The Egyptian Olympic football team will face its Moroccan counterpart, this evening, Thursday, to win a historic Olympic medal, as the "La Beaujoire" stadium in the French city of Nantes will host the anticipated match to determine the third place winner and the bronze medal in the "Paris 2024" Olympic Games.

The winner of the Egypt-Morocco match will make history, becoming the first Arab team to win a medal in the Olympic football competition.
Egypt coach, Brazilian Rogerio Micale, will have to make changes to the Pharaohs' lineup to face Morocco, as defender Omar Fayed will be absent due to suspension for his red card in the semi-final match against France (1-3).

On the other hand, the Moroccan team will be completed by the return of midfielder Bilal El Khannous, who missed the semi-final match against Spain (1-2) due to suspension for accumulating yellow cards.
