Morocco has made history as the first team, other than the host nation, to touch down in Cote d’Ivoire for the 2023 CAF Africa Cup of Nations.
On Sunday, the Atlas Lions arrived in Abidjan at Felix Houphouet Boigny Airport, where a warm reception greeted them enthusiastically. The team’s official handle tweeted about it.
“Our #AtlasLions arrived safely to San Pedro.”
The squad, which reached the semi-finals of the FIFA World Cup, touched down at 2:00 PM local time, receiving a vibrant cultural welcome orchestrated by the Local Organising Committee (LOC) of the AFCON at Terminal 2. The event unfolded under tight security measures, ensuring a smooth arrival for Coach Walid Regragui’s team.
