The debut of Algeria in this CAN 2025 was marked by a stark contrast. While the Fennecs shone on the pitch by crushing Sudan (3-0), the pre-match was marred by scenes of chaos outside their hotel in Rabat, caused by a disorganized distribution of free tickets that required police intervention.
Good news for the defense of the Atlas Lions. Contrary to the alarming rumors that have been circulating in recent hours, Nayef Aguerd and Adam Masina are operational. The two defenders will be available to Walid Regragui for the clash against Mali on Friday at the Prince Moulay Abdellah complex.
No popular celebration on the most beautiful avenue in the world for the group stage of the 2025 AFCON.

The journey of the Atlas Lions at the 2025 AFCON is impacting the daily lives of Brussels residents .

As the first day of the group stage comes to an end this Wednesday with the entry of the last favorites, an initial assessment is in order behind the scenes: the Moroccan infrastructure has brilliantly passed its test against the weather.

A major cleanup on the streets of the Kingdom.

A "clean hands" operation aimed at freeing up public space and ensuring health safety for the thousands of visitors expected.
The victory against the Comoros is no coincidence. An analysis of the statistics of the national team’s last twenty matches reveals a real trademark: unwavering patience and devastating efficiency after the break. A decryption of the Regragui method that has once again borne fruit on Sunday.
Contrasting images in Agadir. While the Group B clash between Egypt and Zimbabwe had started in an almost deserted Adrar stadium, the Moroccan organizers reacted very quickly.

The euphoria of the Africa Cup of Nations collides with the reality of the wallet. While Moroccans are rushing to cafes to follow the matches , many establishments do not hesitate to inflate their prices or impose entry fees, arousing the anger of supporters in the face of this opportunistic inflation.
While social networks are flooded with videos advocating fraternity between Moroccans and Algerians on the sidelines of the 2025 AFCON, the political reality remains icy.
