The Confederation of African Football (CAF) has decided to hold the 2025 AFCON in Morocco from December 21, 2025, to January 18, 2026.
The decision by CAF was reached after the CAF EXCO Virtual meeting yesterday, June 21, in Cairo.
The meeting was chaired by CAF President Dr. Patrice Motsepe.
He was optimistic that the next AFCON would be successful and would be the best in the history of the continental tournament.
“I am confident that the CAF TotalEnergies AFCON Morocco 2025 will be extremely successful and will be the best AFCON in the history of this competition.”
“I am also impressed by the enormous growth of Women’s Football in Africa and I am expecting the CAF TotalEnergies WAFCON Morocco 2024 to be immensely successful.”
“The announcement of the dates of the CAF TotalEnergies AFCON Morocco 2025 took much longer than expected, as there were complex and at times challenging discussions with various interested parties, in the light of the extensive International and Domestic Match Calendars.”
He assured that CAF remains committed to protecting the interests of African players, especially those who play in Europe and other leagues across the world.
He also pledged that CAF will continue to make the AFCON highly competitive and globally recognised.
“CAF is committed to protecting and advancing the interests of African players, playing in football clubs in Europe and worldwide. CAF is also committed to building mutually beneficial relationships with the ECA, UEFA, other Football Confederations and FIFA.”
“We will continue to make significant progress in developing and ensuring that African Football is globally competitive and amongst the best in the World.”
“CAF is grateful to King Mohamed VI of Morocco, the Fédération Royale Marocaine de Football, its President Fouzi Lekjaa, the Government and people of Morocco for hosting the CAF TotalEnergies AFCON Morocco 2025 and the CAF TotalEnergies WAFCON Morocco 2024.”
