The semi-finalists of the Olympic football tournament have been known since Friday. Moroccan players Bilal El Kanous and Zakaria El Vahedi from Genk are also present. Spain, Egypt and France have also reached the semi-finals.
Morocco impressed in their quarter-final against the United States at the Parc des Princes. The Atlas Lions won 4-0. El Kanousse played in the midfield and provided an assist for Morocco’s third goal. Both he and El Wahdi spent the ninety minutes between the lines. El Kanousse also received an unnecessary yellow card before the start of the game, which means he will be suspended for the semi-final.
