Could Senegal's consistency in the Africa Cup of Nations since 2019 work in its favour against Morocco in the final ?
Senegal will take on Morocco on Sunday 18 January at 7 p.m. GMT in the final of the 2025 Africa Cup of Nations. This is the third final for the Lions of Teranga since 2019.
The Senegalese team has shown consistent performance at the Africa Cup of Nations. In less than seven years, the Lions of Teranga will compete in their third final in the tournament. They played in the 2019 final, which they lost to Algeria, before winning the title at the 2021 AFCON.
The final on 18 January at the Moulay Abdellah Stadium is their third since 2019 and their fourth in history. This consistency could play an important role in this clash between the two best African nations in the FIFA rankings.
Senegal has gained experience in finals in recent years, unlike Morocco, which is playing in its first final since 2004 and the second in its history.
The two teams, which are facing each other for the first time in a final, are each seeking a second continental title.
