Does Hakimi play today? Where to watch Morocco x Mozambique live today in the International Friendly

The Morocco team faces Mozambique this Friday, November 14, 2025, in an international friendly that serves as preparation for the African Cup of Nations. The game takes place at Stade Ibn-Batouta, in Tangier, with the ball rolling at 4pm Brasília time, or 7pm local time. The confirmed absence of Achraf Hakimi, due to an ankle injury suffered in a recent match for PSG, changes coach Walid Regragui’s planning, who should reposition Noussair Mazraoui at right-back.

Mozambique, led by Chiquinho Conde, arrives at the clash with a full squad and without absences, seeking to test their defense against an elite opponent. The FIFA ranking places the Atlas Lions in 12th place, while the Mambas occupy 101st place, highlighting the technical disparity between the teams.

Walid Regragui ajusta a defesa com a lesão de Hakimi, que deve ficar afastado por seis a oito semanas, impactando a preparação para a CAN 2025. A escalação oficial, divulgada horas antes do apito inicial, mantém a base vitoriosa das eliminatórias.

Incumbent: Yassine Bounou; Noussair Mazraoui, Romain Saïss (C), Jawad El Yamiq, Youssef Belammari; Sofyan Amrabat, Azzedine Ounahi, Bilal El Khannouss; Brahim Díaz, Youssef En-Nesyri and Abde Ezzalzouli.

Reserves: Munir El Kajoui, Oussama Targhalline, Chadi Riad, Ilias Akhomach, Ismael Saibari, Eliesse Ben Seghir, Hamza Igamane, Ayoub El Kaabi, Sofiane Rahimi and Anass Salah-Eddine.

The forced change at right-back makes room for Mazraoui, who last played in the position in October, during the 1-0 victory over the Republic of Congo.

Mozambique likely line-up

Chiquinho Conde opts for continuity, repeating the scheme that guaranteed classification for CAN 2025, with an emphasis on defensive solidity and quick counterattacks. With no injuries reported, the team arrives in North Africa complete.

Probable lineup: Ernan Siluane; Bruno Langa, Edson Mexer, Reinildo Mandava, Nanani; Nené, Alfons Amade; Gildo Lourenço, Pepo, Geny Catamo; Stanley Ratifo.

Highlights include Reinildo, Atlético de Madrid defender, and Geny Catamo, Sporting CP winger, responsible for 70% of Mozambican goals in 2025. The midfield gains strength with Amade, who has played 45 games for the national team.

Historic dominates Morocco in head-to-head clashes

Duels between the teams are scarce, but they reveal clear superiority of the Moroccans, with convincing victories in all recent records. The latest clash reinforces the trend towards territorial dominance and offensive efficiency.

• 05/23/2014 – Morocco 4 x 0 Mozambique (friendly in Portugal)
• 2012 – Mozambique 1 x 0 Morocco (only victory for the Mambas, in the knockout round)
• Three Moroccan victories in the last four games, all without conceding goals

Recent form of selections

Morocco maintains an unbeaten record at home and uses the friendly to rotate the squad, compensating for Hakimi’s absence with depth on the bench. Recent results show defensive consistency and lethality in transitions.

Morocco’s last five games:

• 11/18/2025 – Morocco 3 x 0 Uganda (friendly, with Mazraoui on the side)
• 14/10/2025 – Republic of Congo 0 x 1 Morocco (World qualifier, Hakimi starter)
• 11/10/2025 – Morocco 5 x 0 Central African Republic
• 09/09/2025 – Lesotho 0 x 1 Morocco
• 09/06/2025 – Morocco 4 x 0 Gabon

Mozambique balances victories at home with stumbles away, prioritizing continental qualifications. The recent sequence indicates improvement in defensive compaction.

Mozambique’s last five games:

• 14/10/2025 – Mozambique 1 x 1 Guinea (CAN qualifier)
• 11/10/2025 – Swaziland 0 x 1 Mozambique
• 09/09/2025 – Mozambique 2 x 1 Mali
• 06/09/2025 – Algeria 3 x 0 Mozambique
• 07/07/2025 – Mozambique 0 x 0 Comoros (COSAFA Cup)

Numbers highlight Moroccan favoritism

Statistics from 2025 position Morocco as one of the most solid defenses in Africa, with just three goals conceded in 12 matches. Hakimi’s absence slightly reduces the average number of lateral assists, but the team compensates with volume of play.

• 88% success rate in home games this year
• Average of 2.5 goals per match, with 70% scored in the second half
• Average ball possession of 62% against African teams
• 4 clean sheets in the last 6 friendlies
• 75% efficiency in submissions from Brahim Díaz, Hakimi’s natural replacement in support

Mozambique registers progress in set pieces, but vulnerabilities in aerial duels persist against opponents ranked in the top 20.

Individual highlights on the field

Without Hakimi, Brahim Díaz takes the lead at Real Madrid, with dribbling and vision of the game that will add up to 12 assists in 2025 for the national team. Ayoub El Kaabi, top scorer with 15 goals, seeks to score early to open up spaces. On the Mozambican side, Stanley Ratifo, with eight goals this season, leads the fast attack.

Geny Catamo, with a speed above 34 km/h recorded in European leagues, represents a constant threat on the wings, having contributed to 40% of recent offensive plays.

Preparation for CAN 2025 boosts intensity

The friendly marks the last test before the African Cup, with Morocco in Group A alongside Comoros, Mali and Zambia. Regragui uses the match to evaluate defensive adaptations without his captain, while Conde seeks balance in the group of death, which includes Cameroon and Ivory Coast.
