The African Cup of Nations begins on January 13 in Ivory Coast and Morocco will want to make up for it, eliminated in the quarter-finals of the last edition, by Egypt (1-2, after extra time). Coach Walid Regragui has just announced a list of 27 players for this long-awaited competition.

Among them are five Ligue 1 players: the Rémois Yunis Abdelhamid (11 caps) and Amir Richardson (3 caps), the Parisian Achraf Hakimi (64 caps, 8 goals) and the Marseillais Amine Harit (16 caps) and Azzedine Ounahi ( 18 caps, 2 goals). On the other hand, although he was summoned for the first time last November, Sofiane Diop is absent from the list. Injured against Toulouse (1-0, November 26), the Niçois suffers from a fracture of the third right metatarsal.

Note the presence of former players from the French Championship called up: Nayef Aguerd (ex-Rennes), Romain Saïss (ex-Clermont, Le Havre, Angers), Sofiane Boufal (ex-Angers, Lille) and Amine Adli (ex- Toulouse). The latter, who represented the French team in the youth categories, opted for the Atlas Lions since September, making four appearances (one goal).
