Morocco vs Lesotho Postponed Due to Heavy Rain

Clash Called Off Hours Before Kick-Off

The international friendly between Morocco and Lesotho, scheduled for Saturday, June 11, has been postponed due to heavy rain in Oujda, Morocco.

Game Abandoned Due to Waterlogged Pitch

The decision to postpone the match was made by the referee just hours before the scheduled kick-off time of 8:30 pm local time (19:30 GMT).

The Honneur Stadium pitch was deemed unplayable after torrential rain hit the city throughout the day, leaving the surface waterlogged and posing a safety risk to the players.

New Date to be Announced

The Royal Moroccan Football Federation (FRMF) and the Lesotho Football Association (LeFA) are working to find a new date for the friendly.

The match was part of Morocco's preparations for the upcoming Africa Cup of Nations, which will be held in Ivory Coast from June 23 to July 23.

Morocco Unbeaten Under Regragui

Morocco, ranked 22nd in the FIFA World Rankings, are unbeaten in their last six matches under head coach Walid Regragui, including four wins and two draws.

Lesotho, ranked 145th in the FIFA World Rankings, will be hoping to use the friendly to prepare for their upcoming 2023 Africa Cup of Nations qualifiers.

Conclusion

The postponement of the Morocco vs Lesotho friendly is a disappointment for both teams, but the safety of the players must come first.

Fans will have to wait a little longer to see Morocco in action, but they can be confident that the team is well-prepared for the upcoming Africa Cup of Nations.
