“First of all, I want to say that we are ready. We feel good and we are working very hard every single day. I want to reassure the fans that we are fully prepared, motivated, and committed to giving our best in this tournament and achieving positive results,” he said.

Morocco’s preparations continue under strict discipline, with expectations high as the host nation aims for a strong start and a deep run in AFCON 2025.
