The Moroccan star achieves a thrilling feat
Saudi Arabia’s Al Hilal goalkeeper Yassin Bounou of Morocco continued to write his name in golden letters in his country’s national team history after reaching his 90th cap for the Atlas Lions, cementing his position as one of the most capped players in Morocco’s history.
Bono featured in Morocco’s 1-1 draw with Norway in a friendly as part of the Atlas Lions’ preparations for the 2026 World Cup.
The Al Hilal goalkeeper is fifth in the list of players who have represented the Moroccan national team in history with 90 caps, behind the leaders Noureddine Naybet with 115 caps, Ashraf Hakim (96), Ahmed Firas (94) and Youssef En-Nessiri (92).
