RABAT- This is the end of the fifth edition of the African Cup of Nations reserved for players aged under 23. This Saturday, July 8, 2023, in the final played at the Moulay-Abdallah stadium in Rabat, Morocco won the trophy for the first time ahead of Egypt, after their difficult victory (2-1).
It should be noted that Egypt, defending champions, stood up to the Moroccans for a long time at 10 against 11 before finally giving in in extra time. Morocco thus succeeds Egypt on the list of winners of this competition. For its part, Guinea, which will play a play-off match to hope for a place for the 2024 Olympic Games, has been designated a fair play team by the African Football Confederation. A small consolation
