On Sunday, Morocco emerged as the new champions of the FIBA AfroCan tournament in Luanda, Angola after beating Cote d’Ivoire 78-76 in a largely evenly-matched encounter.
This feat has seen Morocco win their first continental trophy in basketball for the first time in 58 years.
Morocco’s amazing run at the last World Cup in Qatar is still fresh in the memories of many and they have followed with another commendable feat; winning the recently concluded U-23 AFCON.
