Ziani: "Fatigue affected our performance in the later stages."

Khalil Ziani, coach of the national under-15 team, revealed the reasons behind his players' decline in performance during the later stages of the FIFA World Cup 2026.

Ziani stated in this context to public television: “It was good that we faced Argentina in the first match, which allowed us to enter the competition with high focus.”

He added: “We achieved significant victories in the early matches, and the positive thing is that we did not concede any goals, which indicates the strength and resilience of the team.”

Ziani continued: “As the matches progressed, I felt that we started to suffer from fatigue, as we were playing two matches a day, and at this stage, some teams began to outpace us physically.”
