Morocco will look to close out Africa Cup of Nations group play with a win when it faces Zambia in its final Group F match on Wednesday.
The Atlas Lions have already secured progression to the last 16 after starting the tournament with a win over Tanzania and a draw with DR Congo, but will look to clinch the group with a victory to secure the best possible knockout stage draw.
After a fourth-place finish at the 2022 World Cup, Morocco entered this tournament among the favorites. The North African nation has only won AFCON once before, back in 1976.
Zambia has started the group stage with draws against DR Congo and Tanzania. A win over Morocco will guarantee progression to the last 16, while a draw could give them a chance depending on results in other matches.
Here’s everything you need to know ahead of the match.
