This evening, Monday 29 December 2025, the third and final matchday of the group stage (Groups A and B) of the 2025 Africa Cup of Nations in Morocco kicks off, in a decisive football night featuring direct clashes that will determine the teams qualifying for the Round of 16. With the standings tight, “small details” could tip the balance—by a single goal or point.
Morocco vs. Zambia: A Test to Secure Top Spot Without Surprises
The Moroccan national team faces Zambia at 20:00 (Morocco time) at the Prince Moulay Abdellah Sports Complex in Rabat.
The Atlas Lions enter the game leading Group A with 4 points, following an opening win over Comoros (2–0) and a draw against Mali (1–1). This gives Morocco a “relatively comfortable” position, but it does not eliminate the uncertainty linked to the outcome of the group’s other match.
At the Same Time: Mali vs. Comoros — A Match That Could Change All Calculations
In parallel with the Rabat fixture, attention will also turn to Mali vs. Comoros, a game capable of reshaping the group table and influencing top-spot and runner-up scenarios, given how close the points are before the final whistle of the last round.
Group B: Egypt in a Safe Position, Angola Seeking a “Revival Win”
At 17:00, Egypt take on Angola. Egypt come into the match having already secured qualification for the next round, raising questions over technical choices and possible squad rotation. Angola, meanwhile, face greater pressure as they chase a result to revive their qualification hopes.
South Africa vs. Zimbabwe: 90 Minutes on the Edge of Qualification
Also at 17:00, South Africa meet Zimbabwe in a match where tension is high, as both sides need a positive result to secure qualification or improve their position in the group standings—an encounter that could be decided by fine margins on the pitch.
Between Rabat, Casablanca, Agadir, and Marrakech, today’s fixtures are described as a true “nerve-wracking round,” as the identities of the qualified teams may be determined in the final minutes—while the knockout-stage bracket begins to take shape, where the margin for error becomes minimal.
