“The new logo, a modern and iconic symbol of African football, celebrates the heritage and unity of the African continent,” CAF writes in a statement published on its website.
The final tournament of the AFCON, scheduled to take place from December 21, 2025 to January 18, 2026 in Morocco, will mark a new page in the history of Africa’s greatest sporting spectacle, the same source adds, pointing out that the logo tells a story of pride, resilience and hope, bridging the realms of sport and art.
Inspired by Moroccan “zellij”, a timeless mosaic art form, the tournament logo redefines football as a canvas where creativity, precision and passion collide, CAF points out, stating that “the AFCON 2025 logo reflects the synergy between tradition and modernity, as each pattern and shape symbolizes the unity of nations, players and fans, echoing how football and art come together to create something extraordinary”.
“Just as zellij pieces are meticulously crafted and assembled to form breathtaking designs, each moment in football builds toward a masterpiece of skill, teamwork and triumph,” CAF adds.
-“Merging the geometry of football with the intricate artistry of zellij, it captures the precision and movement of the game while honoring Africa’s cultural legacy. It is a celebration of African craftsmanship and the beauty of football’s dynamism,” the statement reads.
The draw for the final phase of the AFCON Morocco 2025 will take place on Monday at the Mohammed V National Theatre in Rabat.
