Morocco Faces Cameroon in High-Stakes CHAN 2021 Semifinal Showdown

Facing the Indomitable Lions of Cameroon on February 3, the Atlas Lions are advancing as the big favorites on the Limbe pitch. With an almost flawless run during the group stages, the Moroccans hope to get closer to the podium, and why not, lift the trophy.

If Morocco manages to beat Cameroon, nothing will be able to stop them from reaching the top of the podium. In any case, Houcine Ammouta’s protégés are already measuring the challenge that lies ahead of them. The Moroccan selection of local players will face Cameroon, which has the advantage of playing in front of its supporters. An additional pressure on the shoulders of the Moroccans, reports the daily Al Massae.

The Atlas Lions have multiplied the training sessions to give themselves a chance of a good performance. To avoid doubt or surprise, the Royal Moroccan Football Federation (FRMF) has made Covid-19 testing kits available to the players. Especially since several players in the selection had already contracted the virus.

In addition to the training sessions, the Moroccans have watched matches of the Cameroonian selection to better understand the potential and avoid the slackening that sometimes characterizes the Atlas Lions at the end of the match.

The only absentee from this semi-final is Adam Ennafati, injured in the thigh. As for Abdelilah Hafidi, he has fully recovered from his injury, as he has participated in the training sessions with his teammates, the daily specifies.
