Although Morocco rank higher than South Africa in the FIFA rankings, Bafana captain Ronwen Williams has warned that their upcoming clash will not be 'a walk in the park' for the North Africans.
Bafana are set to face Morocco on Saturday in an Africa Cup of Nations qualifier to be played at FNB Stadium on Saturday.

The World Cup semi-finalists are ranked 11th in the FIFA World rankings while South Africa are ranked a lowly 66th.
However, Williams insists it won't be an easy clash for the North Africans.
"We played [against Morocco a year ago, we saw their quality so we know it will be a very tough game," Williams said.
"We know who they are and seeing that they've improved is scary because in six months we played them, next thing they are in the semi-finals of the World Cup, it's amazing but it [also] gives one hope that it is possible.
"If there's one thing we can take as South Africans is that it is possible. We just need to believe.
"We just need to get our players into Europe. We need to get them playing high-quality games and we need more teams playing in the African Champions League and Confederations Cup and taking it seriously.
"Because you are playing against high-quality opponents. That's how you test yourself against the best.
"We are no different. We are looking forward to the game. We know how good they are but it's not going to be a walk in the park [for Morocco] we want to go there and challenge and show our worth as well want."
Kick off at 17:00.
