13 April 2019 – byAmine · 1 min read

It won’t be a walk in the park for the Moroccan football team, which will have to face Côte d’Ivoire, Namibia and South Africa following the draw for the 2019 CAN which took place in Cairo.

If we rely on the FIFA ranking of this April, the Atlas Lions should have all their chances of passing the first round, with Morocco ranked 45th, Côte d’Ivoire 65th, South Africa 73rd and finally Namibia 113th in the world.

Morocco nevertheless avoids major teams, such as Egypt, who are playing in front of their home crowd, Senegal and Tunisia who, for Hervé Renard, are favorites to win the most prestigious African competition in its edition this year.

Here are the groups:

Group A
Egypt
Zimbabwe
Uganda
DR Congo

Group B
Burundi
Madagascar
Guinea
Nigeria

Group C
Tanzania
Kenya
Algeria
Senegal

Group D
Namibia
South Africa
Côte d’Ivoire
Morocco

Group E

Mauritania

Tunisia

Group F
