Okay, so, today I’m diving into the timeline of the Zambia vs. Morocco national football teams. It’s a bit of a rabbit hole, but a fun one!
First, I started by just searching for some basic information on the history of matches between these two teams. You know, just getting a feel for how often they’ve played and what the general results have been like.
Then, I tried to get a rough overview of their historical results. Turns out, they’ve played 7 games since 2008. Zambia only won 1 of those, while Morocco took 5, and they drew once. That gives a rough idea of the match-up, with Morocco generally coming out on top. The total goal count for Zambia is 5 (which is an average of 0.7 per game), and for Morocco, it’s 13, averaging 1.9 per game. Also, I learned that Zambia won the Africa Cup of Nations in 2012 and became the most successful team in the COSAFA Cup after winning the 2023 edition.
I also dug into specific matches. For example, I saw that they played a friendly back in 1973, with Zambia winning 4-0. I found out that in 1961, Morocco won all five matches in the Pan-Arab Games, and their third match, against Saudi Arabia, was their biggest-ever victory.
I also tried to find some starting lineups for recent games. I stumbled upon some names like Nader, Hassan, El Maataoui, Abdessadki, and Yacine. I think one of the guys has played 6 games and scored 3 goals, and another one has 9 games under his belt with 3 goals as well. Also I saw the names of the players El Kaddouri.
Finally, I wanted to find out when their next match is. Looks like they’re set to play on June 7, 2024, at the Stade Adrar stadium in Agadir, Morocco. That’s part of the FIFA World Cup qualifiers. Gonna be a big one!
So, yeah, that’s my deep dive into the Zambia vs. Morocco football timeline. It’s interesting to see how these two teams have fared against each other over the years. A bit of a lopsided rivalry, but still full of history!
