Senegal will face Morocco in 2025 Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON) final at Prince Moulay Abdellah Stadium in Rabat, Morocco, on January 18, 2026, kicking off at 19:00 GMT (20:00 local time).
Hosts Morocco, aiming to end a 50-year wait for their second AFCON title (last won in 1976), boast home advantage and an impressive defensive run. Senegal, the 2021 champions, seek their second crown, relying on stars like Sadio Mané amid some key suspensions.
Morocco are unbeaten so far, with 5 wins and 1 draw in this 2025 AFCON
The Atlas Lions average 1.33 goals scored and 0.16 conceded.
Morocco have conceded just 1 goal across the entire tournament so far.
Senegal won 5 and drew 1 of their 6 AFCON games so far
The Teranga Lions average 2.0 goals scored and 0.33 conceded per game
In their last 5 H2H, Morocco boast a 4-1 advantage over Senegal, with no draw.
Senegal have the best attack of AFCON 2025, with 12 goals scored, that is just one behind Nigeria (13). The Teranga Lions have been solid throughout the tournament and won all of their games in regular time, without needing extra time. Sadio Mane has been their best player so far, with 2 goals and 3 assists.
Morocco, on the other hand, boasts the best defense of the tournament, with only one goal conceded after 6 games. The Atlas Lions mostly relied on Real Madrid star Brahim Diaz who is the tournament’s top scorer with 5 goals. However, they have a solid team as well, with Neil El Aynaoui being a monster at midfield, while 2025 CAF Player of The Year Achraf Hakimi and Nayef Aguerd are leading from the back. Whether a starter or a second-half substitute, Ayoub El Kaabi can be lethal and is going to be one of the main threats on Edouard Mendy’s sticks.
