Morocco became the first nation to claim a back to back African Nations Championship (CHAN) title with a hard fought 2-0 victory over Mali on Sundayโs final at Ahmadou Ahidjo Stadium in Yaounde Cameroon.

Morocco’s Soufiane Rahimi who pulled off some stunning performances throughout the competition was a big winner as he was voted man of the competition and the tournament’s top goal scorer with five goals.
Goalkeeper Anas Rahimi claimed man of the match award and was also voted goalkeeper of the tournament.
