Morocco won their fourth African futsal title after defeating Angola 5-2 in the final of CAF Futsal Africa Cup of Nations-2026 played Wednesday in Rabat.
The hosts, who had lifted the trophy in 2016, 2020 and 2024, delivered a commanding performance in front of their home supporters to retain their crown.
Moroccan Othmane Elidrissi opened the score in the 17th minute. Angola responded almost immediately through João Cambangula, who levelled the scores in the 18th minute. However, the Atlas Lions regained the lead a minute later when Youssef Jouad found the net to restore their advantage.
The hosts carried that momentum into the second half, with Raiss El Fenni extending the lead in the 21st minute to give Morocco a 3-1 cushion. The Moroccans maintained the pressure after the restart, and Ismail Amazal made it 4-1 in the 33rd minute before Bilal Bakkali struck two minutes later to put the defending champions firmly in control at 5-1.
Angola refused to give up, with Anderson Fortes pulling one back in the 37th minute, but Morocco managed the closing stages to secure a deserved victory and spark celebrations among the home crowd.
The victory confirms Morocco’s position at the summit of African futsal, with the Atlas Lions becoming the first nation to win the continental title four times in a row.
