Brahim Diaz

Brahim Diaz is a Moroccan forward who plays for Real Madrid. He gained prominence during the 2025 Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON) as a key player for the host nation, Morocco. Diaz was the tournament's top goal scorer, leading Morocco to the final. He is newsworthy due to his significant contribution to Morocco's AFCON campaign and the subsequent loss to Senegal. In the final, Senegal defeated Morocco 1-0 in extra time after a controversial match marred by on-field protests and contentious decisions. Diaz missed a penalty in the final, which was then punished by Gueye. Despite the loss, Diaz's performance throughout the tournament highlights his importance to the Moroccan national team and his potential impact on future competitions.
