The Moroccan national team is poised to face Zambia on Wednesday in what appears to be a symbolic match on paper for the Moroccan squad—a crucial task for maintaining their position in the same city and topping the group.
In this context, the group leader, Morocco, securing the second position in Group E, which includes Mali, Tunisia, South Africa, and Namibia, is likely to face South Africa, emphasizing the increased possibility of a showdown with the South African team.
However, if the Moroccan team advances as the second in its group, they will confront the leader of Group B, consisting of Egypt, Ghana, Mozambique, and Cape Verde.
Consequently, Morocco would face Cape Verde as long as they maintain their position at the top of their group.
As a third scenario, in the event of Morocco advancing to the second round as the third in the standings, they might encounter the Senegalese national team, the reigning champions of the previous edition.
