Sudan 🇸🇩 0-2 Burkina Faso 🇧🇫 Assad the Lion's 🦁 half-time dancing in Casablanca more entertaining than anything in the Second Half. Both teams progress

Senegal 🇸🇳 3-1 Sudan 🇸🇩 Tangier Grand Stadium nailed on for 2030 World Cup. Impressive arena saw Sudan take shock lead before Senegal showed their class

Morocco 🇲🇦 1-0 Tanzania 🇹🇿 Weather at AFCON has been mostly awful with torrential downpours. Enjoyed the blue sky glimpse through Prince Moulay Abdellah stadium roof

South Africa 🇿🇦 1-2 Cameroon 🇨🇲 Best taxi driver in Rabat ensured I made second 2nd Round match of day for anthems. Less than an hour between games!

Egypt 🇪🇬 3-1 Benin 🇧🇯 AET. Wasn't going to visit Agadir to complete 9 AFCON stadiums. But cheaper to fly Rabat - Agadir - London than any route. Treated to rare sunshine, amazing stadium & hint of a shock

On the beach after 13 AFCON matches, 38 goals, all 9 stadiums & 6 host cities, 19/24 teams, 7 Moroccan trains & 13/18 soaking days. It has been exhilarating & exhausting. Made new friends & now seen Sudan 🇸🇩 play 3x more than England this millennium. Might be back soon!

Fulham 2-1 Chelsea. Silva lining to home return. Beating West London rivals (3rd time in 4 seasons) almost as good as AFCON 😉

Was going to dress up as Atlas Lion 🦁 for Sunday's Final. But Senegal are known as the Teranga ('friendly', in Wolof) Lions 🦁 Atlas Lions have darker manes. So a scary dark lion it is! 🦁 Lion photo credit: me in Botswana

Soaking up pre-Final waves of emotion in Rabat 🏆 This has been a very wet tourno ⚡ Noone here will care if Morocco win first AFCON in my lifetime

Like a magician, AFCON always keeps you guessing. The first Africa Cup of Nations in Morocco since 1986 delivered much of what it promised. But no rabbits. My longest piece since 'Europe United' is out now 55footballnations.com/2026/02/05/rab…
