Sunday, 18 January 2026
Kick-off is at 21h00
Morocco will square off with Senegal in the 2025 Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON) final at the Prince Moulay Abdellah Stadium on 18 January.
Build-up to the final
Yassine Bounou's goalkeeping heroics earned the Atlas Lions a 4-2 win over Nigeria on penalties in the semi-finals on 14 January and the hosts remain undefeated in the 2025 AFCON.
Morocco are undefeated in their last 26 matches across all competitions, having registered their fourth successive win (including penalties) when they defeated the Super Eagles.
The North African giants' 26-match unbeaten run consists of 23 victories and three draws, with Mali having ended Morocco's 19-match winning streak on 26 December.
Latest news
Morocco have no players suspended for the AFCON final and Bilal El Khannouss, Soufiane Rahimi, and Ismael Saibari avoided a one-match suspension during the Nigeria game.
The Atlas Lions are also yet to report injuries from their camp, with Sofyan Amrabat having recovered from an injury he had picked up earlier in the knockout phase.
Why Morocco could win the AFCON title
The Atlas Lions, who are eyeing their maiden AFCON title since 1976, have home advantage due to their passionate crowds, and talented squad, and a long unbeaten run.
Coach Walid Regragui's side have no suspensions, in contrast to Senegal's key absences such as Habib Diarra and Kalidou Koulibaly, who will both miss the final due to suspension.
