Preview Mali U-17 Vs Morocco U-17: The Moment Of Revenge Les Aigles

JAKARTA - Mali U-17 will meet Morocco in the quarter-finals of the 2023 U-17 World Cup. Both teams hold the title of a black horse in this biennial tournament.

The fight between the two teams will take place at the Manahan Stadium, Solo, Central Java, Saturday, November 25, 2023 night. Les Aigles, nicknamed Mali U-17, will be eyeing their revenge for Morocco U-17.

Mali U-17 reached the quarter-finals after stopping the former two-time champion, Mexico U-17. Unmitigated, they crushed the team nicknamed El Tri with a landslide score of 5-0.

On the other hand, Morocco U-17 reached the last eight with great difficulty. They escaped by beating Iran 4-1 through a penalty shootout after a 1-1 draw during normal time.

Tickets for the quarter-finals are Morocco's furthest U-17 journey in the history of their two participations. Previously, they only reached the last 16 in 2013.

Meanwhile, Mali U-17 previously set the finals in the 2015 edition of Chile. Unfortunately, at that time they failed to get the title after losing against Nigeria U-17.

After that failure, the Soumaila Coulibaly team now came to Indonesia with the ambition to repeat their success.

However, Morocco U-17 is a strong opponent who can interfere with Les Aigles' hopes. Previously, in the semifinals of the 2023 U-17 Africa Cup, Mali U-17 failed to reach the final after losing to Morocco U-17.

Seeing the score, Morocco U-17 is certainly in a position of high confidence, while the U-17 Mali will carry a mission of revenge for their continent mate.
