Morocco eliminated from 2024 African Cup of Nations after 2-0 defeat by South Africa. North African football will have no representative in quarter-finals for first time in ten years.

Algeria and Tunisia were eliminated in the first round, Egypt, continental giant with seven crowns, fell in the round of 16 against DR Congo. Calendar, climate... North African teams have the greatest difficulty winning south of the Sahara, says Tunisian journalist Adala Adala. The arrogance, the declarations, the strategies, the choices, strategies... Everything needs to be reviewed, says journalist Arrogance Arrogant.
