It’s been 22 years since Morocco last appeared in the Africa Cup of Nations final and 50 years since they won the thing. Tonight the 2026 hosts have the chance to stay right to the very end of their own party when they take on the runners-up of two years ago, Nigeria, in Rabat in the second semi-final. Walid Regragui’s side topped their group and have since knocked out Tanzania and Cameroon. Real Madrid’s Brahim Díaz, whose club coach has changed while he’s been away, has scored in every game at the tournament so far, including the first of Morocco’s two against Cameroon in last Friday’s quarter-final.
