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 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.
Admitted fault is half forgiven? The Tunisian television channel "El Hiwar Ettounsi" officially apologized to the Moroccan public on Wednesday evening.

On the eve of the clash against Mali, Walid Regragui has made his intentions clear: the objective is to secure qualification for the next round as early as this Friday. In a press conference in Rabat, the national coach gave an update on the state of his troops, dispelling rumors about injuries and renewing his trust in his young players.
The football world mourns the passing of Essam Ziyech . Died on Tuesday at the age of 51 after a long illness, the elder brother of Hakim Ziyech leaves behind the memory of a raw talent, considered by many as the most gifted of the siblings, but who had chosen a path other than professionalism.
After an ideal start against the Comoros, the Atlas Lions have their sights set on the top of Group A. This Friday in Rabat, Morocco will face Mali in a decisive match. While the intensity has increased during training with a present Achraf Hakimi , uncertainty remains around the health status of captain Romain Saïss.
A decisive goalscorer for his debut in the Africa Cup of Nations, Brahim Díaz is emerging as the technical leader of the Atlas Lions. Happy and fulfilled in the national jersey, the Real Madrid player has made a true declaration of love to the Moroccan public after the victory against the Comoros, contrasting with his delicate situation at the club.
