The Moroccan authorities proceeded, on Monday, to the expulsion of Kamel Mahoui, Algerian journalist of the Ennahar channel. Came to cover the 2025 Africa Cup of Nations, he was checked without the official accreditation required by CAF, while he had already distinguished himself by virulent criticism on the organization of the tournament.
The enthusiasm for the Africa Cup of Nations is spreading across the northern borders of the Kingdom. Many Algerian supporters , mainly from the diaspora established in Europe, are currently crossing Sebta and Melilla to reach the Moroccan capital and support their national team.
Zohran Mamdani chose the atmosphere of "Little Morocco" to follow the kickoff of the 2025 CAN. On Sunday, the new mayor of New York was spotted in a restaurant in Queens, vibrating to the rhythm of the victory of the Atlas Lions over the Comoros (2-0).
A bittersweet victory aftermath for the Moroccan backline. While the Atlas Lions successfully made their debut against the Comoros (2-0), the health status of Nayef Aguerd is raising questions. The central defender underwent examinations on Monday to assess the severity of his injury.
A successful start for the host country. Under heavy rain in Rabat, Morocco defeated the Comoros (2-0) in their first match of the 2025 AFCON. A victory that was slow to materialize but logical, which satisfies the coach Walid Regragui .
Mission accomplished for the Atlas Lions. The national team won (2-0) against the Comoros this Sunday evening in Rabat, in the opening match of the 2025 Africa Cup of Nations. Thanks to goals from Brahim Díaz and Ayoub El Kaabi, Morocco temporarily takes the lead in Group A.
Hakim Ziyech has spoken a few hours before the kick-off of the Africa Cup of Nations in Morocco. The Moroccan international has broadcast a message calling on the public to massively support the national team during the tournament.
The Moroccan national football team is facing Comoros, in the opening match of the Africa Cup of Nations (CAN 2025). Walid Regragui’s men are highly anticipated for this official launch of the continental competition where they are considered the big favorites.
It is a veritable exodus that is striking the major European championships. As the AFCON opens this Sunday in Morocco , no less than 135 players playing in the five major leagues (Big 5) have left their clubs in the middle of the season to join their national teams. A situation that is turning into a headache for the coaches, forced to compose without their key players until January 18.
The Confederation of African Football (CAF) is continuing its policy of financial revaluation . On the eve of the kick-off in Morocco, Patrice Motsepe announced that the team that wins the trophy will pocket $10 million. An unprecedented sum for the continental tournament.
This is a false note that the organization would have done without on the eve of the great continental ball. While Rabat is vibrating with the final preparations for the 2025 CAN, an incident that occurred at the Marriott hotel has thrown a diplomatic chill. The Algerian delegation, which has taken up residence there, is at the heart of a controversy after having hidden the portrait of King Mohammed VI in one of its meeting rooms.
This is the moment of truth. This Sunday evening, in a Moulay Abdellah complex announced as sold out, the Atlas Lions launch "their" Africa Cup of Nations against Comoros. With a clear mission: to succeed in their opening match to embark on the long march towards a title that has eluded the Kingdom for nearly half a century.
