Just a few hours remain before the CAN 2025 final between Morocco and Senegal. The head coach of the Atlas Lions has shared a message calling for unity.

The winner of CAN 2025 will be either Morocco or Senegal. With the final looming, Morocco’s coach Walid Regragui has delivered a heartfelt message of unity.

"We will remain brothers right up until kick-off. When the referee blows the whistle, it will be a football match, and when the final whistle sounds, nothing can break the bonds between Moroccans and Senegalese. We are brothers, we have always been brothers, and we will always remain brothers. That is unbreakable, in victory or in defeat. If God does not grant us victory, we will congratulate our brothers and be happy for them. They will have their second star. I am convinced that if the roles were reversed, the Senegalese would do the same. In the meantime, there’s a football match to play, and both teams want to win," said the Corbeil-Essonnes native at the press conference.
