The draw against Mali (1-1) has postponed the official qualification of the Atlas Lions for the round of 16. While the ticket for the next round is "very likely" secured, the main issue of Monday’s match against Zambia remains the first place in the group, which is strategic for the rest of the competition.
No more laxity in the face of piracy of matches and films ? As the Kingdom vibrates to the rhythm of the 2025 CAN and prepares for the 2030 World Cup, the authorities in Rabat have adopted a national roadmap to clean up the sector. The objective is to secure broadcasting rights in the face of a threat that has become industrial.
Mixed evening in Rabat. Held in check by Mali (1-1) this Friday, the Atlas Lions will have to wait to validate their ticket for the round of 16. If the penalty converted by Brahim Diaz was not enough to seal the victory, Walid Regragui prefers to be positive, seeing in this "trap match" a necessary lesson for the future.
Watch out for the bill! While the fervor of AFCON 2025 is in full swing, many Moroccan supporters, especially in Casablanca, are disappointed when it comes to paying the bill in cafes . The Moroccan Observatory for Consumer Protection is sounding the alarm over practices deemed abusive.
No premature celebration in Rabat. While the public of the Moulay Abdellah complex was hoping to validate the ticket for the round of 16 tonight, the national team stumbled against a solid Malian team (1-1). Everything will be played on the last day against Zambia.
Even on vacation, the ball is never far away. Taking advantage of the winter break to recharge under the sun of the Emirates, the jewel of FC Barcelona, Lamine Yamal, offered an unforgettable moment to young fans on a beach in Dubai.
This is the night of all hopes for Moroccan supporters. This Friday, December 26, the Atlas Lions face Mali at the Prince Moulay Abdellah Stadium in Rabat (9pm). The stakes are high: a win and Morocco goes straight to the round of 16 of its CAN, without waiting for the last match.
It’s crunch time for the Atlas Lions. Just hours before the decisive kick-off against Mali this Friday in Rabat (9pm), the final training session has revealed its last secrets. Between the return of a striker and the isolation of the captain, Walid Regragui must make a decision.
He is the enigma of the national team. Capable of flashes of brilliance as well as lulls, Azzedine Ounahi divides supporters. While his lukewarm performance against the Comoros raised questions, Walid Regragui steps up to defend his "metronome" before the clash against Mali.
It’s a jackpot for the Moroccan economy. Beyond the excitement in the stadiums, the 2025 Africa Cup of Nations is turning into a real cash machine for the Kingdom. The competition is expected to generate staggering economic benefits of around 12 billion dirhams.
It has become an annual ritual that inflames social networks. Mohamed Salah, the Egyptian star currently in Morocco for the 2025 CAN, finds himself once again at the heart of a heated controversy after sharing a photo of a Christmas celebration.
This is a radical decision to save the image of the competition. Faced with the observation of sometimes desperately empty stands during the first minutes of certain matches, the CAF and the organizing committee have opted for pragmatism: access to the stadiums becomes free about 20 minutes after kick-off for matches with low attendance.
