Morocco vs Benin 2025 : what time and on which channel? :

To end the June international window on a positive note, the Atlas Lions must beat the Cheetahs in style. Here's where and when to watch the match live.

Ahead of the game this Monday, June 9th, at the Grand Stade de Fez, for a second friendly match in preparation for the 2025 African Cup of Nations against Benin. A victory is certainly within reach, but it's the manner in which it plays that will matter.

This match could allow Walid Regragui to break the record of eleven consecutive victories, set under Vahid Halilhodžić. Changes are expected in the starting lineup. Captain Achraf Hakimi, like goalkeeper Yassine Bounou, is expected to be rested, which leaves room for some adjustments to the squad.

Facing the Beninese Cheetahs, ranked 91st in the FIFA rankings, the Atlas Lions are the obvious favorites. But beyond the result, the main focus will be on reassurance. Against the Carthage Eagles, the national team displayed a lackluster performance, clearly lacking punch, and the absence of certain key players isn't enough to justify this lack of attacking energy.

To end this international window on a positive note, the coach is expected to review his approach, as several observers have pointed out. This is especially true given the rich talent pool, capable of adequately filling in for the absences.

A victory against Benin would also be important for the FIFA rankings, the next update of which is scheduled for early July. Currently 12th, Morocco could hope to move up at least one place.

The match, which will be played to a sold-out crowd, also has a festive aspect for the spiritual capital of the Kingdom. As against Tunisia, the stands at the Grand Stade de Fez promise to be lively. It remains for the Atlas Lions to roar and deliver a performance worthy of the populr enthusiasm.

Morocco-Benin can be followed live, starting at 9 p.m., on the third channel of the SNRT group, Arryadia.
