However, Saturday's match between Morocco and Liberia in Agadir, some 260km away from the quake epicentre, has been postponed.
The Congo and Gambia squads spent the night sleeping beside their respective hotel pools after the magnitude 7.2 quake that struck in Morocco's High Atlas mountains and damaged buildings in nearby Marrakech.
The coaches of both teams said their players had been traumatised by the event but had been told they must go ahead with their match.
Sunday’s Group G decider between Gambia and Congo is being played in Marrakech because Gambia do not have a suitable stadium for hosting international matches.
“We have been told our match on Sunday must go ahead.
