When facing Tanzania in the 1/8 finals of the 2025 African Cup of Nations, this Sunday (5 p.m.), the large family of Moroccan football will have a thought for Ahmed Moujahid, a figure of Moroccan football who passed away this Saturday, January 3.
A Moroccan international in the 1970s, he was notably part of the victorious team of the first (and only) CAN won by Morocco, in 1976 in Ethiopia.
