The postponement of the game was due to the earthquake that struck the Al Haouz region, necessitating a later date for the fixture.
Morocco’s national team had already secured their place in the AFCON finals last March after a draw (2-2) between South Africa and Liberia in Group K. In previous match days of this group, Morocco defeated South Africa (2-1) and Liberia (2-0).
This group only consists of three teams after Zimbabwe was suspended by the International Federation of Association Football (FIFA).
