Morocco vs Tanzania: preview
AFCON 2023 has already thrown up some massive early upsets – we're looking at you, Ghana 1-2 Cape Verde – so there's plenty of reason to watch the Morocco vs Tanzania live stream today.
Morocco have continued the impressive form that took them all the way to the 2022 World Cup semi-finals. The Atlas Lions have lost just once since Qatar – a 2-1 June 2023 reverse to South Africa in qualifying for this tournament – and have a heady mix of superb individual talent and clever tactics from manager Walid Regragui in the dugout. Achraf Hakimi is one of the world's best right-backs, with Noussair Mazraoui of Bayern Munich just as effective on the opposite flanks. Nayf Aguerd is a calming central presence while Hakim Ziyech and Youssef En-Nesyri lead a deadly forward line.
Tanzania may sit 121st in the current FIFA rankings, but there's no doubt the Taifa Stars will be inspired by the other upsets in AFCON 2023. One-time Aston Villa flop Ally Samatta, now of PAOK in Greece, is the most famous name in the squad that also includes Portsmouth defender Hai Mnoga, who has enjoyed excellent National League loan spells with Aldershot and Weymouth. If it's narrative you're after, keep an eye out for forward Ben Starkie, who has left behind seventh-tier English side Basford United to represent his country against Africa's elite.
In this guide, we explain how to get a Morocco vs Tanzania live stream today and watch the Africa Cup of Nations 2023 wherever you are.
