RABAT, Jan 15, 2026 (BSS/AFP) - Hosts Morocco will play Sadio Mane's Senegal in this weekend's Africa Cup of Nations final after both emerged victorious in tense last-four ties on Wednesday as Mohamed Salah's dreams of winning the title were again dashed. Morocco have been under enormous pressure to deliver a first AFCON title for their country in half a century and just their second overall. Senegal, champions in 2022, dominated possession against cautious Egypt as the Cup of Nations title continues to elude Liverpool superstar Salah. It will be Senegal's fourth Cup of Nations final appearance overall and their third in the last four editions. Referring to his former Liverpool teammate Salah, Mane said the Egyptian is "one of the best players in the world".
