The Confederation of African Football (CAF) unveiled on Wednesday the new trophy and logo for the Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON) U17, scheduled to take place from March 30 to April 19 in Morocco.
The launch marks a key moment in the celebration of the beginning of the journey of the young African football talents who will be taking part in this prestigious tournament, CAF says in a press release published on its website.
The concept of the new trophy is “Journey Begins”, embodies the ambition, growth and early steps towards a “legendary” future for these players, CAF explains.
It features a road-shaped structure symbolizing the player’s path, integrated with the map of Africa, echoing the continent’s pride and unity, the same source adds.
As for the logo design, it mirrors the shape of the new AFCON U17 trophy, including its base which illustrates the structure, guidance and support provided by CAF and underlines its pivotal role in nurturing the next generation of African football stars.
A path shaped by passion, with a new identity and renewed energy, the African football body concludes.
The AFCON U17 – Morocco 2025 will also serve as a qualifying tournament for the World Cup. Africa will be represented by ten teams at this newly expanded edition, to be held in Qatar later this year.
