Moussa Niakhaté and Mamadou Sarr in AFCON final, OL pride | OneFootball

Moussa Niakhaté and academy graduate Mamadou Sarr will play in the Africa Cup of Nations final. The match between Senegal and hosts Morocco kicks off on Sunday at 20:00 in Rabat.

Le Progres notes that Niakhaté, a current defender, has earned recognition for his professionalism, while Sarr, who left Lyon early, is viewed as a gifted talent.

Olympique Lyonnais has long cultivated strong African links, with its players often present at major international tournaments.

The club has been represented by Senegalese and Moroccan footballers, each adding to the institution’s story.

Their involvement further underlines that heritage and the pride the club takes in their journeys.
