CAF: Diaz Ignites Morocco's AFCON 2025 Campaign, Showcasing Strength

The Confederation of African Football (CAF) website has highlighted Moroccan national team player Brahim Diaz following his strong and distinctive start in the Africa Cup of Nations qualifiers. Diaz opened the scoring in the Atlas Lions' 2-0 victory over Comoros in their opening match.

According to the CAF website, observers and European clubs alike have praised Diaz's performance. He was the main driving force behind the Moroccan attack, actively moving between lines and maintaining a strong presence throughout the match. His play helped free up his teammates, eased initial tensions, and ignited a wave of excitement in the stands of the Rabat stadium.

The Real Madrid player was awarded the Man of the Match accolade, reaffirming his deep connection to the Moroccan national team jersey. He stated, "I feel at home. I feel very comfortable, and I know people love me. I always want to give my maximum for Morocco, because without them I wouldn't be here. I am very happy to represent my country."

CAF further noted that Diaz's capabilities were evident in his constant movement and continuous demand for the ball, which unsettled the Comoros defense. His composure on the field mirrored the Moroccan national team's ambition, as they displayed confidence in their strength from the opening minutes.

This victory has placed the Moroccan national team in an ideal position within a strong Group A. The Atlas Lions are now preparing for a challenging encounter against Mali, scheduled for today, Friday, at Prince Moulay Abdellah Stadium in Rabat, kicking off at 9 PM (GMT+1).
