Morocco Offers Players $50,000 Bonus for Arab Cup Win Against Algeria

500,000 DH. This is the bonus that the Royal Moroccan Football Federation (FRMF) promises the players in the event of a victory against Algeria in the quarter-finals of the 2021 Arab Cup of Nations, reports Al Ahdath al Maghribia. Each player is therefore assured of receiving this bonus, which represents what each player on the local selection team had received during the victory in the final of the last CHAN won by Morocco.

The coach of the Atlas Lions, Houcine Ammouta, is ready to take up the challenge. "These derbies are usually very hard-fought as we all know. We are here to learn and we will prepare well. If we manage to control the small details, we will reach the semi-finals," he said. Morocco has so far put in good performances: 9 goals in three games, 0 goals conceded.

The Moroccan technician is however playing the card of vigilance against Algeria. "We will have to be at 1000% physically, technically and mentally. We’ll see later if the opponent makes it easier for us or if we do it ourselves," he said.
