The 22 men who will compete for the title of African champion are known. Senegal and Morocco are preparing to face each other in the CAN 2025 final on the lawn of the Prince Moulay Abdellah stadium in Rabat, this Sunday (8 p.m.). Pape Thiaw and Walid Regragui revealed their team line-ups ahead of kick-off.
Decisive against Nigeria in the penalty shootout, Yassine Bounou will keep the goals for the Atlas Lions. On the right side of the Moroccan defense, captain Achraf Hakimi will start alongside Nayef Aguerd, Adam Masina and Noussair Mazraoui. In midfield, Azzedine Ounahi is still injured in his calf and gives way to Neil El Aynaoui, Ismaël Saibari and Bilal El Khannouss.

The Lions of Teranga will have to do without two of their executives. Suspended for the final for accumulation of yellow cards, Kalidou Koulibaly and Habib Diarra will remain in the stands.

On the sides of the defense which will protect Édouard Mendy will take place El-Hadji Malick Diouf and Antoine Mendy, who replaces Krépin Diatta, injured during the warm-up.
In the absence of Habib Diarra, Monegasque Lamine Camara will take over to support Pape Gueye and evening captain Idrissa Gueye. The second best attack in the CAN (12 goals) will be proudly represented by Iliman Ndiaye, Nicolas Jackson and especially Sadio Mané.
