Morocco enter Matchday 2 at the 2023 Africa Cup of Nations with expectations only growing about their chances of glory. They have only won the competition once before – back in 1976 – and have also only made the final on one other occasion (2004), so they don’t have much AFCON pedigree, but their current team is arguably their greatest ever.

Following on from finishing fourth at the World Cup in Qatar, Morocco are among the tournament favourites in the Ivory Coast and will have only strengthened any belief in their chances with a hugely convincing 3-0 win over Tanzania on MD 1 in Group F.

They will come up against stronger opposition in this tournament, but having kept their opponents to only two shots and a total of just 0.03 xG, they showed just how defensively sound this team is. It was that defence upon which their remarkable World Cup run was built, and it will be key to their progress at AFCON 2023, too.

Your reason is obvious but this is football, are you still taking your phobia for their belief to AFCON?
