The Confederation of African Football, CAF, has introduced new regulations ahead of the 2025 African Cup of Nations, AFCON, in Morocco.
These stipulations cover squad lists, logistics and training as it concerns the participating teams.
The regulations stipulation, “National teams must submit their final squad at least 10 days before kickoff, failure to do so attracts a $10,000 fine
“Only 18 players from each squad will be permitted to travel within cities for matches by plane, road or train.
“Teams moving from Rabat to Casablanca will travel on match day morning, while those heading to other cities can move a day before.
“Nations expected to travel between cities during the group stage include: Zimbabwe, South Africa, Angola, Tanzania, Tunisia, Uganda, Botswana, DR Congo, Benin, Mozambique, Cameroon, Gabon, Comoros, Mali, Zambia, Sudan, Burkina Faso & Equatorial Guinea.
“No full training session at the match venue a day before games — teams may only visit and familiarize with the stadium between 2pm and 9pm, pending CAF approval.
The tournament will be played between December 21, 2025 and January 18, 2026.
