The team leaves behind a successful stay in Fès, where they maintained a perfect record, winning all four matches played at the Complexe Sportif de Fès – including a convincing 4-0 victory over Mozambique in the Round of 16.

With momentum on their side, the three-time African champions are wasting no time in acclimatizing to their new surroundings. The Super Eagles are scheduled to hold their first training session in Marrakech later tonight, kicking off at 6 PM local time.

The highly anticipated quarter-final against Algeria will take place on Saturday, January 10, at the iconic Stade de Marrakech.

As the Super Eagles chase a fourth AFCON title, the atmosphere is electric. Fans are rallying behind the team – this could be the start of something special.
