The Moroccan international was a logical choice for the distinction after his strong performance in Sunday evening’s encounter, which the Atlas Lions won 2-0 as part of the opening round of the group stage at the Africa Cup of Nations Morocco 2025.
This well-deserved recognition rewards an outstanding display from Brahim Diaz, who posed constant problems for the Comorian defence throughout the match. The Atlas Lions midfielder broke the deadlock by scoring the opening goal in the 55th minute, before leaving the pitch later in the second half.
Morocco now turn their attention to the next step of their continental campaign, with a key fixture against the Mali Eagles scheduled for Friday at 21:00 (GMT+1), as part of the second round of group-stage matches. A decisive encounter in the race for qualification to the knockout phase.
