Morocco’s successful organization of the Under-23 Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON) confirms the Kingdom’s readiness to host the 2025 Africa Cup of Nations, writes the Middle East News Agency (MENA).
Morocco has brilliantly organized this continental soccer event, which saw the participation of 8 national teams on the turf of Rabat’s Prince Moulay Abdellah Stadium and the Tangier’s Ibn Batouta Stadium, says the Agency, recalling that Morocco had hosted the same qualifying tournament for the Olympic Games in 2011.
Morocco, Egypt and Mali have qualified for the next Olympic Games in Paris 2024, while Guinea, 4th in the ranking, will play a play-off match against an Asian selection, the same source points out.
In the space of 5 months, Morocco has succeeded in organizing two major sporting events, namely the Club World Cup last February and the U-23 AFCON, recalls MENA.
The Kingdom continued to demonstrate its ability to organize major competitions and sporting events, as part of its ambition to host the CAN 2025, in support of its joint bid with Spain and Portugal to host the 2030 World Cup.
The Confederation of African Football (CAF) is preparing to announce the country that will host the CAN 2025, following Guinea’s withdrawal, says the news agency, believing that Morocco is the leading candidate to host the continental competition, given the confidence placed in it by CAF officials.
