Morocco Turns the Africa Cup Final into a Tech Showcase
18 January 2026
Tech-Driven Final Broadcast
The Africa Cup of Nations final between Morocco and Senegal tonight will feature an unprecedented TV production in Morocco, showcasing a high-tech broadcasting system featuring roughly 40 high-quality cameras.
Two Bollecam Ultra Motion cameras, paired with two Crane Cam units behind the goal, plus 11 Super Slow Motion angles including two Ultra Motion shots, aim to capture every minute detail of the match, according to Moroccan press.
The production will also employ a Spider Cam, multiple drones for aerial shots, two cinema cameras for replay, and two wireless Steadicams, along with other specialty cameras, including handheld and PTZ robots.
French world-class director Laurent Lachan will oversee the TV direction, having previously supervised the Qatar 2022 World Cup final.
What to Expect On Screen
In addition to the on-field action, this setup emphasizes cinematic replays and immersive angles to bring fans closer to the drama, while maintaining clarity across all platforms.
Two camera systems will be placed behind the goal and additional cameras will cover aerial and alternative angles to deliver a comprehensive broadcast experience.
Additionally to the tech, the match will still rely on traditional on-field storytelling, but this production marks a leap for Moroccan broadcasting, blending sports and cinema to deliver closer, more dramatic angles.
Punchline: If this broadcast gets any sharper, the ball might need a haircut. Punchline 2: The stadium lights might file a complaint for stealing the spotlight.
