Egypt will face Morocco in the final of the U-23 Africa Cup of Nations (U-23 AFCON) tonight. It will be the first U-23 AFCON final between two Arabic teams.

The Egyptians are dreaming of retaining their title once again to impress their country's people.

Rogério Micale, the Coach of the Egypt U-23 football team, said, Friday, that the final won't be an easy game, however, the Egyptian team are looking forward to capturing the victory for the Egyptian people.

Micale added, during the press conference before the U-23 AFCON final, that facing Morroco will be a competitive game, but, the Egyptian team are promising and can make it.
