AFCON final: How to watch Senegal vs Morocco on TV channel and live stream in the UK | Football

The final of the Africa Cup of Nations is played in Rabat on Sunday night as home team Morocco take on Senegal.

The final is set after two cagey semis, as Senegal edged past Egypt 1-0 and Morocco needed a penalty shootout to beat Nigeria.

Senegal’s run also saw them beat Sudan 3-1 in the last 16 and Mali 1-0 in the quarter-finals.

Morocco knocked out Tanzania in the last 16, winning 1-0, before beating Cameroon 2-0 in the last eight.

The final will be played at the Prince Moulay Abdellah Stadium, which hosts just short of 70,000 and will be full for the huge contest.

Senegal won the Africa Cup of Nations as recently as 2021 but Morocco have not won the tournament since 1976.

It would be an emotional victory for the Atlas Lions if they were to end their epic wait for the title on home soil.
