Patrice Motsepe, President of the African Football Confederation, announced an unprecedented jump in ticket sales revenue during the finals of the Africa Cup of Nations Morocco 2025, recording a record compared to previous editions of the continental tournament.
Motsepe explained, during the press conference he chaired today, Saturday, that the ticket revenue for the edition held in Morocco reached $55 million and significantly exceeded what was achieved in the last edition hosted by the Ivory Coast, where ticket sales revenue did not exceed $11 million. This significant increase in revenue reflects the wide public turnout that the tournament matches witnessed in Moroccan stadiums, in addition to the quality of organization and infrastructure, which contributed to enhancing the commercial appeal of the continental competition. This achievement comes to confirm the growing status of the Africa Cup of Nations as a strong sporting and economic product, and at the same time enhances the image of Morocco as a destination capable of hosting the largest football events according to international standards.
