Four Moroccan players feature in the Best XI for the 2025 Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON) in Morocco, held from December 21 to January 18, as announced on Wednesday by the CAF Technical Study Group (TSG).

They are goalkeeper Yassine Bounou, who “delivered an outstanding campaign, conceding just two goals in seven matches,” and his teammates Achraf Hakimi, Noussair Mazraoui, and Brahim Diaz, who finished as the tournament’s top scorer, according to a press release from the African body.

The list is completed by four players from Senegal, namely Moussa Niakhaté, Pape Gueye, Idrissa Gueye, and Sadio Mané, in addition to Nigerians Calvin Bassey, Ademola Lookman, and Victor Osimhen.

The tournament’s Team of the Tournament was selected by the CAF TSG, which implemented a fully integrated evaluation model, initially remotely and then on-site throughout the competition, supported by live data platforms, multi-angle video feeds, and dedicated video analysts.
