The Moroccan Federation has confirmed its intention to organize the CAN 2025 in summer and not in winter.
The African Cup of Nations 2023 approaches its term, and we do not yet know precisely when the next edition of the competition will take place. But we know the preference of the host country. In the press release formalizing the renewal of Walid Regragui as coach, the Moroccan Football Federation spoke of the preparation of this “African Cup of Nations that should house Morocco, next year in summer …”
Historically disputed in January, the CAN was moved in summer in 2019, so as not to encroach on club competitions. But during the last two editions, for climatic reasons, the competition was organized in winter, in Cameroon and then in Côte d’Ivoire. Morocco therefore hopes to organize its CAN in June-July 2025, not in January 2025 or January 2026.
