00:00I'm here at Royal Air Morocco's Fan Activation at Mohamed V Stadium in Casablanca,
00:14where football meets Moroccan culture.
00:17Games, challenges, fans are right in it.
00:20And that energy is spilling straight into AFCON 2025.
00:24Match Day 2 of the group stage rolled on yesterday,
00:27with four matches across Groups E and F.
00:30as teams pushed to strengthen their knockout hopes.
00:35In Group E, Sudan faced Equatorial Guinea in a crucial encounter here in Casablanca,
00:41with both sides coming off opening defeats.
00:45With knockout hopes on the line, the stakes were high,
00:49and the atmosphere in the stands reflected it.
00:51Sudan edged a 1-0 victory, giving supporters back home something badly needed to celebrate.
01:04Our players are their best.
01:07They're doing their best with the things that we have in our country.
01:11The mid-war we're going through.
01:13We're from Sudan. We support our team Sudanese,
01:15and we hope to make it to the final, semi-final.
01:17And, I mean, we're so proud of our team to be here in Morocco.
01:22I hope to reach the final.
01:24Elsewhere in Group E, Algeria beat Burkina Faso to secure top spot
01:31and confirm their place in the knockout round.
01:36In Group F, one of the tournament's most anticipated clashes
01:40saw Coup d'Ivoire face Cameroon.
01:44The heavyweight encounter lived up to its hype,
01:47with both sides fighting out a 1-1 draw.
01:56Here in Morocco, match day two is complete.
01:59The group stage is tightening.
02:01The final round is coming.
02:03The last chance for teams to book their place in the knockouts.
02:07We are very confident that, again, like all the other African Cups
02:11will have surprises, and there is not a big team,
02:14there's no small team, so hopefully the small teams,
02:17this time they will win it.
02:18Our national team can qualify because of the quality of our players
02:23and the spirit that they have in the pitch.
02:27AFCON 2025 isn't just in the stadium.
02:30From streets and plazas to the Atlantic coast,
02:33Casablanca thrives with football, music, and culture
02:37as the tournament edges closer to the knockout phase.
02:43Margins are fine, pressure is on,
02:47and AFCON 2025 heats up from here.
02:50Fly for the passion of football.
