Morocco has reported €1.5 billion in revenues from hosting the 2025 Africa Cup of Nations, according to official figures released by the government on January 26, 2025.
The tournament, held from December 21 to January 18, marked the 35th edition of AFCON and generated significant income through sponsorship deals and ticket sales. Prior to the opening match, revenues had already reached €300 million, a record equal to the combined total of the previous four editions.
Authorities attribute these results to a high-level organizational framework and modern infrastructure meeting international standards.
However, revenues do not equate to net profit. The Moroccan government invested €2.3 billion in stadium renovations, road networks and airport upgrades, including the Prince Moulay Abdellah Stadium, which hosted the opening match and the final.
As a result, the event shows an estimated temporary deficit of €800 million, which officials expect to offset in the long term, particularly ahead of the 2030 FIFA World Cup.
