The Atlas Cubs were so close to clinching their first African title last time against Senegal, but are now fully focused on giving their all on home soil in front of their fans.
Throughout this competition, the Moroccan side has impressed. They’ve shown off their future footballing potential, with a tight defence and an energetic, dynamic attack.
Under Baha’s guidance, the team has been in perfect sync, adapting to the powerful physical play typical of African football. The penalty shootout heroics of Chaib Belarrouch against Cote D’Ivoire are a prime example of this adaptability.
Baha has made it clear that his team has studied every possible scenario against Mali, a side that regularly reaches the final stages of African tournaments.
Going into this crucial match, Morocco has a solid defence, having conceded just one goal in the competition, and a ferocious attack that’s netted 11 goals.
With players like Elias Belmoukhtar, Zakaria Wazzan, Ziyad Baheya, and Mounsef Zakri, Morocco has the talent to break down the Mali defence, which coach Adama Diallo insists is ready to give everything for the win.
Mali, meanwhile, will leave nothing to chance as they aim for a third title. Their collective spirit and resilience have been clear from the start of the tournament, with a relentless attacking style.
