Meanwhile, these three games have only produced three goals.<\/p>\n \u25cf\u00a0This is Morocco\u2019s 18th participation in the Africa Cup of Nations \u2013 their only title dates back to 1976 and the only time they\u2019ve reached the final since then was in 2004, losing 2-1 against hosts Tunisia. 2004 was also the last time they made it past the quarter-finals.<\/p>\n \u25cf\u00a0Morocco conceded only one goal in six games during qualifying for the 2021 Africa Cup of Nations, the lowest tally of the 24 teams at this year\u2019s tournament.<\/p>\n \u25cf\u00a0This is Ghana\u2019s 23rd appearance in the Africa Cup of Nations, the most after Egypt (25) and Cote d’Ivoire (24). The Black Stars won the Africa Cup of Nations in four of their first seven appearances (1963, 1965, 1978, 1982) but have won none of their subsequent 15. They have nevertheless reached the semi-finals in six of the last seven editions, more than any other team over that period.<\/p>\n \u25cf\u00a0Ghana\u2019s match against Morocco will be their 100th in the Africa Cup of Nations. The Black Stars join Egypt as the only teams to reach that landmark.<\/p>\n \u25cf\u00a0Since 2008, Ghana\u2019s Andr\u00e9 Ayew has played more minutes (2,474) than any other player in the Africa Cup of Nations.
