Morocco's goalkeeper added that only a short time has passed since the players participated in the World Cup, which has allowed the group to maintain its cohesion. He pointed out that the players feel a great happiness to return once again to defend the colors of the national team.

Regarding the anticipated match against Gabon, Bounou stressed that the encounter will not be easy, confirming that the Gabonese national team is one of the opponents that the Moroccan national team has traditionally found difficult to face, whether during the Africa Cup of Nations Qualification or in the finals of the Africa Cup of Nations.
