The 2025 African Cup of Nations (AFCON) in Morocco kicks off on December 21, as 24 nations prepare to compete for the continent’s most prestigious football prize.
With 52 matches across the group stage, knockout rounds, and the final, fans will have plenty of chances to witness the action live.
For those hoping to be part of the excitement, securing tickets is a priority; here, Football Grounds Guide explains where and how to get official AFCON 2025 tickets, ensuring supporters do not miss a moment of the action across the stadiums.
Third phase of AFCON 2025 ticket sales opens
The first two phases of AFCON 2025 ticket sales were a huge success, with over 300,000 sold.
Fans from 33 African countries and 106 nations worldwide snapped up seats, with Morocco, France, Belgium, and the Netherlands showing the highest demand.
With the first two phases now closed, supporters who missed out still have a chance to secure their place at Africa’s biggest football tournament.
The third phase of ticket sales opened on November 15, 2025, and remains available, offering fans another opportunity to experience the excitement live.
Demand is expected to remain strong, so fans are encouraged to act quickly, with this probably being the final chance to obtain tickets for the tournament.
Where to get AFCON 2025 tickets
Fans looking to secure their seats for AFCON 2025 should use official channels to ensure a safe and reliable experience.
The primary platform for all match tickets, including group stages, knockout rounds, and the final, is the CAF online ticketing portal at tickets.cafonline.com, where supporters can create an account and manage their purchases directly.
The YALLA App, available on Google Play, the App Store, or via the official site (www.yallamorocco.ma), allows fans to apply for their mandatory Fan ID, obtain free visas if travelling to Morocco, and, in some cases, purchase AFCON 2025 tickets.
The Fan ID is essential for stadium entry, helps facilitate visas for international visitors and provides access to fan zones across Morocco’s host cities.
Each participating country’s National Football Association (NFA) receives a ticket allocation for their supporters, so fans are advised to check with their home federation for availability and purchasing procedures.
Additionally, limited allocations may be available through accredited resellers or official fan clubs, but it is important to verify these sources to avoid unofficial or fraudulent tickets.</p>
