Morocco has mobilized all the logistical conditions to ensure the success of the Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON 2025), said on Monday in Rabat, Fouzi Lekjaa, President of the Royal Moroccan Football Federation (FRMF).

The Kingdom has provided the necessary means for the success of this edition, whether in terms of infrastructure, stadiums, training grounds or other logistical aspects linked to this competition, said Lekjaa at the AFCON 2025 draw ceremony, held at Rabat’s Mohammed V theater.

Fans will find the optimal conditions to meet their needs during this competition, which will be an opportunity to sow joy and consolidate the bridges of friendship between African peoples, he added, noting that the success of 2025 AFCON will be the first step towards to the success of the 2030 World Cup.

The organization of the African Cup is personally overseen by His Majesty King Mohammed VI, which reflects the Sovereign’s high regard for sports activities in general and the prominent role that the African dimension holds in the Royal Vision, he underlined.

Thanking the African leaders for entrusting Morocco with the organization of this major African soccer event, Lekjaa noted that this is a challenge that the Kingdom had taken up with seriousness and commitment.

Morocco has always been linked to African countries on commercial, civilizational, intellectual, scientific and artistic levels, he stressed, noting that the organization of the AFCON 2025 provides an opportunity to reiterate the Kingdom’s commitment, under the wise leadership of HM King Mohammed VI, to its African brothers, to forge ahead towards a common future in sport and development.

He also pointed out that the organization of this competition is part of the natural continuity of a long shared history, adding that Morocco has succeeded, in collaboration with its African brothers, in shaping a shared heritage and intertwined identities, and in writing pages of support and collaboration, particularly during the struggle for freedom and independence.

The AFCON 2025 finals will take place from December 21 to January 18, 2026.
