The promising Moroccan striker Yassir Zubairi, player for the Portuguese club Famalicão, has confirmed his full readiness to represent the national senior team in the upcoming Africa Cup of Nations.

In an interview with the Spanish newspaper "AS," Zubairi emphasized that the official call-up is not within his authority; rather, it is purely a technical decision that belongs exclusively to coach Walid Regragui. He also affirmed his full respect for the authority of the national team's technical staff.

Zubairi revealed that the national coach had sent a clear message to the young players following their impressive performance in the Under-20 World Cup, urging them to return to their clubs and fight for starting positions to ensure the continuity of their development. He also emphasized that the door to the senior national team will remain open to anyone who proves their worth.

In his professional career with Famalicão, Zubairi affirmed his commitment to following the national coach's instructions, highlighting his recent participation as a starter against the prestigious Porto team in the Portuguese league.

The player expressed his hope to continue delivering outstanding performances, focusing on scoring goals and consistently showcasing his technical and physical abilities to attract the attention of the senior national team coaching staff.

It is worth mentioning that Yassir Zubairi was one of the standout stars of the Moroccan under-20 national team that recently won the FIFA U-20 World Cup. He earned the tournament's top scorer award and delivered a performance that caught the attention of observers.

The 19-year-old player aims to turn this success into an opportunity to join Regragui's squad and contribute to the "Atlas Lions" campaign in the upcoming competitions, starting with the Africa Cup of Nations and then the World Cup.
