Africa-Press – Lesotho. CAF President, Dr. Patrice Motsepe has heaped praises on the Kenyan fans for turning up in large numbers throughout the TotalEnergies African Nations Championship (CHAN) tournament:
“Kenyans really love football, they really came out in large numbers to cheer their team and also other teams and those who didn’t make it to the stadium also gathered in different fan zones to watch the matches, that’s a great gesture,” said Motsepe.
Morocco secured a record third CHAN title after overcoming first-time finalists Madagascar 3-2 in a pulsating final at the Moi International Sports Centre, Kasarani, on Saturday.
The Atlas Lions, champions in 2018 and 2020, were tested to the limit by a spirited Malagasy side, but ultimately their pedigree and experience told.
Star striker Oussama Lamlaoui was once again the difference, scoring twice — including a spectacular 40-yard effort — to finish as the tournament’s top scorer with six goals. Victory earned Morocco the gold medal and USD 3.5-million prize money, while Madagascar’s gallant run ended in silver and a USD 1.2-million prize.
