Decidedly the group of Morocco seems to come alive with a very advanced ambition if we refer to the selectors of the three other countries that make up the group of Morocco. All consider that they have major advantages to go as far as possible in this competition at least the 1/2 final
If we count on these ambitions, we can say that Morocco is in beautiful sheets and should therefore fight hard to show its real capacities all the more since it is considered to be favorite
From this perspective, Mali which is part of our group, shows an air of hope given, if we come back to history, have never lost in the group match against the organizing country after having beaten Tunisia (2-0) in 94 and reassembled 4 goals from Angola for a final score of 4-4 in 2010.
It will be recalled that the one and only final played by Mali dates back to the CAN Yaoundé 72, 53 years old, and the current Belgian technician Tom Sainfiet des Aigles plans to replace the bar a little higher by reviving the good memories of Malian football: “We want to play 7 games in Morocco. We dream of the final, ”said Tom Sainfiet after the all -confident draw of his team:“ I have a good team and all my players are ready. I’m very happy ”.
Of the 24 qualified countries, the Belgian technician said he had no preference insofar as he considers that they are all to respect. “With the draw, I was open to everything, I had no preference, because for me, each qualified team is a strong team and we are also strong. Now I am happy with this draw, because we will play against Morocco here in Morocco, and it’s always fantastic. And also against Zambia and the Comoros, two teams so strong, but we will prepare well. There is no small country, you have to stay focused in every game. If you want to stay in the competition for a long time, you must be professional and win difficult matches, and I think each team can win against the other. Now Morocco is the big favorite, but I am happy with the draw. I have a good team and all my players are ready. We said we want to play 7 games in this CAN, because we dream of the final. It is true that the temperature will be different here in Morocco between December and January, but perhaps more favorable for professionals who play in Europe. For the climate, it will not be a problem, because practically all African countries have players who evolve in Europe ”.
The CAN is therefore scheduled in Morocco from December 21, 2025 to January 18, 2026.
