The 2025 Africa Cup of Nations kicks off on December 21, featuring hosts Morocco facing Comoros and defending champions Ivory Coast taking on Mozambique. Held in six cities, this tournament marks a significant prelude to Morocco's co-hosting duties for the 2030 World Cup. The competition's structure allows the top teams to progress into the knockout rounds, with expectations high for nations like Egypt and Senegal, as players also prepare for the upcoming 2026 World Cup.
Ivory Coast will begin the defence of their Africa Cup of Nations title against Mozambique, while hosts Morocco open the tournament against the Comoros Islands on Dec. 21.
The tournament will be the biggest soccer event in Morocco before co-hosting the 2030 World Cup with Spain and Portugal, after Morocco's historic semifinal run in 2022.
