Former Cameroon national team coach Rigobert Song has declared his country's team to be "the real lion" in the jungle. His comments come ahead of their quarter-final encounter against the Moroccan national team tomorrow in the Africa Cup of Nations "Morocco 2025".

Speaking to France 24 about the match against the "Atlas Lions," Song stated: "The real lion is the unconquerable lion. There is no other lion. Other lions are unknown in the jungle."

He continued: "Playing against the host nation is difficult, but we love the challenge. I believe the Indomitable Lions are aware of what lies ahead."

Song concluded his remarks by stating: "Initially, we were not among the top five favorites to win the title, but today we are among the top three teams. A lion in the jungle, even if it is resting, still inspires terror. Beware of the unconquerable lions."

The match between Morocco and Cameroon is scheduled for tomorrow, Friday, at 20:00 GMT+1, at the Prince Moulay Abdellah Stadium in Rabat.
