Morocco is emerging as a true African football powerhouse, hosting AFCON 2025 on home soil while looking ahead to a bigger role at the 2030 World Cup.
AFCON 2025 in Morocco: more than just a tournament

Sports analysts and international media outlets have hailed Morocco’s AFCON as a benchmark for African football, highlighting the quality of stadiums and transport, as well as the overall fan experience.

Historic FIFA ranking and on‑field progress
On the pitch, Morocco’s progress is reflected in a historic jump into the top 10 of the FIFA world rankings, the highest position ever achieved by an African team. Consistent AFCON runs and a deep World Cup campaign have shown that the Atlas Lions can compete with the world’s best, not just on isolated occasions but over several cycles.
Long‑term project: infrastructure and talent development.
Behind the results stands a long‑term project based on state‑of‑the‑art facilities, elite academies, and structured youth development. This approach is designed to sustain Morocco’s presence at the top level, ensuring that AFCON performances and World Cup appearances are part of a continuous trajectory rather than one‑off peaks.

From AFCON 2025 to the 2030 World Cup stage
With AFCON 2025 at home and a shared World Cup 2030 on the horizon, Morocco sits at a strategic crossroads for both African and global football. If the country can maintain its sporting level and organizational excellence, it has a real chance to redefine what an African football nation can achieve on the world stage.
