Morocco face Libya on Friday, 16 October in the final group-stage round of the Futsal Africa Cup of Nations 2026, with the hosts already guaranteed a place in the semi-finals.
The match will begin at 20:00 Moroccan time, which is 22:00 in France, at the Moulay Abdellah Hall in Rabat.
It will be broadcast in Morocco on Arryadia and streamed on CAF TV, the official YouTube channel of the Confederation of African Football.
Morocco have made an ideal start to the tournament as hosts and three-time defending champions. Hicham Dguig’s side opened their campaign with a 4-0 victory over Algeria before recording an emphatic 7-0 win against Zambia on Wednesday.
Those results have given the Atlas Lions six points from two matches, with 11 goals scored and none conceded. They have already secured top spot in Group A as well as their place in the last four.
Morocco are seeking a fourth consecutive continental title, having won the competition in 2016, 2020 and 2024. However, they will be without Soufian Charraoui for at least this match after the star, who was brought in as reinforcement for the tournament, suffered an injury.
Libya’s position is considerably less secure. The Mediterranean Knights began with a 3-1 defeat by Zambia and then drew 2-2 with Algeria. They had led by two goals with only a few minutes remaining before Algeria fought back to claim a point.
That result left Libya with one point, level with Algeria in third place and behind Zambia, who have three points. The Libyans are still capable of reaching the semi-finals, but their route depends on both their own result and the outcome of the other Group A fixture.
Libya must beat Morocco and hope for a favourable result in the simultaneous match between Zambia and Algeria. A Zambia victory would eliminate Libya, while an Algeria win could leave the qualification calculations depending on goal difference and other factors.
The task is particularly difficult against a Morocco side yet to concede in the tournament. Libya, African champions in 2008, therefore need to produce a major upset against the competition favourites if they are to keep their semi-final hopes alive.
