Morocco’s Interior Ministry convened a coordination meeting last Wednesday to assess progress on preparations for the 2025 Africa Cup of Nations, bringing together Interior Minister Abdelouafi Laftit, local organising committee president Fouzi Lekjaa and the walis of the six host cities, who joined via videoconference.

Officials presented an updated briefing on the state of works across priority sectors, including transport networks, mobility planning, fan zones in major urban centres and upgrades to areas surrounding stadiums. According to information shared with Hesport, the presentation indicated that construction and logistical arrangements are advancing at a satisfactory pace.

Participants stressed that the tournament will showcase Morocco’s capacity to mobilise institutional expertise and operational resources to deliver a continental event to global standards. The meeting underlined that the competition represents an opportunity to demonstrate what African countries can achieve when high levels of ambition and coordination are applied to a major sporting event.

Authorities highlighted that Morocco’s modern infrastructure, service quality and organisational discipline underpin its readiness to host the tournament. They added that ongoing preparations reflect an effort to position the event as a model for the continent and a demonstration of Africa’s ability to meet the requirements of large-scale international competitions.
