Yassine Bounou, reigning CAF goalkepeer of the year has been named the Best Goalkeeper of the Africa Cup of Nations Morocco 2025, claiming the Golden Glove after a standout campaign between the posts for the Atlas Lions.
The Moroccan number one was a picture of consistency throughout the tournament, keeping five clean sheets in seven matches, the joint-highest tally alongside Senegal’s Édouard Mendy. His authority and calm presence anchored a Moroccan defence that conceded just two goals on their impressive march to the final.
Yassine Bounou’s tournament was defined by big moments. From instinctive reflex saves in tight knockout encounters to a commanding display in the semi-final, the experienced shot-stopper repeatedly tilted matches in Morocco’s favour. His positioning, leadership and composure under pressure proved invaluable as the hosts navigated the toughest stages of the competition.
Although Morocco fell narrowly to Senegal in a dramatic 1–0 extra-time final defeat, Bounou’s influence across the tournament was unmistakable and ultimately decisive in securing the individual honour.
