With nearly 100,000 jobs created and a 1.8-fold return on revenues and investments, AFCON 2025 allowed Morocco to demonstrate its organizational strength while generating significant economic spillovers across key development sectors, according to Minister Ryad Mezzour.
While torrential rains have forced the cancellation of the Arab Cup ranking match in Qatar, as well as several sporting events in the United States, the schedule of the Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON 2025) in Morocco has remained unchanged, despite persistent daily downpours. The group-stage matches have highlighted another key factor behind this resilience: the quality of the tournament’s infrastructure.
