“If we beat Morocco then we know we have a big chance to play in the final. And I don’t want to underestimate Cape Verde or Mauritania but it’s still a difference from playing those teams than against a side like we are playing on Tuesday,” said Broos.

“So we know that if we can [beat Morocco] we take a big step towards what we all wanted — playing in the final and maybe winning it.”

Atlas Lions head coach, Walid Regragui, said he is targeting a win and hopes his nation will get their hands on the AFCON trophy following their solid run in the 2022 World Cup.

“What we did at the World Cup was historic and when people recognise this talent, it means so much to me and everyone on the team. It was an unbelievable achievement at the World Cup. We put Africa on the world map,” he said.

“But now, we have a different mindset. The Africa Cup of Nations is very, very tough but we are going with the same spirit and inshallah, if we do our very best, we are going to win this trophy.”
