Morocco and Nigeria, the finalist teams in the African Nations Championship hosted by Morocco, resulted in a clear victory for the Moroccan football team of local players with a final score of 4 to null over Nigeria. The final match took place this Sunday (February 4) at the Mohammed V complex in Casablanca, at the end of three weeks of an African football feast, the 5th edition of the African Nations Championship (CHAN-2018). The King also expressed his conviction that this victory will be a very strong motivation for the national team and for all Moroccan sportsmen. The organization of CHAN-2018 in Morocco was lauded as remarkable on all levels and the public’s attendance also scored a record during a CHAN tournament. This victory is most significant for Morocco, which will participate in this year’s world football cup in Russia and which is vying to host the 2026 world football tournament.
