The Moroccan football selection (U17) qualified in the final of the African Cup of Nations (Morocco-2025), by beating its Ivorian counterpart by 4 shots on goal at 3 (regulatory time: 0-0), Tuesday evening at the El Bachir stadium in Mohammedia.

Decisive throughout the game, the Moroccan porter Chouaib Bellaarouch, from the Mohammed VI Academy of football, was the great protagonist of this qualification, by leaving three penalties during the penalty shootout.

Earlier in the evening, Mali had won its qualification in the final, beating Burkina Faso (2-0) at the Larbi Zaouli stadium in Casablanca.

The final will take place next Saturday at the El Bachir stadium, while the classification match will be played the day before at the Larbi Zaouli stadium. The two meetings are scheduled at 8:00 p.m. GMT+1.
