AFCON: French stars Mbappé, Dembélé to storm Morocco on Friday
French superstars Kylian Mbappé and Ousmane Dembélé are set to arrive in Morocco on Friday as the second round of matches at the 2025 Africa Cup of Nations gets underway.
The duo of Real Madrid forward Mbappé and Paris Saint-Germain (PSG) winger Dembélé are expected in the host nation to lend their support to close friend Achraf Hakimi.
Hakimi, who has just recovered, may play a part in the game when the Atlas Lions of Morocco take on Mali in a crucial group-stage encounter, with the hosts aiming to maintain momentum in the tournament.
The presence of Mbappé and Dembélé is likely to further energise the atmosphere around the Moroccan camp, as fans eagerly anticipate another strong showing from Hakimi and his teammates on home soil.
