Ramzi: The match between Morocco and the Netherlands is balanced.

Former Moroccan international player Adel Ramzi, coach of the Dutch national team under 19, commented on the upcoming match that will bring the Moroccan team face to face with the Dutch team in the Round of 32 of the 2026 World Cup, considering it one of the strongest matches of this round.

Ramzi said in a statement to "Hesport": "Honestly, I did not wish for this clash in this early round, because both teams have all the qualities to go far in the tournament, and they could have met in advanced stages." He added: "I see it as a very balanced match, both individually and collectively, as each team has the quality and keys to achieve victory."

The speaker concluded: "I expect it to be a strong match, and I believe that the team that manages to win it will be able to continue their journey towards the later stages."

This match comes after the Moroccan team finished the group stage in second place in Group C, while the Dutch team topped Group F, setting up an anticipated meeting in one of the most prominent matches of the Round of 32, amid significant public anticipation given the level both sides displayed in the first round.

It is worth noting that the Moroccan team will face their Dutch counterparts next Tuesday starting at 2 AM Moroccan time, in a match where the "Atlas Lions" aim to continue their adventure in the "World Cup" and secure a ticket to the next round.
