Morocco's Futsal Team Aims for Fourth Consecutive Title in Rabat
In an exhilarating display of skill and determination, Morocco's national futsal team has made an impressive run to the final of the African Cup of Nations (CAN) with a remarkable record of 23 goals scored and none conceded. The Lions of the Atlas are set to face Angola on Wednesday, October 21, in Rabat, as they vie for their fourth consecutive African title. For fans in France, Belgium, the Netherlands, and Spain, the match will kick off at 22:00 local time, while Moroccan supporters can tune in at 20:00. The final will be broadcast live on Arryadia TNT and beIN Sports 6, with a free viewing option available on the African Football Confederation's official YouTube channel, CAF TV.
Under the guidance of coach Hicham Dguig, the Moroccan team enters this final with outstanding statistics, having won all four of their matches leading up to the final. This includes dominating performances against Algeria (4-0), Zambia (7-0), Libya (6-0), and a decisive semi-final victory over Egypt (6-0) on Monday night. The team has demonstrated exceptional prowess, and they are now just one match away from securing another prestigious title.
Historic Rivalry: Morocco vs. Angola in the Final
The upcoming match not only holds significant importance for Morocco but also evokes fond memories for Moroccan supporters. Two years ago, the Lions of the Atlas triumphed over Angola with a score of 5-1 in Rabat, claiming their third African crown. Now, the same opponent stands in the way of their quest for a fourth consecutive championship title. Morocco, having previously won the tournament in 2016, 2020, and 2024, shares the record for the most continental titles with Egypt. A victory in this final would allow Morocco to set a new record as the sole titleholder and achieve the remarkable feat of winning four editions in a row.
On the other side of the court, Angola also has historical aspirations, aiming to secure their first African title. After a dramatic comeback against Algeria, where they overturned a 2-0 deficit to win 3-2, the Palancas Negras have shown they can turn the tide of a match, presenting a formidable challenge for Morocco. The Moroccan team will strive to maintain their unbeaten streak in this edition of the tournament, supported by their home crowd.
The bronze match between Egypt and Algeria is scheduled for 17:00 local time at the same venue, setting the stage for the highly anticipated clash between Morocco and Angola. The free broadcast on CAF TV will allow Moroccan fans abroad to enjoy the match live.
