Doha, Qatar – The group stages of the FIFA Arab Cup Qatar 2025 reach a fever pitch today as Morocco takes on Saudi Arabia at the iconic Lusail Stadium. This decisive Group B clash will determine who advances as the group leader, with both regional heavyweights eyeing the quarter-finals.
The Stakes: Top Spot on the Line
Saudi Arabia currently sits at the top of Group B with a perfect record, securing six points from two matches. Morocco follows closely in second place with four points, courtesy of a victory and a draw.
While a draw would be mathematically sufficient for Morocco to book their ticket to the knockout stages, the Atlas Lions have no intention of playing it safe. Head coach Tarik Sektioui has made it clear that his squad is playing for the win to snatch the top spot from the Saudis.
Team Form
- Morocco: The Atlas Lions opened their campaign with a convincing 3-1 victory over Comoros, showcasing their offensive capabilities. However, a subsequent draw has left them needing a result today to guarantee safety without relying on other scores.
- Saudi Arabia: The Green Falcons have been clinical, already securing qualification after defeating both Comoros and Oman. Their goal now is to maintain their unbeaten streak and finish as group winners.
A Moroccan victory today would see them leapfrog Saudi Arabia to finish first. A loss, combined with an Oman victory in the other group fixture, could complicate Morocco’s path, making this a must-perform encounter.
