Morocco has participated in the Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON) 20 times, where they have won 2 championships and 33 matches, lost 19 matches, drawn 27 matches, and scored a total of 95 goals.
The Morocco national football team began its participation in AFCON much later than other North African states, but quickly emerged as one of its strongest contenders. They made their debut in the 1972 Africa Cup of Nations, and shortly thereafter became the second North African side to win the AFCON cup in the 1976 tournament. Since then, they have appeared in the finals in 2004, where they were runners-up to Tunisia, and in 2025, which they won after the opposing side was ruled to have forfeited the match.
Morocco had been scheduled to host the 2015 Africa Cup of Nations, but controversially withdrew over fears of an ebola outbreak, causing their team to be disqualified from that year's tournament. They then hosted and became the champions of the 2025 tournament in a highly disputed and controversial final, which saw the Moroccans lost 1âÂÂ0 at home before handed a 3âÂÂ0 victory by CAF Appeals Board two months later.
