Portuguese coach Pedro Consalves, the head coach of Al-Jaish Al-Malaki Club, announced the squad of 21 players who will participate in today’s highly anticipated match against Raja Sporting Club. This match is part of the postponed first round of the professional league competitions and holds great importance for both teams in their local league journey.
The final squad of Al-Jaish Al-Malaki includes prominent names in various positions, as Consalves relies on a mix of experience and youth to achieve a positive result. Notable players include Reda Tagnaouti and Mohamed Jamjami in goal, along with defenders Nader Al-Luqmani, Anas Bash, and Jamal Al-Shammakh. In midfield, standouts include Nabil Marmouq, Marwan Al-Lawadni, and Ahmed Hammoudan, while the attack is led by Youssef Al-Fahli, Merville Ndounkit, and Alain Okeilo.
On the other hand, the military team will miss several players for various reasons. Leading the absentees is Khaled Ait Ourkhan due to injury, which will exclude him from this important match. The list of excluded players also includes Ayoub Al-Khayati and Marwan Oujdo, and their exclusion was a technical decision by Portuguese coach Pedro Consalves, who preferred to give opportunities to other players in the 21-man Al-Jaish Al-Malaki squad.
The eyes of the fans today turn to the Olympic Stadium hosting the match, after Al-Jaish Al-Malaki had to move the match from the Prince Moulay Abdellah Sports Complex. This change came due to the closure of the sports complex for maintenance and necessary preparations in anticipation of hosting the upcoming match of the Atlas Lions national team against Niger. This match reflects a special significance in the journey of both teams in the local championship.
