Morocco will take on Senegal in the final of the 2025 Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON), marking the North African side’s first appearance in the championship match in 50 years.
The Atlas Lions last reached the AFCON final in 1976, when they won their only continental title. Their appearance in the 2025 final represents their third overall AFCON final, giving them a chance to add a second trophy to their history.
Morocco comes into the final having recently achieved success in other competitions, including the African Nations Championship (CHAN), the FIFA Arab Cup, and the FIFA U-20 World Cup. These recent titles reflect the team’s continued growth and strong performance across age groups.
Senegal, meanwhile, boasts a squad of experienced internationals and remains one of Africa’s top-ranked teams. The matchup is expected to be highly competitive, with both sides seeking to claim the prestigious AFCON trophy.
The final promises a high-stakes encounter as Morocco aims to end a five-decade-long gap, while Senegal looks to assert its dominance on the continental stage.
