For the first time in the history of the Africa Cup of Nations, all 24 participating countries will operate from their own dedicated base camps, marking a major milestone in the evolution of the continent’s flagship football tournament, BSNSports.com.ng reports.

The landmark development represents a significant upgrade in player welfare, preparation, and overall professionalism, with each team provided access to exclusive training facilities and high-standard accommodation throughout the competition.

From modern training pitches to five-star hotels, the team-based camp arrangement is designed to create an optimal environment that allows players and technical crews to focus fully on performance on the pitch.

Host nation Morocco has been widely praised for setting a new benchmark in organisation and infrastructure, offering world-class facilities and hospitality as it prepares to welcome Africa for AFCON 2025.

With every team enjoying a home-away-from-home experience, the latest innovation underscores the Confederation of African Football’s commitment to raising standards across the tournament.

As the countdown to kickoff continues, AFCON 2025 is shaping up to be a competition defined by comfort, professionalism, and meticulous preparation further reinforcing its status as one of the world’s premier international football events.
