Real Madrid superstar Kylian Mbappe and French winger Ousmane Dembele are expected to attend the 1xBet AFCON 2025 group match between Morocco and Mali on Friday in Rabat.

The high-profile match will take place at the Prince Moulay Abdellah Stadium, which is expected to be filled with thousands of Moroccan supporters and international football fans.

According to reliable Moroccan and French media reports, both Mbappe and Dembele have accepted invitations to watch the game from the stands. Their presence is expected to add glamour and global attention to the match.

Mbappe’s attendance is strongly linked to his close friendship with Moroccan star Achraf Hakimi. Despite no longer playing together at Paris Saint-Germain, the bond between the two players remains strong.

Mbappe has consistently shown public support for Hakimi and has often praised his performances.

The French forward recently described Hakimi as the best right-back in world football and was among the first players to congratulate him after he won the African Ballon d’Or. Mbappe’s admiration for Hakimi has further fueled expectations that he will be present to support his friend and the Moroccan national team.

Hakimi has also spoken openly about the important role Mbappe played during his early days at PSG, especially when he was adjusting to life in France. He said Mbappe’s support made his transition easier, both on and off the pitch.

With Mbappe and Dembele expected in the stands, the Morocco vs Mali clash is set to become one of the most talked-about games of the AFCON group stage, drawing increased media attention and adding star power to an already exciting encounter.
