Morocco's AFCON 2025 Masterclass: Song Calls the Edition a Revelation
Rigobert Song applauds Morocco's AFCON 2025 organization.

The Cameroonian international, Rigobert Song, expressed his admiration for how Morocco is running the 2025 Africa Cup of Nations, noting that the atmosphere in the host cities reflects the amount of work invested to make the continental tournament a success.

Song, speaking to reporters on Thursday, said this edition differs from all the previous ones he has participated in or watched, noting that "Morocco has put all the necessary resources to guarantee the competition runs in the best possible conditions."

Great Atmosphere in Morocco

He added: "The number of participating teams is larger, which gives the competition a special character, and the atmosphere inside the stadiums is clear for everyone. We watched a match between two nations (Cameroon vs Gabon); the stadium was full, and the atmosphere was fantastic."

The solid defender of the Indomitable Lions underlines the warm reception and organization Morocco has shown Africa, stressing that this contributes to a positive image of the tournament.

Morocco's organizing is so tight that even the whistle needs a permit — and if this AFCON were a movie, Morocco already released the director's cut before you bought your popcorn.
