Futsal AFCON 2026: Group A Goes Down to the Wire — Morocco vs Libya, Zambia vs Algeria Tonight

Group A comes to a boiling point tonight. Morocco — already through to the semifinals — close their group campaign against Libya, while Zambia and Algeria face off in a straight fight for the second knockout spot. Both matches kick off at 8:00 PM local time in Rabat.

The hosts have been flawless. Hicham Dguig’s side opened with a 4-0 win over Algeria and then dismantled Zambia 7-0 — eleven goals scored, none conceded, and a semifinal place already secured. Tonight is about keeping the rhythm before the knockouts begin.

Libya Need a Miracle in Rabat

Libya are on life support. A point from two games (a 3-1 defeat to Zambia followed by a 2-2 draw with Algeria) means only a famous win over the three-time defending champions keeps their tournament alive — and even then, they need help from the other game.

Zambia Hold Their Own Fate

It’s simpler for Zambia and Algeria at the Salle Ibn Yassine. Zambia, who beat Libya 3-1 in their opener, go through with a win or a draw. Algeria — the tournament debutants who grabbed a historic first point against Libya — must win, and then hope the maths breaks their way.

One semifinal spot, two games, ninety minutes of futsal to decide it. Group A has been the tournament’s tightest battle behind the untouchable hosts — and tonight it all comes down to the wire.
