The choice of Morocco to host the 2025 African Cup of Nations (2025 AFCON) is “great news and great pleasure for all friends of Morocco and sport”, President of the Arab World Institute (IMA), Jack Lang, said on Wednesday.
“Congratulations to Moroccan players and teams that have deservedly been awarded the organization of this major sporting event, for the second time after 1988,” Lang told MAP.
Already, during the last World Cup in Qatar, the Moroccan squad ”had established itself in the hearts of the supporters through its brilliance, strength and talent,” he pointed out.
In 2019, the Arab World Institute organized a major exhibition on football and the Arab world, and Moroccan players were honored, he recalled, adding that they will once again be “the heroes of the pitch”, during the live broadcasts of the AFCON games that the Arab World Institute will broadcast on the big screen of its square.
The Kingdom of Morocco has been unanimously designated host country of the 35th edition of the African Cup of Nations, following a meeting of the Executive Committee of the Confederation of African Football (CAF) in Cairo on Wednesday.
