Morocco XI vs Senegal – Predicted lineup and team news | OneFootball

Morocco face Senegal in the 2025 Africa Cup of Nations final this evening.

The host nation take on Senegal at Prince Moulay Abdellah Stadium, aiming to end the nation’s 50-year wait for an AFCON title.

It’s a first final in over two decades for Morocco, who entered the tournament as the number-one ranked side – and backed by an expectant home support.

In their path tonight are Senegal, who have reached a third AFCON final in four attempts. The Lions of Teranga won their first continental title in 2021, with both nations aiming for a second overall success.

Morocco team news

Head coach Walid Regragui, who was part of the Morocco side that finished as runners-up in 2004, is again expected to be without former Wolves defender Roman Saiss and midfielder Azzedine Ounahi. It’s otherwise a full-strength squad for The Atlas Lions who, unlike Senegal, do not have suspension absentees.

Brahim Diaz’s goal run ended in the goalless semi-final against Nigeria, but the Real Madrid midfielder will again be the man to provide spark. In attack, Regragui must decide between Ayoub El Kaabi and Youssef En-Nesyri at centre-forward. The former has not scored in the knockout rounds to date.

Morocco predicted lineup

Predicted Morocco XI: Bono; Hakimi, Aguerd, Masina, Mazraoui; El Aynaoui; Diaz, El Khannouss, Saibari, Ezzalzouli; El Kaabi.
