3 prediction markets price this story:

Morocco — the market puts it at 29%, closing 3 Aug 2027. The market resolves to Yes if Morocco wins the 2027 Men's Africa Cup of Nations. It resolves to No if any other team wins that tournament. Readers often mistake the linked news story about appointing a prime minister as relevant, but only the football championship result matters.
Will Morocco win AFCON 2027 qualifying Group A? — the market puts it at 88%, with $1k traded in the last 24 hours, closing 31 Mar 2027. Morocco must finish first in Group A of the 2027 Africa Cup of Nations qualifying standings to trigger the "Yes" outcome. If another team wins the group, or if CAF declares a different winner via tiebreakers, the market resolves to "No." Readers often mistake the CAS hearing about Senegal for a resolution event, but only the final qualifying group results matter.
Morocco — the market puts it at 3%, closing 15 Jan 2031. The market resolves to Yes if Morocco wins the 2030 FIFA Men's World Cup. It resolves to No if any other team wins that tournament. Readers often mistake the election headline for the resolution criteria, but only the World Cup result matters.
