It’s been just over a year since the election of the Morocco made history at the World Cup in Qatar, crashing out in the semifinals with their best ever record, and this year they are targeting strong favorites of Africa Cup after that presented in December 2022.
Morocco is fighting its own history. Although recently many of their players have been in the big teams in Europe, at international level the ‘Atlas lion’ have only lifted the Africa Cup once, so many years ago (1976). Therefore, in this edition held in Ivory Coast, it was the perfect setting to achieve this and Walid Regragui took the best he had at his disposal.

Achraf, the great figure
The Moroccan team is a very competitive team, especially since it has a star in every line:
Yassine Bono (32 years old): Although he no longer plays in Europe, the goalkeeper was one of the most popular players at the World Cup in Qatar. Now playing for Al-Hilal in Saudi Arabia, his experience between the sticks could be the norm.
Hakimi Achraf (25 years old): Undoubtedly, one of the best in the world in his position. A footballer for Paris Saint Germain, he is a right-back with plenty of power to cover the entire wing and be vital in both defense and attack.
Sofian Amrabat (27 years old): One of the great surprises of the last World Cup with Ounahi. The midfielder, on loan at Manchester United, did not perform at the same level in the clubs, but in Morocco he was the capital.
En-Nesyri (26 years old): With Ziyech’s permission, the Sevilla forward is the great attacking reference for his country. He is a modern striker, big but also has a lot of power. If they are close to the goal, Morocco will have a long way to go.
