ADELAIDE : Morocco's clash with favourites France in the Women's World Cup on Tuesday will be a special occasion for their players and coach Reynald Pedros as the tournament debutantes aim to continue their fairytale run by reaching the quarter-finals.
Pedros, 51, is a former France international and said he was looking forward to taking on the country of his birth when the two teams face off in the last 16 in Adelaide. "A few of us are bi-national and some of us play in France, so we know the players well," said defender Nesryne El Chad, one of six players in the Morocco squad plying their trade in France."This match will be special for us."
Pedros said after the Colombia game that he had the advantage of knowing the France team"perfectly". Beating France, ranked fifth in the world, would be a remarkable achievement for 72nd-ranked Morocco.
