Morocco to host 2025 AFCON

Morocco will host the 35th edition of the TotalEnergies CAF Africa Cup of Nations 2025, the Executive Committee has announced. 
The decision was taken during the meeting of the CAF Executive Committee on Wednesday.
The North African country will be hosting Africa’s flagship event for the second time; 35 years after the country staged the competition in 1988.
This came as a result of well co-ordinated campaign backed by good facilities and excellent organisational ability of the Kingdom of Morocco.
The north African country was a runaway favourite and as CAF President, Dr. Patrice Motsepe remarked in a post announcement conference, “it will also boost the African candidacy, which Morocco represents, in the hosting of the 2030 World Cup.
Morocco is part of the triple bid that has Spain and Portugal. So the award of 2025 Africa Cup of Nations will see the decision as a boost to their hopes of co-hosting the 2030 World Cup with Portugal and Spain.
