U17 World Cup – Qatar 2025: The Atlas Cubs Ready to Challenge Japan
The moment has come for the Moroccan U17 team to embark on their FIFA U17 World Cup journey. Led by coach Nabil Baha, the young Atlas Cubs will play their opening match against Japan this Monday, marking the start of Group B competition.
The match is scheduled for 14:30 (French time) at Aspire Academy Pitch No. 1 in Qatar. On Sunday, November 2, the team completed their final training session on an auxiliary field, concentrating on tactical precision and mental focus.
“Our final session was about fine-tuning key details before facing a disciplined and quick Japanese side,” said coach Nabil Baha.
Assisted by his technical staff, Baha emphasized the importance of maintaining sharpness and cohesion as the team heads into the tournament. The Moroccan U17 squad, inspired by their recent success as reigning African champions, aims to extend that momentum on the global stage.
The players draw motivation from their senior counterparts, who recently claimed the U20 world title, hoping to continue Morocco’s rise in international youth football.
