Atlas Lions Face DR Congo in CHAN 2025 Showdown: Quarter-Final Spot at Stake

After their victory against Zambia (3-1), the Atlas Lions will cross swords with DR Congo this Sunday. The stakes are high: these two local selections, double title holders, are playing for their qualification to the quarter-finals. A match with the feel of a final. Each team has six points and an identical goal difference (+3). Each of them will seek to win the victory. The task will therefore be arduous. Tarik Sektioui, coach of the Moroccan team, measures the scope. "We can consider this match as a final. It is very important for us and for DR Congo. We are fully aware of the stakes, determined and motivated to win," he said at the pre-match press conference in Nairobi on Saturday.

The confrontation between Morocco and DR Congo takes place this Sunday, August 17, 2025, at 1 pm GMT (2 pm in France and Belgium), on the pitch of the Nyayo National Stadium in Nairobi. This match can be followed live on Arryadia TNT, beIN Sports 1 FR and beIN Sports 6.
