Road to AFCON 2025: “Destination Morocco” Caravan Spreads Excitement Across Africa
With the countdown to the 2025 Africa Cup of Nations firmly underway, energy around the continent continues to build — and nowhere is that spirit more visible than in the ongoing “Destination Morocco 2025 – Land of Football” caravan, a unique road trip designed to unite Africa through sport.
The travelling group, made up of journalists, influencers, content creators, communication professionals and former players, is driving across multiple African countries on its way to Morocco, the host of next year’s AFCON. Their mission is simple but symbolic: celebrate African football, connect with local communities, and highlight the unity that the tournament represents.
From Benin to Ghana: A Journey Filled With Stories
The caravan began its expedition in Benin, passed through Togo, and reached Ghana earlier this week. On Tuesday, December 9, the team held a media briefing at the Fiesta Royale Hotel in Accra, where they shared updates from the road and reflected on what the journey means to them.
Those taking part come from several AFCON 2025-qualified nations — among them Nigeria, Guinea, Uganda and South Africa. Many said Ghana has been one of the most unforgettable stops so far, noting Accra’s warm welcome, its lively football culture, and the unmistakable pride Ghanaians have for their national team.
Some spoke about enjoying the local cuisine, especially jollof rice, while others pointed to the buzzing streets and fan culture that make the city feel like a natural home of African football passion. Their time in Ghana, they said, strengthened the sense of solidarity the caravan hopes to highlight across the continent.
Storytelling, Creativity and Football Promotion
Behind the scenes, organizers view the project as more than a road trip. They believe it doubles as a platform for Africa’s fast-growing digital creative community — a space where storytellers, videographers and digital journalists can capture the spirit of AFCON in real time.
It also reflects the growing role of content creation in promoting African sport. As AFCON 2025 approaches, such initiatives give fans across the continent a fresh, more personal way to experience the build-up to the tournament.
Next Stops Before Morocco
From Accra, the caravan will continue westward through Côte d’Ivoire, Guinea, Senegal and Mauritania, before finally crossing into Morocco on December 20, just a day before AFCON 2025 officially kicks off.
With each new country, the team is gathering stories, meeting fans and spotlighting the shared passion that binds African football together. And as the tournament draws nearer, their journey has already become one of the most engaging narratives leading up to Morocco 2025.
