Khaberni - The Moroccan team is looking forward to making history when it faces its Senegalese counterpart in the final of the Africa Cup of Nations 2025.
The Atlas Lions defeated Nigeria's Eagles on Wednesday, 4-2 on penalties in the semi-finals, after the match ended in a goalless draw in both regulation and extra time.
Prince Moulay Abdellah stadium in Rabat will host this encounter next Sunday, starting at 10 pm Mecca time.
The Moroccan team has reached the final once in the Africa Cup of Nations, in the 2004 edition held in Tunisia.
The "Atlas Lions" lost at that time against "Carthage Eagles" with a score of 2-1, in a match that saw a crucial mistake by goalkeeper Khalid Fouhami that allowed Ziad Jaziri to score the winning goal.
It is noteworthy that the Moroccan team did not play a final match in the 1976 edition, which it won, as the tournament was held in a group system.
The "Lions" topped the final group with 5 points, winning against Nigeria and Egypt (2-1), and drawing with Guinea (1-1).
What will Morocco do against Senegal?
The Moroccan team has faced its Senegalese counterpart on 31 occasions across various competitions, according to the statistics website "11v11".
The "Atlas Lions" have secured 18 victories against the Teranga Lions, with 6 draws and 6 losses.
The most recent encounter between them took place last August at the Africa Cup of Nations for locals and ended with a positive draw (1-1).
