Final showdown
On the pitch, Morocco will be chasing a record-extending third CHAN title as they face off against tournament underdogs Madagascar, who are seeking their first-ever championship in what has been a fairytale campaign.
Morocco secured their spot in the final after edging out Senegal 5-3 in a post-match penalty shootout in the semifinals, having previously eliminated Tanzania with a 1-0 win in the quarterfinals. The Atlas Lions had earlier finished second to co-hosts Kenya in Group A to qualify for the knockouts.
Madagascar, on the other hand, shocked the football world with a spirited run, finishing second to Tanzania in Group B before knocking out co-hosts Kenya 4-3 in a tense penalty shootout in the quarter-finals. They went on to stun Sudan with a dramatic extra-time winner in the semi-finals at the Benjamin Mkapa Stadium in Dar es Salaam to book their historic final slot
