They take on a Comoros side who are outsiders in Group A but will be keen to serve up an opening-day upset, having reached the last 16 and beat Ghana on their only previous appearance in 2021. Morocco reached the semi-finals of the last World Cup in Qatar, and boast the likes of reigning African Footballer of the Year Achraf Hakimi, who is only on the bench this evening after injury, plus Noussair Mazraoui and Brahim Diaz in their ranks. They will be tough to topple as they seek to win AFCON for the first time since 1976.
