Futsal AFCON 2026 Final: Morocco vs Angola — Date, Time & Preview

The Futsal AFCON 2026 final is set: hosts Morocco will face Angola at the Prince Moulay Abdellah Sports Hall in Rabat on Wednesday, October 21, with kickoff at 8 PM local time. Earlier in the day, Algeria and Egypt meet in the third-place match at 5 PM.

It is a rematch of the 2024 final in the same city, where Morocco beat Angola 5-1 — but this Angola side has shown serious fight in Rabat, twice coming back from two goals down in this tournament.

The matchup

Morocco are chasing an unprecedented fourth straight Futsal AFCON title after lifting the trophy in 2016, 2020 and 2024. Their road to the final has been perfect: 4-0 over Algeria, 7-0 over Zambia, 6-0 over Libya and 6-0 over Egypt — 23 goals scored and none conceded. Keep another clean sheet and they become the first team ever to complete an entire edition without conceding.

Angola are the comeback kings of this tournament. They trailed Egypt 2-0 in the group finale and won 4-2, then repeated the trick against Algeria in the semifinal to win 3-2. Joao Cambangula leads the tournament scoring charts with seven goals, and Angola’s rotations show why understanding futsal positions matters at this level.

What to watch

Can Angola’s never-say-die spirit finally crack the Moroccan machine that has dominated African futsal for a decade? The hosts are also the continent’s highest side in the FIFA futsal rankings, and their home crowd in Rabat will be a factor.

Angola’s best hope is another fast start and testing Morocco’s goalkeeper early — something no team has managed to exploit yet. Either way, Wednesday night should deliver a fitting end to a memorable tournament.

Third-place match: Algeria vs Egypt, 5 PM local, Wednesday October 21. Final: Morocco vs Angola, 8 PM local, Wednesday October 21 — both at the Prince Moulay Abdellah Sports Hall, Rabat.
