Morocco Favored to Win AFCON 2023, Says Prominent Commentator Hafid Derradji

Morocco, winner of AFCON 2023? In the latest episode of his weekly show "With the Eyes of Hafid Derradji" on the "winwin" platform, the Algerian journalist believes that the Moroccan team is the top contender for the African Nations Cup title among Arab and African teams, and is favored both in the east and west, by Moroccans and non-Moroccans. The universal prediction of the Atlas Lions to win the continental title is natural due to their historic performance at the 2022 Qatar World Cup, the Algerian sports commentator for beIN Sports will add. Morocco became the first Arab and African country to reach the semifinals of a World Cup for the first time, after beating football giants like Spain and Portugal. To support his argument, Hafid Derradji highlighted the quality of the Moroccan players and the technical stability within the team.

After successfully opening their campaign by comfortably defeating Tanzania (0-3) on Wednesday, the Atlas Lions will play their second match of the Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON Côte d’Ivoire 2024) against the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC) on Sunday at 3pm at the San Pedro stadium and will then face Zambia (winner of the 2012 edition), on Wednesday, January 24. Morocco is in Group F.
