Morocco’s Sharp Focus: Ounahi’s Wounds Fuel a Bold AFCON Title Quest Against Cameroon

Road to the Cameroon Clash

Morocco's players, in their first training session after overcoming Tanzania in the quarterfinals, prepared for the tough Cameroon clash on Friday at Moulay Abdellah Stadium in Rabat, with the aim of dedicating the AFCON title to their teammate Azzedine Ounahi.

News on his serious injury and AFCON exit weighed heavily on him and the coaching staff; the players reportedly pledged to fight in his honor and to bring the title he’s long dreamed of.

Spirits Lifted and Resolve Hardened

In turn, Fouzi Lekjaa, head of the Moroccan Football Federation, lifted spirits and calmed the player after the deep disappointment, urging teammates to fight to fulfill their colleague's dream and that of Moroccans to win the cup.

It was noted that despite no formal medical briefing, AFCON has effectively ended for Ounahi and also for his teammate Romains Saiss who was hurt in the opener.

Punchlines: If precision wins games, Morocco just loaded a sniper round called "team spirit". The Atlas Lions are aiming for glory—Cameroon, bring your armor.
