Morocco’s Rahimi responds to Eto’o's compliment: It’s an honour for me

Soufiane Rahimi has expressed his gratitude to African football legend Samuel Eto’o for recognising his exploits at the 2021 African Nations Championship.

The forward played a key role in helping the Atlas Lions successfully defend the title won on home soil in Cameroon – scoring five goals in five matches – which earned him the topscorer’s prize as well as the tournament’s Most Valuable Player accolade.

Eto’o had taken to social media to congratulate the North African country as well as the Raja Casablanca star for their exploits at the sixth edition of the biennial African football showpiece.
