CAF President Announces Morocco as AFCON 2025 Host Amid Civil Unrest
CAF President Patrice Motsepe announced Morocco as the host of the AFCON 2025 amid civil unrest. Two lives were lost as security forces clashed with protesters in Lqliaa Agadir.
The protests were triggered by government decisions to prioritize building a new stadium over public infrastructure. Morocco's high youth unemployment rate, especially among graduates, fueled the anger.
Motsepe assured collaboration with Moroccan authorities for a successful tournament from December 21 to January 18. The situation highlighted the country's challenges despite hosting major football events.
