CAN-2025: Morocco Qualifies Without Strain Against Zambia

Under pressure in front of their home crowd, Morocco lived up to their status as favorites in the CAN-2025 by dominating Zambia (3-0) to finish first in their group and advance to the Round of 16 on Monday, December 29, in Rabat.

After an opening victory against Comoros (2-0) and a disappointing draw against Mali (1-1), the semi-finalists from the last World Cup were under significant pressure during the final matchday of Group A.

While the win wasn’t essential for qualification, it was vital for maintaining momentum and confidence going forward.
