The Moroccan organizing committee for the 2025 Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON) have agreed to allow fans to enter certain matches free of charge.
The measure was notably applied on Wednesday evening at Agadir’s Grand Stade, during the Cameroon-Gabon match.
Fullview learnt that organisers, in agreement with African football’s governing body, will allow fans to enter without paying.
Filling stadiums is an important issue for Cup of Nations organisers in Morocco, for which a successful hosting of the tournament is key as it builds towards the 2030 World Cup to be jointly held in the North African country, Spain and Portugal.
CAF’s official ticketing platform on Thursday showed seats available for almost all remaining group matches for prices starting at 100 dirhams ($10.96).
The only matches shown as sell-outs were hosts Morocco’s games against Mali on Friday and Zambia on Monday, as well as Algeria against Burkina Faso on Sunday.
