Two matches remain in the 2025 Africa Cup of Nations: the third-place match and the most anticipated final, scheduled to be held in Rabat at the Prince Moulay Abdellah Stadium.
Hopes were high for an all-Arab final for the first time since Tunisia in 2004, but Egypt failed to overcome Senegal, losing to a Sadio Mane goal, while Morocco defeated Nigeria on penalties.
Morocco is hoping for its first title since 1976, while the Lions of Teranga are aiming for their second title in less than five years, following their victory in the 2021 edition in Cameroon.
The 2025 Africa Cup of Nations will crown a new champion after the elimination of defending champions Ivory Coast. Senegal hopes to secure their second title, but the task will be extremely difficult against a star-studded Moroccan side playing on home soil, promising a thrilling encounter.
