AFCON 2025: Four countries with the best defense confirmed

The four countries with the best defense during the 2025 Africa Cup of Nations, AFCON, tournament in Morocco have been confirmed.

Recall that the 2025 AFCON was recently concluded in Morocco last Sunday.

Senegal was crowned champions after beating the Atlas Lions 1-0 in the AFCON final, thanks to Pape Gueye’s only goal of the encounter.

However, in a post on CAF’s website, the countries with the best defense are Morocco, Comoros, DR Congo and Senegal.

The four teams conceded only two goals each during the tournament.

Morocco and Senegal reached the AFCON final, while DR Congo was eliminated from the tournament in the Round of 16 at the hands of Algeria.

Comoros, meanwhile, could not make it out from the group stage as they crashed out after recording only two points from three matches in Group A.
