Morocco - Tunisia: "This won't be an exhibition match," warns Ferjani Sassi
Interview
After their impressive 2-0 victory over Burkina Faso, Tunisia is gearing up for another showdown against Morocco. The match is set for Friday, June 6 in Fez, right in the heart of the FIFA international window.
But beyond the friendly status of this encounter, Tunisian captain Ferjani Sassi was quick to make his team's intentions crystal clear:
We're going to Morocco to win. They might think it's just an exhibition match or the inauguration of a renovated stadium. But they'll see that Tunisians are real men. We'll try to bring home the victory.
Powerful words, fitting for the occasion. This Morocco - Tunisia clash will mark the reopening of the Grand Stade de Fès, which has been closed for over a year for renovations. A symbolic stadium, a prestigious opponent, and a North African derby that is never truly friendly. Counting down the days to June 6.
