Morocco clinched the U-17 Africa Cup of Nations title after a dramatic penalty shootout victory over Mali (4-0), following a goalless draw in regular time. The Aiglons, champions in 2015 and 2017, had a goal disallowed due to a handball. Despite numerous chances from both sides, the score remained level throughout the match. Moroccan goalkeeper Chouaïb Belaarouch was instrumental in keeping his team in the game, making several crucial saves. At the end of the final, Belaarouch was named Man of the Match and later received the Golden Glove award during the medal ceremony. Ouazzane was honored with the Best Player of the Tournament award.
