Morocco enters the Africa Cup of Nations with conviction after a 4–0 win over Uganda in Tangier.
Walid Regragui watched his team dominate every phase of the friendly and declared that Morocco must set its sights on the title after analysing the failures of the previous campaign.
The coach addressed criticism that followed three straight 1–0 victories and insisted that the group arrives at the tournament with clarity and confidence.
He noted that the team scores goals regularly and controls matches without allowing opponents many openings.
He stressed that Morocco steps into the competition with belief and a mindset shaped by lessons from the early exit at the last AFCON.
Regragui outlined his ambition with direct language. He wants Morocco to claim the trophy and create a lasting legacy.
He explained that the squad grew significantly after the disappointment of AFCON 2023.
He praised the response to the exit against South Africa and highlighted the work that reshaped the team since then.
He pointed out that Morocco strengthened its structure, blended young players into the squad, and maintained stability in key positions.
He believes those steps place the Atlas Lions in a strong position for a home tournament.
He reminded his group to stay focused, avoid complacency, and hope for a clean bill of health.
Morocco continued its flawless preparation in an electric atmosphere at the new stadium in Tangier.
The Atlas Lions controlled the match against Uganda with authority and extended their winning run to 18 consecutive victories.
The streak already stands as a world record, yet the players and their coach insist that the number carries little weight compared to the need for confidence and rhythm heading into the opening match.
Morocco now turns its full attention to Comoros, whom they face on 21 December in Rabat.
The team enters the tournament with sharp form, a clear objective, and a coach who believes the time has come to win a major title.
