Coach of the Moroccan national football team for under 23 years, Issam Al-Shari’i  expressed his satisfaction with the team’s clean goal victory over Congo in yesterday’s match held at the Moulay Abdallah stadium in Rabat.

This crucial win came in the final rounds of the group stage of the African Cup, which serves as a qualifier for the Paris Olympics 2024. Al-Shari’i emphasized the importance of this victory for the team’s confidence and their upcoming competitions.

During the post-match press conference, Al-Shari’i highlighted the significance of finishing the group stage with a perfect score, having won all three matches.

He praised the team’s performance and the ease with which the new players seamlessly integrated into the match as well as commended their readiness to compete.

The coach emphasized the difficulty of achieving victories against Guinea, Ghana, and Congo, noting that his main focus was on maintaining a strong defense and winning mentality.

Despite already securing a spot in the semi-finals for the U-23 African Cup of Nations, Al-Shari’i made it clear that their objective was to start the match against Congo with a determined mindset, ultimately resulting in a well-deserved victory.
