The clock is ticking, and the excitement is building. In exactly 100 days, the TotalEnergies CAF Africa Cup of Nations 2025 will roar to life in Morocco, promising a festival of football that will unite the continent and captivate the world.

This December, Africa’s biggest sporting spectacle returns with the promise of being even bigger than the record-breaking 2023 edition in Côte d’Ivoire, which drew more than 1.5 billion television viewers and over 2.4 billion digital streams worldwide.

For Morocco, the tournament carries a special significance. The Kingdom will host the finals for the first time since 1988, with matches spread across nine stadiums in six iconic cities — Rabat, Casablanca, Fès, Tangier, Marrakech, and Agadir. Fans can expect a blend of world-class facilities, electrifying football, and the warm hospitality for which the nation is known.

The timing could not be more fitting. Morocco recently showcased its organizational excellence by hosting the 2024 Women’s AFCON and the 2025 U-17 AFCON, setting the stage for an even grander event. With the 2030 FIFA World Cup — to be co-hosted with Spain and Portugal — also on the horizon, Morocco has firmly established itself as a global hub of football.

From 21 December 2025 to 18 January 2026, 24 nations will battle for glory, with defending champions Côte d’Ivoire eager to retain their crown in the tournament’s 35th edition. For fans, it will be a journey of passion, pride, and unforgettable moments as African football writes another historic chapter.
