This is the moment of truth. This Sunday evening, in a Moulay Abdellah complex announced as sold out, the Atlas Lions launch "their" Africa Cup of Nations against Comoros.

Long plagued by the formation of rival clans between "Dutch," "French," and "Locals," the locker room of the Atlas Lions has undergone a transformation.

The time of amicable arrangements seems to be over between European clubs and African selections.

Never before had an Africa Cup reached such a high level of prestige.
