Lyrics

Two African heavyweights, Morocco and Ghana lock horns at the Stade Ahmadou Ahidjo on Monday evening for their first game in Group C of the African Cup of Nations.

The Black stars of Ghana will be looking to win their fifth AFCON title while the Atlas Lions of Morocco will aim to end their 45-year wait for the continental crown, having last won it in 1976.

Morocco enjoyed a scintillating qualification campaign for the tournament as they finished top of their group. They were also unbeaten during the qualifiers in which they won four games and drew 2 to amass 14 points, 5 points ahead of eventual runners up, Mauritania.

Morocco will also look to redeem themselves as they fell short of expectations in the Arab cup. They will be with Chelsea playmaker Hakim Ziyech as the midfielder failed to make the squad having not played for the team since June 2021.

Ghana, on the other hand are the third most successful nation at the tournaments having won AFCON titles on four different occasions.
The Black stars of Ghana will line up with Premier League trio, Thomas Partey, Daniel Amartey and Jordan Ayew in their ranks.
