Each match will be approached as a final. We hope to live up to expectations to win a title at the end of the season and offer this joy to our supporters.”The Usmist player will have thus warned all the contenders for the African title, including the Moroccans of RS Berkane.

“Our supporters deserve to experience moments of joy this season. We will do everything possible to collaborate with them and celebrate the victories together.”
