In front of their home crowd in Rabat, the Moroccan futsal team won the 2026 African Cup of Nations final, beating Angola 5–2. The Atlas Lions have confirmed their absolute supremacy on the African continent by clinching a fourth consecutive title.
The Atlas Lions’ reign over African futsal continues in spectacular fashion. On Wednesday 21 October 2026, following a masterfully controlled and festive final at the Prince Moulay Abdellah Sports Complex in Rabat, the national team claimed the African crown for the fourth time in a row.
Following their triumphs in 2016, 2020 and 2024, Morocco has added a fourth star to its shirt. Following this historic victory, His Majesty King Mohammed VI extended his warmest congratulations to the players and the entire coaching staff.
In a frenzied atmosphere, Angola initially showed promising attacking intent before coming under pressure from Morocco. Othmane Idrissi broke the deadlock in the 17th minute with a powerful strike, but the Angolans reacted immediately, with João Josemar Cambangula equalising just a minute later
Voted man of the match, Youssef Jouad restored his side’s lead in the 19th minute, just before half-time. After the break, spurred on by an exceptional display of support from the crowd, Driss Raiss El Fenni in the 21st minute, Ismael Amazal in the 33rd minute and Bilal Bakkali in the 35th minute sealed victory for the defending champions. Anderson Fortes’ goal for Angola in the 37th minute did nothing to alter the outcome of this final.
This fourth consecutive title caps off an absolutely flawless campaign under head coach Hicham Dguig. The Moroccans racked up five convincing victories, beginning their campaign with clear-cut wins against Algeria (4–0), Zambia (7–0) and Libya (6–0). They then saw off Egypt in the semi-final with a 6–0 victory before finishing in style against Angola.
In total, the Moroccan attack scored 28 goals whilst conceding just two throughout the tournament. Beyond the purely sporting aspect, this Africa Cup of Nations, held in Rabat, confirms the Kingdom’s expertise in hosting major international events, characterised by packed stadiums and sustained public enthusiasm.
