CAF Unveils Free e-Visas For Fans Attending 2025 AFCON In Morocco

The Confederation of African Football (CAF) and the AFCON Morocco 2025 Local Organising Committee announced on Friday that fans travelling to the tournament will be eligible for free electronic visas.

The policy benefits citizens of countries that typically require a visa to enter Morocco.

“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 in a statement on its website.

CAF noted that the move comes as global interest in Africa’s biggest football event continues to grow, with more fans booking tickets for the tournament.

Fans are required to have two documents, a Fan ID and an e-visa, to enter Morocco and gain access to stadiums throughout the competition.

“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 Fan ID application and e-visa request are completed seamlessly within the YALLA app, ensuring a faster, easier and secure experience for international visitors and local fans alike,” the statement added.

In order to benefit from this offer, supporters were advised to download the YALLA app via Google Play or the App Store, or visit the official YALLA website, complete the Fan ID form, and, if necessary, submit the e-visa request.

Once approved, fans can purchase match tickets on CAF’s official ticketing platform.

“The new measures are designed to deliver a seamless, secure fan experience for Africa’s showpiece event that will be played across nine stadiums in six cities,” CAF said.

Morocco’s hosting of the tournament for the first time in decades is expected to bring Africa’s football celebration back to the continent, promising thrilling matches and a stage for Africa’s top football stars to shine.
