The Confederation of African Football, CAF,and the AFCON Morocco 2025 Local Organising Committee have announced a major travel boost for football supporters ahead of next year’s tournament, confirming that fans who normally require a visa to enter Morocco will now receive free electronic visas for the competition.
CAF revealed in a statement on its official website that supporters attending Africa’s premier football event, scheduled for 21 December 2025 to 18 January 2026, can obtain their free e-visa through the YALLA mobile application, which centralizes all fan-related services.
The decision comes as global enthusiasm for the tournament surges, with ticket bookings already rising significantly.
Fan ID + E-Visa: Mandatory for Stadium Access
CAF explained that two documents are required for all international supporters during the tournament:
- A Fan ID
- An electronic visa (for nationalities that require one)
“A Fan ID is mandatory for entry to all stadiums and official Fan Areas,” the statement said, noting that supporters can apply for both documents “seamlessly within the YALLA app,” making travel and stadium access faster, easier, and more secure.

A Streamlined Experience for AFCON 2025
