Already champions of Africa at U-23 and U-17 levels, the North African nation now has its sights set on a historic treble by capturing the U-20 Africa Cup of Nations as well.

The "Lion Cubs" will go head-to-head with South Africa on Sunday, May 18, in the continental tournament final.

With a deep and talented squad, the Moroccan side looks well-equipped to lift the U-20 AFCON trophy.

Senegal's Grand Slam

Senegal pulled off the incredible feat of clinching five continental titles in a remarkably short span: the senior Africa Cup of Nations, U-20 AFCON, U-17 AFCON, Beach Soccer AFCON, and the African Nations Championship (CHAN).

An extraordinary achievement that has shone a spotlight on the nation’s impressive youth development programs.
