AFCON 2025: Morocco Eye Quarter-Final Spot Against Tanzania

Morocco will face Tanzania on Sunday afternoon at the Prince Moulay Abdellah Stadium in a decisive Africa Cup of Nations round of 16 clash. The Atlas Lions arrive as strong favourites after topping their group with seven points, including a convincing 3-0 win over Zambia. Walid Regragui’s side have been solid defensively, conceding just one goal in three matches, and the pressure is on to deliver a first continental title on home soil.

Tanzania are enjoying a historic run, reaching the knockout stage for the first time in 45 years. The Taifa Stars finished third in Group C with two points and stayed alive with a 1-1 draw against Tunisia. They face a tough task against a Moroccan side that has won seven of the last eight meetings.

Morocco welcome back captain Achraf Hakimi but will miss Hamza Igamane. Tanzania have a full squad, with Mbwana Samatta leading the attack.
