The exploits achieved will make us forget the defeat of the Morocco team against South Africa (0-2) in the round of 16 of the CAN Côte d’Ivoire 2023 at the Laurent Pokou stadium in the city of San Pedro. The Moroccan futsal team beat its Angolan counterpart by 5 goals to 1, in the final of the 7th edition, at the Prince Moulay Abdellah sports complex in Rabat and won the title of the African Futsal Cup of Nations, for the third time in a row.
