‘Definitely one of the most noted groups’ – Morocco’s Medhi Benatia reacts to 2019 Afcon draw

Medhi Benatia stated that Morocco’s group at the 2019 Africa Cup of Nations is one of the toughest but assured that the Atlas Lions will fly the country’s flag high in Egypt.

On Friday, the north Africans were drawn in Group D alongside South Africa, Cote d’Ivoire and Namibia at the ceremony held outside of Cairo on Friday.

Before playing against highly ranked Bafana Bafana and the Elephants, Herve Renard’s men will begin the hunt for their first Afcon title since 1976 against Namibia on June 23 at the Al Salam Stadium.
