Ghana lose Morocco friendly as Atlas Lions turn to Mali

Morocco will face Mali in an international friendly on Sunday, October 4, after their planned meeting with Ghana was cancelled.

Ghana lose Morocco friendly as Atlas Lions turn to Mali

Ghana's football team will not face Morocco in a friendly match this October as initially planned, following the cancellation of their fixture. The Atlas Lions have now agreed to play against Mali instead, with the match set to take place at the Grand Stadium of Tangier on Sunday, October 4, at 6:00pm GMT. The decision comes after Morocco's friendly with the Black Stars was also called off.

This change presents an opportunity for both teams to prepare for their upcoming 2027 Africa Cup of Nations qualifying campaign matches. Ghana, who have struggled in their group stage campaign, losing both matches to Côte d'Ivoire and The Gambia, will look to improve their form against Mali. Morocco, on the other hand, has started their qualifying campaign strongly, winning their first two games against Tunisia.
