Lesotho - Morocco

Lesotho and Morocco meet on 29 September 2026 for matchday 2 of the Africa Cup of Nations qualification group stage. Lesotho enter this contest looking to recover after a 2-1 defeat against Niger in their opening group fixture. Meanwhile, Morocco arrive with momentum following a comfortable 2-0 victory over Gabon, a result that highlights the visitors' clinical approach to the early stages of this campaign.

The two sides share a recent history in this competition, having faced each other twice during the 2024 qualification cycle. Morocco secured a narrow 1-0 win when they last visited Lesotho in September 2024, before recording a comprehensive 7-0 victory later that November. As Lesotho host the visitors for this latest encounter, the focus shifts to whether they can find a way to contain a potent Moroccan side or if the visitors will maintain their established dominance in this head-to-head series.
