Next month’s Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON) Morocco 2025 is already shaping up to be one of the most anticipated sporting events on the continent, with strong global ticket sales reported in the first two phases of release.
According to figures from the Confederation of African Football (CAF), fans from across the world have rushed to secure their seats for Africa’s premier football competition, which will take place in nine stadiums across six host cities from 21 December 2025 to 18 January 2026.
While ticket demand has been high across Africa, France has emerged as the leading market outside the continent, with an impressive 109,237 tickets sold so far — a figure that underscores the country’s deep-rooted connection to African football. Belgium (7,046) and the Netherlands (5,958) round out the top three, followed by the United Kingdom (5,127) and Canada (3,849).
The rest of the top ten includes Germany (3,056), Switzerland (1,714), the United States (1,245), Spain (1,193) and Italy (970).
CAF officials said the global enthusiasm demonstrates the event’s growing international appeal. “Fans from around the world are eager to be part of one of football’s most vibrant and celebrated tournaments,” the organization said in a statement.
