In this episode of Through a Different Lens, hosts Joe and Jacob take you inside Tangier, Morocco, as they experience the African Cup of Nations (AFCON) firsthand.

From the electric streets to packed stadiums, the guys break down the unique atmosphere surrounding AFCON, the passion of Moroccan fans, and the impressive infrastructure that’s helping reshape African football’s global image.

The conversation turns to the AFCON semi-finals, where Senegal overcame Egypt and Morocco defeated Nigeria, setting up a mouth-watering final. Joe and Jacob analyze both sides — Senegal’s star power led by Sadio Mané versus Morocco’s unity, structure, and tactical discipline, featuring players like Achraf Hakimi.

Beyond the pitch, they reflect on Morocco’s footballing journey, the cultural pride attached to the game, and what this tournament means for African football’s future. The episode closes with final predictions, differing opinions, and a debate on the legacy of AFCON icons and what this era will be remembered for.
