The Eagles are summoned to respond to the Atlas Lions before their duel. On Sunday, Morocco launched its African Cup of Nations by dominating the Comoros (2-0), thus collecting the first three points of this 2025 edition. This Monday, Mali had the opportunity to respond to the host country against Zambia, the fourth team in group A. But it finally conceded the draw (1-1) at the last minute.
Unlike the Moroccans who will play all their group matches from the Prince Moulay Abdallah Stadium, the Malians began their campaign on the pitch of the Mohammed V Stadium at 3 p.m., this Monday, December 22, in Casablanca against Zambia
Now comes the most anticipated clash of this group between Hamari Traoré’s team and that of Achraf Hakimi. Mali and Morocco will cross swords in Rabat on Friday December 26 at 9 p.m., just to draw up the hierarchy of the group more precisely.
Finally, Tom Saintfiet’s selection will play its last game of the first round against the Comoros, at the Mohammed V Stadium on Monday, December 29 at 8 p.m., while the Moroccans will challenge Zambia at the same time for the sake of fairness.
