For the first time in Africa Cup of Nations history, the 2025 edition in Morocco will feature 24 base camps for participating teams, setting a new standard in preparation, logistics, and sporting fairness. Spanning multiple cities across the Kingdom, these state-of-the-art facilities aim to optimize training conditions, enhance team performance, and streamline tournament organization.
Each of the 24 qualified teams will have an official base camp, comprising dedicated accommodation and a training center. Spread across various cities of the Kingdom, these camps were selected according to strict criteria set by the Confederation of African Football (CAF), notably in terms of infrastructure quality, accessibility, security, and proximity to host stadiums.
By benefiting from modern training facilities reserved exclusively for their use, national teams will be able to prepare for their matches under comparable conditions, promoting physical recovery, team cohesion, and players’ mental well-being. This structured framework also helps limit travel-related constraints, often cited as a source of fatigue in previous editions.
Beyond the sporting aspect, base camps play a central role in the logistical organization of AFCON 2025. They allow for better planning of team movements, effective coordination with local authorities, and optimal management of flows for both delegations and security services. This approach helps streamline the conduct of the tournament and ensure compliance with international standards.
The establishment of 24 base camps also reflects Morocco’s ambition to make AFCON 2025 a benchmark edition. The infrastructures mobilized, namely stadiums, sports complexes, hotels, and preparation center, are part of a dynamic of sustainable development and territorial enhancement.
Morocco and CAF aim to strengthen the credibility and attractiveness of AFCON, both among football stakeholders and with the public and institutional partners and the base camps are becoming a symbol of a better organized, fairer, and more professional AFCON.
