Morocco the team to beat
Morocco have taken their game to another level in the last three months and their performances in Group B showed that they will be clear favourites on home soil when the tournament gets underway on 21 December 2025. The Atlas Lions were the only team to win all six of their matches in qualifying and they did it in style, scoring a remarkable 26 goals while only conceding two. Walid Regraguis side put the icing on the cake with a 7-0 demolition of Lesotho on November 18 to register their biggest win of 2024.
