Fan and media motivation: This team enjoys strong moral support from the Moroccan fans, who hope to continue the continental and Arab brilliance, especially after the recent successes of Moroccan football. . A coach with a winning mentality: Sektioui has shown in his previous participations the ability to deal with pressure and build a harmonious team in a short period, which he may repeat again in the Arab Cup. The Moroccan national team enters the match against the Comoros with the ambition to win and get closer to the next round, at a time when the Moroccan fans are waiting to see new names shine on the Arab scene.
