Morocco to Offer Free E-Visas for 2025 Africa Cup of Nations Supporters
In a move set to welcome the world to African football’s grandest stage, the Local Organizing Committee for the 2025 Africa Cup of Nations (CLOCAN) has announced that electronic visas for entry into Morocco will be provided free of charge to all supporters. The landmark decision, revealed on Tuesday, November 11th, is designed to tear down barriers and facilitate the arrival of fans from across the continent and the globe.
A Seamless Digital Gateway for Fans
The entire application process for the free visa is managed through the official Yalla app, the dedicated platform created to handle all AFCON supporter logistics. This integrated system doesn’t just grant entry into the country; it simultaneously generates a mandatory FAN ID, a digital pass required for access to any stadium during the tournament.
All procedures are consolidated on the official website, www.yallamorocco.ma. The platform is fully operational and accessible in French, English, and Arabic. To ensure no fan is left behind, a dedicated, 24/7 customer service is available via a Moroccan phone line at +212 5 30 30 20 30 and by email at [email protected].
More Than a Free Ticket: A Strategic Welcome
This initiative is far more than a simple waiver of fees. It represents a core part of Morocco’s strategy to ensure massive public turnout and project an image of openness and hospitality. By smoothing the path into the country, Morocco aims to maximize the tournament’s positive impact on tourism, local economies, and international diplomacy.
The measure also serves a dual purpose: easing the administrative headache for thousands of traveling supporters while simultaneously bolstering security. The centralized FAN ID system allows for the clear identification of every ticket holder, creating a safer environment for everyone involved.
Spotlight on the Competition
The footballing landscape for the tournament is already taking shape. Algeria, having qualified for this edition, finds itself in a compelling Group E alongside Burkina Faso, Equatorial Guinea, and Sudan. Under the guidance of coach Vladimir Petkovi, the Fennecs are slated to play all their group stage matches in the bustling city of Casablanca, setting the scene for a fiercely contested and balanced group that has already captured the attention of football analysts.
Setting a New Standard for African Football
As the host nation for the competition scheduled from December 21, 2025, to January 18, 2026, Morocco is pulling out all the stops to make this AFCON a historic benchmark. Preparations are in full swing across host cities like Casablanca, Rabat, Marrakech, Fes, and Agadir, where sports infrastructure is undergoing significant renovation and construction.
The free visa announcement is the latest in a series of calculated steps to guarantee a seamless and inclusive experience for international visitors. It underscores Morocco’s ambition not just to host a tournament, but to deliver a spectacular, accessible, and universally celebrated 2025 Africa Cup of Nations, cementing its role as a major force in African football.
