Today, Morocco and the United Arab Emirates are set to clash in the semi-finals of the Arab Cup, currently being held in Qatar.
The crunch match will take place at the Khalifa International Stadium, with both teams chasing a first-ever appearance in the Arab Cup final, having been eliminated in the quarter-final stage four years ago.
The Atlas Lions, led by Tariq Sektioui, booked their spot in the semis with a narrow but comfortable 1-0 win over Syria in the quarter-finals of the current edition.
The North Africans will be confident heading into the clash, given they are one of only two unbeaten teams remaining in the tournament.
The UAE, meanwhile, have taken their time, slowly growing into the tournament and now has an opportunity to make a deep run.
After opening their campaign with a defeat to Jordan, the UAE have shown steady improvement, with their highlight being the quarter-final win over Algeria.
History, though, doesn’t favour the UAE in this clash, having won just once in five meetings with the Atlas Lions. They have lost twice and drawn just as many times.
