Morocco and Senegal meet in a heavyweight Africa Cup of Nations final showdown on Sunday with the host country hoping a partisan crowd can help them claim a first continental title in half a century.
Walid Regraguis Morocco were favourites coming into the competition having become the first African side ever to reach the World Cup semi-finals in 2022 and established themselves as the continents leading team in the FIFA rankings.
They are unbeaten in two years, since going out of the last AFCON in Ivory Coast in the last 16 to South Africa, and are captained by the current African footballer of the year, the rampaging Paris Saint-Germain full-back Achraf Hakimi.
