Morocco chase historic third title against Madagascar in CHAN final

Morocco chase historic third title against Madagascar in CHAN final
Saturday 30 August 2025 - 11:32

The Moroccan local national team will face Madagascar’s Barea in a highly anticipated final this afternoon in Nairobi, with kickoff set for 16:00 and live coverage on BeIN Sports.

Morocco enter as favorites, seeking a record third continental title after their triumphs in 2018 and 2020. Their campaign in Kenya has been marked by resilience and consistency, with a 3-1 victory over DR Congo, a hard-fought 1-0 win against Tanzania, and a dramatic penalty shootout success over defending champions Senegal after a 1-1 draw.

A win would allow them to stand alone as record holders, ahead of DR Congo.

Madagascar, however, embody the surprise story of the tournament. In only their second appearance, the Barea stunned hosts Kenya (1-1, 4-3 on penalties) and eliminated Sudan, conquerors of Algeria. Riding their momentum, they dream of turning their underdog run into an unprecedented title.
