Mamelodi Sundowns, who had largely dominated recent national team call-ups—including the previous AFCON—follow closely with 10 selections.
Ouaddou noted that the Sea Robbers view it as their responsibility to supply high-calibre players for Hugo Broos and the national team.
“For the club, you have to be proud to have such number of players in the national team,” said Ouaddou.
“You have to give credit to the club, we are working for the nation. And we have the duty to have results for the club but we have to prepare [the players] for the nation because soon, they will go to AFCON.
“So, we have to offer the much-competitive players to represent the nation.
“We are the disposal of the country and the coach of the national team. We have to work like that and to give good players who can perform for the national team players. I’m very happy for them.”
