North African teams, Morocco and Egypt have both sealed their places at next year’s football event of the Paris Olympic Games.
Both teams secured qualification after defeating two West African teams, Guinea and Mali respectively at the ongoing CAF U-23 AFCON holding in Morocco.
While Egypt are making a back-to-back appearance in the final, it is Morocco’s first since the 2011 edition.
