On August 14, 2025, Morocco and Zambia faced off in a group stage match of the African Nations Championship (CHAN) 2024/2025. The match took place at the Nyayo National Stadium in Nairobi, Kenya.
Morocco entered the match under pressure, needing a victory to keep their quarter-final hopes alive after a surprising 1-0 loss to Kenya. Zambia, on the other hand, had lost their first two matches and was playing for pride, already eliminated from contention.
The contest was expected to be a test of Morocco's technical supremacy and ball control against Zambia's more disruptive, physical style of play. Historically, Morocco has had a dominant record against Zambia, including a 3-1 victory in the quarter-finals of the 2020 CHAN tournament.
Before the game, there was also news of disciplinary actions from the Confederation of African Football (CAF), which had sanctioned Morocco, Kenya, and Zambia for various breaches of regulations during the tournament. Morocco received a fine for the conduct of its players during their match against Kenya.
