Morocco will sharpen up for their dead rubber AFCON qualifier against Bafana Bafana with a contest against Cape Verde tonight as they continue to quench the thirst of their fans post their World Cup success.
The Atlas Lions were the first African country to ever reach the semi-finals of the World Cup after overcoming Spain and Portugal in the knockout stages.

That miraculous run has meant they now sit in position 11 on the FIFA rankings and are the best team on the continent ahead of Senegal.
Since the World Cup in December last year, they have gone on to beat Brazil 2-1 in a friendly match before the drew with Peru.
Monday night's fixture against the Atlantic Ocean islanders takes place at the Stade Moulay Abdellah in Rabat.
The Cape Verdeans are ranked just five places below Bafana Bafana on the FIFA rankings and will seal their qualification for the AFCON finals with a home win over already-qualified Burkina Faso on Sunday at home.
Saturday's match against Bafana is the first competitive official match that the Atlas Lions will play since the World Cup third-place play-offs defeat to Croatia.
Both Bafana and the Atlas Lions are already through from Group K so the fixture will have no significance in determining any important business.
