As such, Morocco are not in the peak of their powers heading into the prestigious continental showpiece event in Egypt this weekend. Morocco have opted against including the likes of Amine Harit of Schalke, Ayoub El Kaabi of Hebei China Fortune and Abdelkarim Baadi of Hassaina Agadir in their final squad for the Africa Cup of Nations. And it remains to be seen whether the Atlas Lions can draw enough inspiration from their promising display at the FIFA World Cup in Russia last summer to clinch only the second Africa Cup of Nations title in their history. Ziyech was the Atlas Lions' leading goal-scorer during the qualifiers for the 2019 edition of the Africa Cup of Nations and has maintained his impressive form in national team colours even during the recent friendly defeats to Gambia and Zambia.
