The Argentine national team will meet its Moroccan counterpart today, Wednesday, at 4 p.m. Paris time, at the “Geoffroy-Guichard” Stadium in Saint-Etienne.
The match comes within the opening round of the second group of football competitions at the Euro 2024 Olympic Games.
The Moroccan national team is playing in the second group of the Paris Olympics, which includes: Argentina, Ukraine, and Iraq.
The Argentine national team enters the match searching for the three points, relying on its prominent stars, and is classified as one of the most prominent candidates to win the gold medal.
The Argentine national team is led by coach Javier Mascherano, who aspires to lead his country to a third Olympic gold, after being present at the 2004 and 2008 gold medals.
Mascherano relies on distinguished players, most notably Manchester City striker Julian Alvarez and defender Nicolas Otamendi from Benfica.
For its part, the Moroccan national team is seeking to make a strong start in the tournament, hoping to overcome the complex of exiting from the group stage that has haunted it since the 1972 Munich Olympics.
The hopes of Moroccans have been strengthened in light of the remarkable brilliance of Moroccan football recently, as the first team achieved fourth place in the Qatar World Cup 2022, and the Olympic team won the African Nations Under-23 title last year.
The Moroccan national team relies on its professional stars, led by Achraf Hakimi, the Paris Saint-Germain player, and Sufyan Rahimi, the Emirati star of Al Ain, who led his team to win the 2024 AFC Champions League.
The Moroccan national team’s squad for the Paris Olympics includes goalkeepers: Mounir El Mohammadi, Rachid Ghanimi, Mohamed Reda Assama, defense: Ayman El Ouafi, Mehdi Boukamer, Achraf Hakimi, Akram Naccache, Zakaria El Wahidi, Adel Tahif, Haitham Manawath.
In the middle: Benjamin Bouchwari, Yassin Kashta, Osama Tergalin, Bilal Al-Khanous, Osama Al-Azouzi, Amir Richardson, Mehdi Mobarik, and in the attack: Mehdi Mohoub, Abdel Samad Al-Zalzouli, Elias Akhoumash, Elias Ben Saghir, Sofiane Rahimi.
