Hosts Morocco open the 2025 Africa Cup of Nations by hosting the Comoros this evening.
The Atlas Lions are looking to become the 20th host nation to win the tournament, but face an opponent they must be wary of.
Comoros have built an impressive reputation in Africa and remained undefeated during their qualifying campaign.
Morocco may be one of the favorites to win the tournament, but nothing is guaranteed at the CAN.
