00:00Less than a week before the kick-off of the 2025 Africa Cup of Nations AFCON in Morocco,
00:06the countdown has just begun.
00:08In the host city's final preparations are underway and the tournament atmosphere is gradually taking shape.
00:14Flags of the respective participating teams and banners in AFCON colours are appearing in the streets and along the main avenues.
00:22Fan zones are also fine-tuning their setups to welcome supporters in the best possible conditions.
00:30The excitement isn't really visible here, especially in Casablanca, apart from a few posters announcing the countdown.
00:37But I think this AFCON will be a success, at least in terms of logistics and organisation.
00:43It will only truly be a success if Morocco wins the tournament.
00:48We are now less than a week away from the AFCON. I think the excitement is really starting to build.
00:53Everyone is waiting for the start, waiting for that first day, that first ball, that first kick-off to launch what is going to be an extraordinary celebration.
01:00We can already see it, even in the diaspora here in Morocco.
01:03Senegalese, Malian and all other nations taking part in the AFCON.
01:06Everyone will answer the call. Everyone will be here to make this tournament a success.
01:11Here in Morocco, all eyes are set on the Africa Cup of Nations.
01:15Although the competition officially kicks off on Sunday 21st December, excitement is already building.
01:21And with the arrival of visitors and the start of the matches, the passion is expected to sweep across the entire country.
