“AFCON is important to me, playing for your country is important," Benrahma told whufc.com. “I'm looking forward to my first international competition and I hope I'll play.

“First, we are a family, we have a good team, and we all get along, so [winning] the AFCON gave us this strength and I hope it will stay like this, as we have a bright future ahead of us.

“We have to keep going. We won one [AFCON], so why not a second one now? But then, we have to give our all, we have the right team, but we respect all the opponents. We know what we can do, so I hope it goes well.

“We want to win, we're not going there to make up the numbers… we want to win! We want a third star, but then, you have to respect all teams.

“It's a competition so anything can happen, but we have to keep our momentum, continue what we started and finish well. We'll be ready, that's for sure."
