The upcoming Africa Cup of Nations in Morocco is on track to become the most profitable edition in the tournament’s history.
Reports indicate that CAF has already generated nearly €300 million from sponsorships and ticket sales — a figure equal to the combined revenue of the last four AFCON tournaments.
This surge reflects growing global interest in African football, driven by stronger commercial partnerships, expanded broadcast deals, and high ticket demand following the tournament’s return to North Africa. 
CAF officials are expected to make a formal announcement soon, with insiders calling it a “historic milestone” for African football.
The 2025 AFCON kicks off in December in Morocco.
