Ahead of Tournament Draw, CAF Unveils Logo for 2025 African Cup of Nations in Morocco

Ahead of the tournament’s final draw this week, the Confederation of African Football (CAF) has officially unveiled the logo for the 2025 Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON), which is set to kick off later this year.

The logo was unveiled in Rabat, Morocco, on Sunday, January 26. “The new logo, a modern and iconic symbol for African football, celebrates the heritage and unity of the African continent,” the CAF said on its website.

The centerpiece of the logo is a depiction of the Africa Cup of Nations trophy in white with a multicolored geometric pattern running through the base. The pattern is inspired by zellij, a traditional Moroccan style of mosaic tilework.

The spheres and arc on the top of the trophy in the logo mirror the shape of the Africa Cup of Nations trophy. A map of the continent of Africa sits under the arc.

The TotalEnergies CAF AFCON 2025 logo reflects the synergy between tradition and modernity. Each pattern and shape symbolizes the unity of nations, players and fans, echoing how football and art come together to create something extraordinary.
Just as zellij pieces are meticulously crafted and assembled to form breathtaking designs, every moment in football builds toward a masterpiece of skill, teamwork and triumph.
The vibrant colors — gold for achievement, green for unity, red for resilience and blue for boundless potential — go beyond mere aesthetics. They embody the spirit of African football, representing the energy of the game, the strength of the players and the passion of the fans.
Merging the geometry of football with the intricate artistry of zellij, it captures the precision and movement of the game while honouring Africa’s cultural legacy. It is a celebration of African craftsmanship and the beauty of football’s dynamism.
