El Karti on Pyramids' Previous Refusal for Arab Cup Participation: 'I Was Ready from the First Moment, It Was Only Administrative Issues'

Walid El Karti, a player for the Moroccan B national team, confirmed his readiness to participate in the Arab Cup from the very first moment, noting that his club, Pyramids FC, had previously refused his participation due to administrative reasons.

El Karti stated in press remarks: "Thank God we achieved victory in the opening match, which is considered the key to any tournament. The match against Oman will be difficult against an opponent who will also be seeking all three points. Our goal is to win to secure qualification for the next round."

He added: "I was ready from the first moment to participate in the Arab Cup, and the matters were administrative only. My focus was on being with the group, and thank God I am here now."

He continued: "Now, I am ready as I have had sufficient rest. If I start tomorrow, I will make a contribution, God willing. We players know each other well, the atmosphere is great, and we hope to make the Moroccan fans happy."
