Since Thursday, the list of Gabonese players called up to face Morocco in a friendly match on March 5 in Casablanca has been unveiled. Among the familiar names, there is one notable addition: Frédéric Bulot, who received his first call-up after expressing his desire to represent Gabon. However, there is a notable absence as well, with Daniel Cousin opting to retire following the last CHAN tournament in South Africa.
