After agreeing to stage the two major competitions in 2025, the president of the Confederation of African Football Patrice Motsepe has heaped praises on Morocco, BSNSports.com.ng reports.

CAF on Friday during their virtual meeting announced Morocco as the host for the Women's African Cup of Nations and African Cup of Nations both in 2025.

Motsepe on Saturday morning praised the government, Football Federation and the people of Morocco for their goodwill.

 “I am confident that the AFCON Morocco 2025 will be extremely successful and will be the best AFCON in the history of this competition.” 

“I am also impressed by the enormous growth of Women’s Football in Africa and I am expecting the WAFCON Morocco 2024 to be immensely successful.”

“The announcement of the dates of the AFCON Morocco 2025 took much longer than expected, as there were complex and at times challenging discussions with various interested parties, in the light of the extensive International and Domestic Match Calendars.” 

CAF is committed to protecting and advancing the interests of African players, playing in football clubs in Europe and worldwide. CAF is also committed to building mutually beneficial relationships with the ECA, UEFA, other Football Confederations and FIFA.”

“We will continue to make significant progress in developing and ensuring that African Football is globally competitive and amongst the best in the World.”

“CAF is grateful to King Mohamed VI of Morocco, the Fédération Royale Marocaine de Football, its President Fouzi Lekjaa, the Government and people of Morocco for hosting the AFCON Morocco 2025 and the WAFCON Morocco 2024", he said.
