FIFA World Cup: We Want To Take A Medal Home: Morocco's Regragui Ahead Of Third-place Playoff

By IANS News December 17, 2022 • 13:16 PM View: 463

The 47-year-old tactician admitted that the FIFA World Cup third-place play-off is the "worst game" to play in for but wants his side to become the first African nation to medal in the Finals, having already become the first African nation to reach a World Cup semi-final.

"I don't really need to motivate my team, we are at the World Cup representing Morocco. We even want to win friendlies so the objective is to get that third place, we want to improve our FIFA ranking. If we finish third in a World Cup, we will really hike it up," Regragui said at the pre-match press conference.
