Morocco Set to Host 'Successful' AFCON in 2025
Morocco is gearing up to host the highly anticipated 2025 Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON), with the Confederation of African Football (CAF) President, Patrice Motsepe, expressing confidence in the country's ability to deliver a stellar tournament. Speaking at a press conference in Abidjan prior to the AFCON 2023 final, Motsepe lauded Morocco's infrastructure and organizational prowess, foreseeing a tournament that will exceed expectations and showcase the best of African football.
"Morocco is well-positioned to deliver an excellent AFCON in 2025," declared Motsepe, emphasizing the nation's proven track record and capabilities. "I have no doubt it will be a very high-quality tournament that truly celebrates African football."
While specific details regarding the tournament format and dates are yet to be finalized post-AFCON 2023, Motsepe showered praise on Morocco's readiness to host. "Africa takes pride in entrusting Morocco with the honor of hosting our flagship competition. They will undoubtedly ensure its resounding success," he affirmed.
Motsepe also took the opportunity to commend the performances of African nations at the recent FIFA World Cup in Qatar, highlighting the impressive displays of teams like Senegal, Morocco, Cameroon, Tunisia, and Ghana. These achievements, according to Motsepe, instill confidence and anticipation for the future of African football on the global stage. "Their accomplishments filled us all with pride. I anticipate they will continue to build on this momentum in the years to come," he remarked.
If the successful hosting of AFCON 2025 contributes to advancing football development across the continent, as desired by Motsepe, Morocco's stewardship of the tournament promises long-term dividends for African soccer.
