Supporters heading to the Africa Cup final between Morocco and Senegal are being advised to dress warmly, with temperatures expected to drop sharply around kick-off.
The match will be played in noticeably colder conditions than many fans are used to, and forecasts point to a chilly evening at the stadium. As the sun goes down, the temperature is set to fall further, making a thick coat a sensible choice for anyone attending.
Organisers and local authorities have also warned that the cold could be felt even more inside the venue, especially with wind and long periods of sitting still in the stands. Fans are being encouraged to plan ahead with warm clothing for the full duration of the final.
The key message is clear: while Morocco and Senegal will be battling for the trophy on the pitch, the weather will be another factor in the stands, and spectators should be prepared for a cold night.
