Live updates: Morocco vs Brazil international friendly

Morocco and Brazil, two teams among the top eight in the 2023 World Cup, will meet in a highly anticipated international friendly on Saturday in Tangiers. Brazil will be led by interim coach Ramon Menezes, following Tite’s departure after six years in charge. Morocco’s coach Walid Regragui will be hoping to build on his team’s historic run in the 2023 World Cup, where they became the first African team to reach the semifinals.

Brazil were knocked out of the World Cup at the quarterfinal stage by Croatia in a penalty shootout, while Morocco lost to France in a tight contest in the semifinals. This match will be the only one Brazil will play during the March international window, with players released to their clubs after the match. Meanwhile, the Atlas Lions will face Peru on March 28 in Madrid.

The sold-out match will feature some of the world’s top football stars, including Hakim Ziyech and Youssef En-Nesyri for Morocco, and Rodrygo, Rony, and Vinicius Jr for Brazil. However, Brazil will be missing injured players Thiago Silva, Neymar, and Marquinhos, as well as Liverpool trio Alisson, Fabinho, and Roberto Firmino.

Morocco’s 30-man roster for the two matches in the March 2023 window includes 20 World Cup stars, with goalkeeper Ahmed Reda Tagnaouti out due to injury and Azzedine Ounahi carrying a knock. Meanwhile, reports suggest that Manchester City’s goalkeeper Ederson, who has been suffering from stomach problems all week, will be replaced by Weverton in Brazil’s starting lineup.

The match will have limited international broadcast outlets, with Galvao Bueno’s ‘Canal GB’ YouTube channel covering the match for worldwide audiences. Viaplay will provide live access in eight European countries, while Moroccan broadcaster Arryadia will broadcast the match for the hosts. UK viewers with a bet365 account can also live stream the match through the bookmaker’s website or app.

Sporting News will be providing live score updates and commentary throughout the match.
