Morocco Coach Confident Despite Tough U-20 AFCON Group
Morocco’s head coach, Mohamed Ouahbi, has shared his thoughts on the 2025 Africa U-20 Cup of Nations draw, acknowledging the tough competition ahead.
Morocco finds itself in Group B alongside regional rivals Egypt, Nigeria, and South Africa. Nigeria remains the most successful team in the tournament’s history with seven titles, while Egypt has lifted the trophy four times.
Ouahbi admitted the group won’t be easy but made it clear that Morocco’s goal is to win the tournament.
“It’s a tough group with strong teams. Nigeria has a rich history in this competition, Egypt is a familiar opponent, and South Africa is making big strides at the youth level,” he said.
He added that Morocco has been preparing this generation of players for two years with the ambition of winning the title.
Morocco coach Mohamed Ouahbi speaks on the Netherlands’ elimination from the World Cup.
The coach explained why the team was eliminated. “Morocco has gained everybody’s respect now,” Ouahbi said, adding: “It’s not because of what we’ve said. We’ve now shown it.
“We completely dominated a Netherlands team. We had 70% possession, more shots and more expected goals. We controlled the match. We wanted to stay calm, play our game and believe that if it went to penalties, we had an exceptional goalkeeper. We didn’t turn the match into a chaotic battle. We controlled it.”
Nigerian footballer and former captain William Troost-Ekong revealed the standout player for him in the South African team during this World Cup.
He shared that Mbekezile Mbokazi really stood out in the World Cup match against Canada.
Despite their loss, he praised the team’s performance. “It speaks volumes that Mbokazi [Mbekezile] was the best player on the South African team. I believe Okon also had considerable possession of the ball.”
Poland footballer Robert Lewandowski’s new club has officially been revealed.
It can be noted that the player was involved in the ongoing summer transfer window, with negotiations taking place over his future.
The footballer will be joining Chicago Fire. It can be recalled that he visited the club two weeks ago, and the move has now been confirmed. The information was shared by football transfer expert Fabrizio Romano.
