"Every time I put [on] the Moroccan jersey, it's like an amazing feeling,"
"It's difficult to explain. It's something you feel inside in your heart,"
"I'm really looking forward to this Afcon, especially because it's at home. And of course, we hope it's going to be ours."
"Morocco's primary and most immediate goal is to win Afcon,"
Morocco hosts the 2025 Africa Cup of Nations with the explicit goal of winning the tournament on home soil. The nation last won Afcon in 1976 and considers the continental title the missing piece of a broader football project. Recent results have included a World Cup semi-final run in 2022, under-23 Olympic bronze in Paris 2024, an under-20 world championship in October, three African Nations Championship wins (2018, 2020, 2024), and a Fifa Arab Cup victory over Jordan. Key players express pride in representing Morocco and strong ambition to secure the Afcon crown at home.
