Switzerland and Morocco have finally reached an agreement over their international friendly on Wednesday.
The Swiss threatened to pull out of the game after Morocco suggested that they play a local club side instead.
African Cup of Nations finalists Morocco had proposed that Switzerland should play African Confederation Cup holders Raja Casablanca instead of their national side, after arguing their players were tired after playing in the African Nations Cup.
Morocco have now decided to go ahead with the game after Switzerland's threat to go home.
"We came here to play against a national Moroccan squad and we will not play against a club," said Swiss Football Federation spokesman Pierre Benoit.
"If Morocco hadn't accepted our conditions, we would have packed our bags and left for Switzerland but, as all of our major conditions were met, the match will go ahead as planned."
Despite agreeing to the game Morocco insist none of their foreign-based players will play in the match.
