Mustapha Hadji believes the TotalEnergies CAF Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON), Morocco 2025 will be a major chance for his country to prove their proficiency on and off the pitch. Ahead of the Final Draw on Monday, 27 January at the Mohammed V National Theatre in Rabat at 19h00 local time (18h00 GMT/ 20h00 Cairo time), Hadji believes Morocco will be a superb host for the 24 qualified teams and adds whoever lifts the trophy, it will be hard won. A former midfielder, Hadji has experienced this competition in all its forms: the euphoria of victory, the pain of elimination, but also the pride of being at the heart of an event that brings together an entire continent. As a Moroccan, the 2025 edition of the TotalEnergies CAF AFCON, which will be held on his home soil from 21 December 2025 to 18 January 2026, takes a particularly symbolic turn for him. The former star name of Morocco’s national team remembers his first steps in this competition, but also the highlights and hardships he went through. The emotions and memories of those moments remain engraved in his mind, like the TotalEnergies CAF AFCON, which he believes is much more than just a sports tournament. It is a true cultural phenomenon that inspires and nurtures the dreams of younger generations across Africa.
