The competition will be played across multiple modern venues in key Moroccan cities, showcasing the country’s world-class football infrastructure and readiness to host major international events.
Among the confirmed venues is the Stade Mohammed V in Casablanca, one of Africa’s most iconic stadiums, which is expected to host high-profile group matches and knockout-stage fixtures. The Prince Moulay Abdellah Stadium in Rabat, the nation’s capital, is also set to play a central role, with expectations that it will host either the opening match or the final.
The Ibn Battouta Stadium in Tangier, the largest stadium in Morocco by capacity, has also been selected, offering a state-of-the-art facility capable of hosting major AFCON clashes. Other approved venues include the Marrakech Stadium, Adrar Stadium in Agadir, and the Fez Sports Complex, ensuring nationwide representation and smooth logistics throughout the tournament.
CAF President Dr. Patrice Motsepe has previously praised Morocco’s strong hosting credentials, citing its modern stadiums, efficient transport systems, and proven experience in staging major football tournaments.
AFCON 2025 is expected to attract millions of viewers across Africa and beyond, with the tournament serving as a celebration of African football talent, culture, and unity.
