The nationwide coach, Walid Regragui, unveiled this Thursday the checklist of 27 gamers chosen for the African Cup of Nations (CAN) 2023, which can happen from January 13 to February 11, 2024, in Côte d’Ivoire.
This checklist is marked by the convocation of the vast majority of gamers who performed the final world championship in Qatar in 2022, in opposition to the presence of younger gamers who will defend the colours of the Atlas Lions in Côte d’Ivoire, corresponding to Chadi Riyad (Actual Betis/Spain), Amir Richardson (Stade de Reims/France) or Oussama El Azzouzi (Bologne FC/Italy).
The match will happen within the Ivorian cities of Abidjan, Bouaké, Korhogo, San Pedro and Yamoussoukro.
The Atlas Lions will evolve in Group F throughout this CAN, alongside Tanzania, DR Congo and Zambia. They are going to begin the competitors on January 17 in opposition to Tanzania, earlier than crossing iron with DR Congo (January 21), then Zambia (January 24).
