The Confederation of African Football (CAF) and the AFCON Morocco 2025 Local Organising Committee announced on Friday that fans travelling to next year’s tournament will be eligible for free electronic visas.
The new policy applies to citizens of countries that normally require a visa to enter Morocco.
According to a statement on CAF’s website, “Electronic visas to enter Morocco — obtained through the YALLA app — are now free of charge for supporters attending the competition, which runs from 21 December 2025 to 18 January 2026.”
CAF said the move comes as global interest in Africa’s biggest football event continues to rise, with more fans already securing tickets.
To attend matches, fans will need two documents: a Fan ID and an e-visa. Both are required to stay in Morocco and gain access to stadiums throughout the tournament.
“A Fan ID is mandatory for entry to all stadiums and official Fan Areas. Supporters can apply for both the Fan ID and e-visa in one place inside the YALLA app, streamlining travel and stadium access,” the statement said.
It added that the entire process is completed seamlessly within the app, ensuring a faster, easier, and more secure experience for both international visitors and local supporters.
Fans can apply by downloading the YALLA app from Google Play or the App Store, or by visiting the official YALLA website to complete the Fan ID form and, if needed, submit the e-visa request. Once approved, supporters can then purchase match tickets through the CAF ticketing platform.
CAF noted that the new measures aim to deliver a smooth and secure fan experience for Africa’s premier football tournament, which will be played across nine stadiums in six cities.
With Morocco hosting AFCON for the first time since 1988, the competition returns to North Africa with high expectations, intense rivalries, and a fresh generation of African stars ready to shine. A total of 24 teams are set to participate.
