Morocco, the 2025 Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON) host, has revealed that nine venues will stage the upcoming tournament.
This is an increase from the earlier announced number of stadia scheduled to host the AFCON.
Initially, six stadiums from six cities were chosen, including venues in Fez, Marrakech, Casablanca, Tangier, Rabat, and Agadir.
With Rabat, the capital, now boasting three new stadiums, Moroccan media claim the tournament has reached a historic milestone with nine venues added to the list.
These include the 12,000-seat Stade Moulay Hassan, the 15,000-seat Stade al Barid, and the 15,000-seat Stade du Fath Union Sport.
The Grand Stade de Tangier, Grand Stade d’Agadir, Grand Stade de Marrakech, Mohammed V Complex in Casablanca, the Fez Sports Complex, and the state-of-the-art Moulay Abdellah Complex—the largest stadium in Rabat, are all complemented by these additional venues.
