The Atlas Lions, buoyed by strong home support, are currently favored to win the trophy, marking their best performance in AFCON since 2004.

Mazraoui has been a consistent presence and is anticipated to start in the match set for 20:00 GMT. He has featured in every lineup selected by coach Walid Regragui, playing a total of 408 out of 450 minutes so far.

Prior to the finals, he remarked: “This is the moment to truly shine, and everyone expects us to achieve great things there.”

Azzedine Ounah is currently a doubt due to injury, while Nigeria will be without their captain Wilfred Ndidi, who is serving a suspension.
