On the eve of the chic clash between Raja Casablanca and FAR Rabat in the group stage of the CAF Champions League, Hubert Velud, coach of AS FAR, displayed serene confidence at a press conference.
Looking back on his team's preparation, Velud stressed the group's progress since their last duel against Raja in the championship: "We have learned and evolved. This match will be another story, but we have the conviction and the resources to respond."
Velud also highlighted the club's wealth of African experience, a major asset in a demanding competition like the Champions League: "The group is solid, with no major absences. ASFAR's history in this tournament pushes us to aim high, and we are physically and mentally ready to take on this challenge."
On the players' side, player Larbi Naji stressed the importance of making history through this kind of match: "Playing against a great team like Raja, in an elite competition, requires total investment. These are moments that each player cherishes and which forge lasting memories."
The match, which will be played at the Larbi Zaouli stadium in Casablanca, will be an opportunity for both Moroccan clubs to mark their debut in the group stage and demonstrate their continental ambition.
