  • In a major boost ahead of the AFCON 2025 tournament, CAF and the Morocco Local Organising Committee have announced free electronic visas for fans travelling to the competition.

Fans travelling to the Confederation of African Football (CAF) flagship tournament — the Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON) Morocco 2025 — will now be eligible to receive free electronic visas, the organisers announced on Friday.

CAF confirmed the development in an official statement on its website, saying that supporters from countries that usually require visas to enter Morocco will now get them at no cost.

The policy comes amid surging global demand, with more fans securing seats through CAF’s online ticketing platform.
