Journey to the Final

Morocco made it to the final after finishing second in Group A with nine points, one behind Kenya, after starting with a 2-0 win over Angola followed by a 1-0 loss to Kenya after which back-to-back 3-1 wins against Zambia and DR Congo followed.

The Atlas Lions beat Tanzania 1-0 in the quarter-final in Dar es Salaam before overcoming Senegal 5-3 on post-match penalties following a 1-1 draw in regulation time.

Meanwhile, Madagascar finished second in Group B with seven points, three behind Tanzania, edging out Mauritania for the quarter-final ticket on goal difference, after both sides had been level on points.

At the quarter-final, they edged out co-hosts Kenya 4-3 on post-match penalties after a 1-1 draw in regulation time and beat Sudan 1-0 in extra-time at the semi-final to book their place in the final.

CHAN Pedigree

Morocco are the only country to have won CHAN back-to-back, having claimed it in 2018 and 2020. They beat Nigeria 4-0 in the 2018 final, when they hosted the tournament, before silencing Mali 2-0 in Cameroon two years later.

Meanwhile, this is Madagascar’s best run at the tournament as they had finished third in the 2022 edition in Algeria, when they beat Niger 1-0, and it will be historic for the island nation no matter the result at Kasarani Stadium.
