At 5 PM at the Prince Moulay Abdellah Stadium in Rabat, Morocco begins its knockout phase against Tanzania, with the idea that “the real tournament starts now.” In this context, Hoalid Regragui must also deal with a significant blow confirmed just hours before the match: Azzedine Ounahi is unavailable, seen at the stadium on crutches with a brace, forcing the staff to readjust the balance in midfield.

Brahim Díaz has established himself as one of Morocco’s key figures during the group stage, scoring in three consecutive matches and contributing significantly to the team’s play with his ability to operate between the lines. His importance in a knockout match is twofold: he can speed up the game when the opponent sits back, and he can also create a ‘decisive’ action without necessarily dominating for 90 minutes. This ability to create imbalance in tight spaces is often what unlocks the round of 16. Against Tanzania, his role will be central to avoid the mental fatigue of a match that…
Just hours before the third group match against Zambia, Hoalid Regragui placed the 2025 Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON) in its reality: a tournament where the status of host country offers no shortcuts. In a press conference, the coach of the Atlas Lions reminded that the competition is played under optimal conditions for all teams, making the difference even finer. He emphasized one point: beyond the pitches, hotels, and organization, “this will be the most difficult AFCON to win” and Morocco must rely on what cannot be shared: its public. In this logic, Regragui reiterated his message to the stands:…
