Morocco in shock

Morocco-Liberia, a match counting for CAN qualifying, was naturally postponed after the terrible earthquake which hit the North African country.

Morocco is in mourning. The earthquake that struck the country during the night from Friday to Saturday caused the death of hundreds of people. A provisional report established at midday on Saturday showed 920 victims.

Local experts specified that the epicenter of the earthquake was located in the province of Al-Haouz, southwest of Marrakech. While international aid is coming, the Morocco-Liberia match will not be able to play.

This meeting on the last day of qualifying for the African Cup of Nations (Group K), scheduled for Saturday evening at the Grand Stade in Agadir, has been postponed, announced a press release from the Royal Moroccan Football Federation.
