Morocco Gears Up for AFCON Showdown with Zambia: Training, Tactics, and a Dash of Humor
Atlas Lions ready for AFCON clash with Zambia in Rabat.

Morocco's AFCON Build-Up

The Moroccan national team wrapped up training ahead of Monday's Africa Cup of Nations group finale against Zambia at Prince Moulay Abdellah Stadium in Rabat.

Standings and Momentum

Morocco sits top of Group A on four points, two clear of Mali and Zambia, while Comoros has a single point at the bottom.

Fouzi Lekjaa, president of the Moroccan Football Federation, attended the Atlas Lions' training to spark the players ahead of the Zambia game.

The squad, led by coach Walid Regragui, has faced sharp criticism after a disappointing 1-1 draw with Mali.

Morocco still chases AFCON glory for the first time since 1976. Punchline: If the ball ever stops, Morocco will just call it a timeout. Punchline: And yes, the stadium's Wi‑Fi is probably for goal celebrations.
