After 22 Years of Waiting… Morocco Returns to Africa Cup of Nations Final
The Moroccan national team secured their spot in the Africa Cup of Nations final today, Wednesday, returning to the continental competition's showpiece event for the first time since the 2004 edition. This achievement underscores the upward trajectory of the "Atlas Lions" in recent years.
The national team's qualification came after a strong semi-final match against Nigeria, during which the players displayed high competitive character and great fighting spirit, enabling them to overcome this stage and move one step closer to clinching the continental title.
This qualification brings back memories of Morocco's presence in the 2004 final, when they reached the decisive match over two decades ago alongside coach Badou Zaki. It now offers the current generation an opportunity to write a new chapter in the history of national football, especially with the Kingdom hosting the tournament.
The Moroccan national team will compete in the final with great ambition to end the long wait and lift the African Cup in front of their fans, marking a pivotal moment in Moroccan football history.
