Hadji warns the Moroccan national team about the African Cup of nations 2025!
As scheduled, and as the draw was held yesterday, it is expected that the 24 African national teams will compete in the upcoming 2025 African Nations Championship in Morocco, and this edition will be the 35th edition of the tournament.
Hadji is one of the best Moroccan players of all time and won the title of the best player in Africa and the award presented by the CAF African Football Federation for the year 1998.
“The challenge is immense, gigantic. We must not leave thinking that we are 100% winners, we have to respect all the opponents. African football today is full of great talents and great teams. There are no more small nations. No one can say that a match will be easy or won in advance, no matter who the opponent is" Hadji said.
The star who represented the Moroccan national football team and who represented Sporting Lisbon and Aston Villa of England gave an example of the Ivorian national team, whose country hosted the tournament in the last edition, and said: "We remember the example of Côte d'ivoire (Ivory Coast), where Morocco gave them a decisive hand. But the context is different. Today, we have to prepare seriously, so the former player stressed the need to play the championship seriously and have great respect for the rest of the teams for the Atlas Lions.
