The Cotonou–Rabat “Destination Morocco 2025: Land of Football” road trip experienced a powerful moment during its stop in Mauritania, combining human resilience and football diplomacy. At the Mauritania–Morocco border, the delegation met Beninese walker Sylvain Bossouvi, who is undertaking an exceptional walking challenge from Cotonou to Rabat. The exchange focused on the physical and mental challenges of his journey.
The caravan also paid a visit to the Mauritanian Football Federation, where inspiring discussions took place on football as a driver of African unity, cooperation, and the shared excitement ahead of AFCON 2025 in Morocco. This stage perfectly reflects the spirit of the road trip: solidarity, resilience, and a shared African vision through football.
