Sektiuou, the 47-year-old young helmsman who has been at the helm of the Moroccan national Olympic team since March, has reinvigorated the squad.
The value of Morocco's National Olympics card has climbed to a sky-high €165 million, led by overage players Rahimi and Mounir Mohammedi, with Ashraf particularly notable for his impressive performances at Paris Saint-Germain. And in La Liga, the forward duo of Abdel and Ahomak, as well as Hanus, who plays for Henk, have caught the eye of Bundesliga powerhouse Leipzig with their youthfulness at 20 years of age and valuation of 30 million euros.
Impressively, it was no coincidence that the Moroccan national Olympics unexpectedly defeated Argentina in the group stage and beat the group leaders with a tiebreaker.
Looking back at 2022, the U.S. Men's Soccer Team locked up a spot in the 2024 Paris Olympics by winning the North American Central American U20 Championship. However, the U.S. National Olympic Team has not set foot on an Olympic field since 2008, and their best finish at the 2000 Olympics was only fourth place.
Today, the U.S. National Olympic Team has a market value of €81.7 million, with players scattered across Europe's top five leagues and the USWNT, showcasing a diverse competitive platform.
At the end of November last year, Morocco U23 played a friendly match against the United States U23, in which Morocco narrowly came second.
In terms of overall strength and recent form, the Moroccan national Olympics have the advantage and are expected to easily beat the U.S. national Olympics in regular time to advance to the semifinals.
