The Economic Community of West African States (ECOWAS) has publicly expressed its strong support for the ongoing TotalEnergies CAF Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON) 2025, describing the tournament as a powerful emblem of African unity, cultural pride and continental integration.

In a goodwill message, the regional body applauded AFCON not only for the high level of football on display but also for its ability to unite millions of Africans across borders, languages and traditions through a shared love for the game.

“ECOWAS supports the Africa Cup of Nations, AFCON 2025, as a true symbol of integration and the coming together of African cultures and people,” the statement read.
