Moroccans Celebrate Inclusion of Zellige in AFCON 2025 Logo
Celebration has started in Morocco even before the draw and final competition of the 2025 Africa Cup of Nations that the kingdom is hosting.
With the unveiling of the logo on Saturday evening, the citizens went frenzy, especially the adoption of Zellige mosaic art.
The logo depicts the usual AFCON cup, except this year covered in colourful authentic zellige – a form of mosaic art, that pays homage to Morocco’s diversity and cultural uniqueness.
According to CAF, the logo reflects the synergy between tradition and modernity. 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, every moment in football builds toward a masterpiece of skill, teamwork and triumph”, CAF remarks in an official press release.

The draw for the Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON) Morocco 2025 promises to be an unforgettable sporting and musical event on a fitting stage at the magnificent Mohammed V National Theatre in Rabat on Monday, 27 January.
In addition to the excitement surrounding the 24 qualified teams learning their pool stage opponents for the 21 December 2025 – 18 January 2026 tournament, the draw will also feature several world-class acts to continue the great tradition of African football and music intertwined.
The star-studded event gets underway at 19h00 local time (18h00 GMT | 20h00 Cairo).
Three internationally renowned artists will be in the spotlight to set the evening on fire: Hatim Ammor, Gims and RedOne.
HATIM AMMOR: THE MOROCCAN STAR
Originally from Casablanca, Hatim Ammor is one of the most popular singers in Morocco. With a style that blends traditional Moroccan music with modern sounds, Ammor has won the hearts of millions of fans across the Arab world.
His career has been marked by hits such as “Hasdouna” and “Mchiti Fiha”, which have racked up millions of views on streaming platforms.
Ammor is expected to offer a vibrant performance that will celebrate the cultural richness of Morocco. His stage charisma and powerful voice will make the performance a highlight of the evening.
As an ambassador of Moroccan music, he will perfectly embody the spirit of the AFCON, which brings together diverse nations and cultures on the same pitch.
GIMS: AN INTERNATIONAL ICON
An artist of Congolese origin, Gims is an emblematic figure of French-speaking and international music. Based in France and Morocco, he has established himself as one of the most listened to artists of his generation, thanks to albums such as “Subliminal” and “Ceinture Noire”.
Gims has been able to transcend borders and musical genres. He also performed “Arhbo”, one of the official anthems of the FIFA World Cup Qatar 2022™, reinforcing his status as a globally recognised artist.
His participation in the draw for the 2025 AFCON is particularly symbolic, as it highlights the importance of the African diaspora in promoting the culture and unity of the continent.
Gims is set to perform some of his most iconic tracks, offering a unique blend of urban rhythms and African influences.
His presence will bring an international dimension to the event, reaffirming the global influence of the AFCON.
REDONE: THE MAESTRO OF THE EVENING
The third artist is none other than RedOne, a world-renowned Moroccan producer and composer.
RedOne, whose real name is Nadir Khayat, has collaborated with the biggest stars on the planet, including Lady Gaga, Jennifer Lopez and Nicki Minaj.
