Morocco-Cameroon: "Like a final", the Atlas Lions ready for battle
Confidence reigns among the Moroccans. A few hours before the quarter-final clash of the 2025 AFCON against Cameroon, the players of the national team are displaying their determination. From the Mohammed VI Center in Maâmora, they promise to "give everything" to prolong the adventure.
It is a united group, aware of the stakes, that spoke on Thursday on the eve of the match scheduled for Friday at 8:00 pm at the Moulay Abdellah complex in Rabat. For Ismaïl Saibari’s teammates, the objective goes beyond simple qualification: it is to please the Moroccan public and write history.
"At this stage of the competition, all the teams are showing a good level," warned Ismaïl Saibari. The midfielder believes that the difference will be made at the level of mental strength. He insists on the role of the public, described as an "essential component of our identity", whose support will be decisive against a Cameroonian team considered "solid".
The same sentiment is expressed by El Mehdi Al Harrar, who describes a positive atmosphere marked by seriousness. "We approach each match separately," he assures, refusing to look beyond this quarter-final.
For Neil El Aynaoui, the approach is unequivocal: this match is prepared "as if it were a final". The player highlights the work of the coach who has managed, according to him, to build "a real group, and not just a team". It is this cohesion, he hopes, that will be the determining factor in overcoming the Indomitable Lions.
