Tonight, the two semi-final matches of this year’s Africa Cup of Nations will be played. Senegal vs. Egypt at 5 PM, and Nigeria vs. Morocco at 8 PM. Which two teams do you think will meet in the final?

Nigeria

As the team with the most potent attack in this Africa Cup of Nations, Nigeria has scored 14 goals so far, excluding penalties. They have conceded 4 goals, all in the group stage, and remain unbeaten in the knockout stages.

Morocco

As the host nation of this tournament, Morocco is determined to lift the Africa Cup of Nations trophy on home soil. While their attacking firepower may not match Nigeria’s, they boast the most solid defense of all participating teams, conceding only one goal in five matches so far.

Senegal

Senegal reaches the 2025 Africa Cup of Nations semifinals with a solid project that combines young talent and experienced players. After winning AFCON 2021 and maintaining their status as one of the most consistent teams on the continent, the Lions of Teranga aim to take center stage once again.

Egypt

Mohamed Salah is one step closer to realising his long-held dream of winning the Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON) with Egypt as the Pharaohs chase a record-extending eighth continental title in Morocco. Egypt are record seven-time AFCON winners with title victories in 1957, 1959, 1986, 1998, 2006, 2008 and 2010.
