Morocco head coach, Walid Regragui, is banking on home support to help his team achieve victory against the Super Eagles of Nigeria.
The Prince Moulay Abdallah Stadium is expected to filled to capacity when the Atlas Lions take on Éric Chelle’s side in the semi- final encounter on Wednesday.
The Atlas Lions have rode on the intimidating atmosphere at the ground to excel at the ongoing 2025 Africa Cup of Nations.
The North Africans have won four and drawn one of their five games in the competition.
Regragui is confident the massive home support will inspire his team to victory.
“When you play in Morocco you are facing only Moroccan fans not Dortmund or Madrid fans. This stadium is always different for opponents and you will always feel it when you are on the pitch,” Regragui told a press conference.
“I hope tomorrow the Moroccan fans will do their best to show the opponent that it’s very different to win in Morocco.”
