After his decisive performance for the Moroccan national team in the 2025 African Cup of Nations qualifiers, he received a lot of support and recognition, which is proof that he is experiencing a great moment.

Morocco defeated Tanzania in a hard-fought 1-0, allowing them to advance to the quarterfinals of AFCON 2025. The only goal of the match came in the 64th minute, giving Real Madrid the victory. Brahim Dias came on at the right time to break the deadlock and unleash a celebratory mood in Rabat.
The home team dominated most of the match, but faced a well-organized and combative Tanzanian defense. It was only in the second half that Dias took advantage of a move set up by Achraf Hakimi and finished with precision, giving Atlas Lions some relief.

Although the win left a positive feeling, it wasn’t all good news for the home team. Midfielder Azzedine Ounahi has been ruled out for the remainder of the game with a calf injury, a major blow for coach Walid Reglagui.
Still, Morocco’s aspirations remain intact. With Brahim Diaz as their attacking leader, the team will face Cameroon next Friday in January with the aim of advancing to the semi-finals.
