Cameroon and Morocco will meet in the quarter-finals of the TotalEnergies CAF Africa Cup of Nations 2025 in what promises to be a compelling showdown at the Stade Moulay Abdellah in Rabat. The fixture carries a rich history and a fascinating set of records that add extra spice to the encounter.
Morocco have been unstoppable at home in official competitions, remaining unbeaten in their last 37 matches on home soil (32 wins, 5 draws) since a defeat to Cameroon on November 14, 2009. That rare loss serves as a reminder that the Indomitable Lions are capable of defying the odds even in the fortress of the Atlas Lions.
Cameroon, for their part, boast a remarkable record against Morocco in Africa Cup of Nations history, never having lost to them (3 wins, 1 draw). One of the most memorable meetings came in the 1988 AFCON semi-finals, when Cameroon eliminated the host nation with a 1–0 victory, proving that the Lions have long been able to rise to the occasion on Moroccan soil.
This quarter-final clash will therefore not only be a battle of current form but also a continuation of a historical rivalry. Cameroon will aim to maintain their unbeaten AFCON record against Morocco, while the Atlas Lions will look to extend their formidable home streak and finally avenge past disappointments.
With both sides boasting a mix of youth and experience, and key players such as Carlos Baleba for Cameroon and Morocco’s own stars in peak form, fans can expect a high-stakes, tactical, and fiercely contested encounter.
