The 2025 Africa Cup of Nations is nearing the semifinals, with host nation Morocco and Senegal already through after victories on Friday, in a must-watch competition taking place in Morocco through January 18.
The Atlas Lions booked their place in the last four with a 2–0 quarterfinal win over five-time champion Cameroon. In a controlled match, Brahim Diaz opened the scoring to make it five goals in five matches at the tournament, before Ismael Saibari scored his first goal to double the lead.
Senegal secured its semifinal spot with a 1–0 win over Mali, as Iliman Ndiaye found the net for the first time in this AFCON during the first half. The Lions of Teranga’s 11th goal in five games was enough to send them through, leaving them just behind Nigeria at the top of the scoring chart with 12.
Morocco, ranked 11th in the world and first in Africa, will play the winner of Saturday’s Algeria vs. Nigeria match, while Senegal, 19th globally, will face the winner of Egypt vs. Côte d’Ivoire on Wednesday, Jan. 14.
