The upcoming friendly match between Morocco and Ghana is at risk of cancellation due to a surprising development in the preparations of both teams ahead of the match scheduled for Sunday, October 4, 2026, at the Grand Stadium in Tangier.
Reports have indicated that the Ghana Football Association has informed the Royal Moroccan Football Federation of its apology for not participating in the match, due to an internal crisis linked to outstanding financial dues for the Ghana national team players.
The same data indicates that the financial dispute between the federation and the players has overshadowed the national team's preparations, as several players from the Black Stars refused to travel to Morocco, raising doubts about the Ghanaian team's participation in the match just days before it.
In light of these developments, the Royal Moroccan Football Federation has begun studying available alternatives by searching for another national team to face Morocco at the same time, in case a solution cannot be reached to allow the Ghanaian national team to attend in Tangier.
This crisis comes at a time when the Morocco national team is continuing its preparations for upcoming challenges, having started its journey in the Africa Cup of Nations Qualification 2027 with two victories over Gabon and Lesotho.
The fate of the friendly match between Morocco and Ghana remains tied to the ongoing crisis within the Ghanaian national team, as they await an official decision that will determine whether the match will go ahead as scheduled or be cancelled and replaced with another friendly.
