Coach Michel made the surprise decision to recall Fouhami

Veteran Morocco goalkeeper Khalid Fouhami wants to play for his country at the 2010 World Cup in South Africa.

The 35-year-old was surprisingly recalled by coach Henri Michel for the current Africa Cup of Nations after two years out of the squad.

"I think I am ready to go on playing for my country for a long time," Fouhami told BBC Sport in Accra. "My main target is the 2010 World Cup.

"I am not worried about my age because keepers can play into their forties."

Fouhami, who plays for Raja Casablanca, has started both of Morocco's game at the Nations Cup.

His recall to the national team was criticised by a section of the Moroccan media who said he was too old for the team.

But the veteran insists: "I am in a very good shape to help my country qualify for the World Cup and do well at the tournament."

It was Fouhami's goalkeeping error which saw Morocco beaten 2-1 by hosts Tunisia in the 2004 Nations Cup final.
