In the Round of 16 of the Africa Cup of Nations, Morocco and Tanzania will face each other at the Prince Moulay Abdellah Stadium in Rabat. The national teams have crossed paths at the continental championship only once before, at the previous tournament. Back then, in the group stage, Morocco recorded a convincing 3-0 victory in San-Pédro. Overall, in the 21st century, the opponents have met eight times. Tanzania has suffered seven defeats in those encounters and in five cases failed to score a single goal. The only success for the Tanzanian side came in a home match of the 2014 World Cup qualification, when it won 3-1. The upcoming clash will be a serious test for both sides on the road to the next stage of the playoffs.
