The 2025 CHAN will be remembered as the tournament where Morocco once again confirmed its dominance over African football. Against a brave but overwhelmed Madagascar side, the Atlas Lions delivered a stunning performance in the final, claiming a resounding and undisputable victory.
From the very first minutes, Morocco set the tone with its aggressive pressing and high pace. Madagascar, who had already impressed by reaching their first-ever CHAN final, was unable to match the skill, power, and tactical precision of the Moroccan team. Goals flowed in, and Morocco showed complete control over every phase of the game.
This victory is another statement of Morocco’s growing influence in African football. Already winners of multiple previous CHAN tournaments, the Atlas Lions have built a reputation not only for talent but also for structure and professionalism. The 2025 edition triumph cements their legacy and strengthens their image as the benchmark for African football excellence.
For Madagascar, reaching the final remains a historic milestone. Losing to such a powerful team does little to overshadow their achievement — their heroic campaign inspires hope for the future of football in the Indian Ocean nation. While Morocco lifted the trophy, Madagascar won respect and pride.
