“AFCON has increased its prize money, CAF has increased its prize money under Patrice Motsepe, more competitions are coming, the 2025 AFCON was well organized, kudos to Morocco for their structure.

“Nigeria, we went there with a lot of rules; there were able to be beaten even though a lot of us were very skeptical. I think the coach Eric Chelle has done so well and deserves to be praised.”
Morocco invested approximately €2.3 billion (around $2.4 billion or MAD 24.8 billion) in infrastructure for the AFCON 2025 tournament and utilized nine stadiums across six cities.
