Description

This is series 31: A preview of Morocco’s players for the 2025 African Cup.

This episode is part 2 of the full mediacast.

In part 1, we created a list of the candidates and their likelihood of being selected for the final squad.

We looked at several other things: club affiliations of the players; their games and formations in their last cup and over the recent period; the career biographies, especially of the main players; the recent participation of players over the last two years.

In this episode, we look at the squad selections and cover who made the squad and who didn’t. If there was a preliminary squad, we outline who was on it. We also make predictions as to who will be the starters, looking a the line-ups in their most recent games to help us.
