⚙️ Tactical Profile

The 2022 semi-finalists, evolved. The tournament formula is unchanged — a disciplined block that morphs from 4-3-3 into 5-4-1, with Hakimi's surges igniting lethal counters — but Brahim Diaz and a deeper attacking cast now give them answers when teams sit off. AFCON champions with a settled core.

🔮 Expectations

Widely rated the best side from outside Europe and South America, full stop. At home the ambition is stated openly: go further than 2022. The group-stage meeting with Brazil for first place is one of the draws of the round.
