Three internationally renowned artists will be in the spotlight to ignite the evening: Hatim Ammor, Gims and RedOne.
Hatim Ammor: The Moroccan star
Originally from Casablanca, Hatim Ammor is one of the most popular singers in Morocco. With a style that mixes traditional Moroccan music and modern sounds, Ammor has captured the hearts of millions of fans across the Arab world.

His stage charisma and powerful voice will make his performance a highlight of the evening. As an ambassador of Moroccan music, he will perfectly embody the spirit of the CAN, which brings together diverse nations and cultures on the same ground.
Gims: An international icon
An artist of Congolese origin, Gims is an emblematic figure of French-speaking and international music. Based in France and Morocco, he has established himself as one of the most listened to artists of his generation, thanks to albums like Subliminal and Ceinture Noire. With global hits such as Bella, Sapé comme Jam, and So far everything goes well, Gims has been able to transcend borders and musical genres. He also performed Arhbo, one of the official anthems of the FIFA World Cup Qatar 2022™, further cementing his status as a globally recognized artist.
Its participation in the CAN 2025 draw is particularly symbolic, because it highlights the importance of the African diaspora in promoting the culture and unity of the continent.

His presence will bring an international dimension to the event, reaffirming the global influence of the African Cup of Nations.
