A van carrying a group of football enthusiasts has begun a remarkable cross-continental road trip through eight African countries in celebration of the upcoming 2025 Africa Cup of Nations in Morocco.
The initiative, titled “Destination Morocco 2025 – Land of Football,” departed Cotonou, Benin, last week and is scheduled to travel thousands of kilometres across Togo, Ghana, Cote d’Ivoire, Guinea, Senegal and Mauritania before reaching Morocco in time for the tournament, which runs from December 21, 2025 to January 18, 2026.
Organisers say the journey is aimed at uniting African fans and building excitement toward the continent’s biggest football competition.
“The objective is simple: reach the Kingdom and celebrate Africa’s greatest football festival,” organisers said, noting that the caravan also intends to highlight pan-African identity and shared passion for the game.
The month-long adventure is expected to generate media attention along the route, with planned fan interactions and promotional activities in several cities before the convoy arrives in Morocco shortly before the tournament kicks off.
