The finale concert comes days after Morocco eliminated Nigeria from the tournament.
On Wednesday night, the hosts beat the Super Eagles 4–2 on penalties after a goalless 120 minutes in their semi-final in Rabat.
Goalkeeper Stanley Nwabali saved one penalty, but misses from Samuel Chukwueze and Bruno Onyemaechi proved decisive. Youssef En-Nesyri scored the winning kick.
