Morocco Sweeps Burundi with a Five-Goal Friendly

The Moroccan national team achieved a wide victory over its Burundian counterpart with five goals to none in a friendly match that brought them together as part of the "Atlas Lions" preparations for the World Cup finals, in a test that revealed the team's readiness before the global event.

The match was held at the Mohammed VI Football Complex behind closed doors, at the request of coach Mohamed Wahbi, as part of a policy aimed at maintaining confidentiality and full focus within the team.

The first half ended in a goalless draw before the Moroccan national team exploded offensively in the second half. Youssef El Kaabi scored twice, along with another brace from Tawfiq Ben Tayeb, while Soufiane Benjida added the fifth goal, securing a 5-0 victory for the "Atlas Lions."

Coach Mohamed Wahbi is preparing to hold a press conference this evening to announce the final squad that will compete in the World Cup finals, a step eagerly anticipated by Moroccan fans to learn about the team's lineup for the global event.

The Moroccan national team is scheduled to play two additional friendly matches before the World Cup, the first against Madagascar on June 2 in Rabat, and the second against Norway on June 7 in New Jersey, as part of an intensive preparation program.

The "Atlas Lions" are competing in the World Cup within Group C alongside the teams of Brazil, Scotland, and Haiti, in a strong group that increases the importance of the current preparatory phase.
