The 2023 Africa Cup of Nations in Côte d’Ivoire has set the stage for intense competition, with all participating teams demonstrating their potential for success.
Morocco head coach Wali Regragui emphasized the significance of the match calendar, highlighting the advantage of playing their initial matches later in the tournament.
Addressing the press before the Tanzania clash, Regragui acknowledged the competitiveness, cautioning against underestimating any opponent.
He stressed the importance of staying vigilant, citing the results of other teams as a motivational tool for both players and the public.
“Even the match calendar gives you chances, especially since we will play our first matches late,” Regragui said.
He continued: “We saw the results of the rest of the teams, which will help us alert the players and the public so that some people do not think that it will be easy.”
As the Morocco national team prepares to kick off their campaign against Tanzania at the Stade Laurent Pokou in San Pedro on Wednesday, the coach’s words reflect a commitment to facing the competition with full effort and acknowledging the strength displayed by all teams in the tournament.
