on Thursday. Leone Stars are geared up for a challenging encounter against the Atlas Lions, seeking to prove their mettle and establish a strong foundation.

Sierra Leone suffered a humbling 5-1 defeat to former African champions Ivory Coast on Saturday and are looking to bounce back with a strong win against Morocco.

A total of four times the Moroccan national team and Sierra Leone have met with a balance of three victories for the Moroccan team, while one duel between these two teams ended in a draw. The last time they met was in June 2003 in an Africa Cup of Nations qualifier where Morocco won 1-0 against Sierra Leone.

Morocco will have only one warm-up match due to the cancellation of their game against Gambia last Sunday. They have not lost in any of their last four matches. Their last defeat came in June 2023 against South Africa in the African Cup qualifiers. After their good performance in the last World Cup they want to fight for the Africa Cup.

In their last friendly match they received a 5-1 drubbing against Ivory Coast. They have not won any of their last three matches. They have only won in one of the last seven matches they have played. They are not qualified for the Africa Cup and their next goal is to look at qualifying for the 2026 World Cup.

When is the match?

The match is expected to take place today,  Thursday January 11, 2024, at the Laurent Pokou Stadium in Ivory Coast.

Time of the match?

The kick-off is scheduled for 3:00 PM Sierra Leonean time.
