Africa’s football heartbeat comes alive tonight as the Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON) explodes into action on Moroccan soil. Under the floodlights and before a roaring crowd, hosts Morocco will open the tournament against Comoros in what promises to be a thrilling curtain-raiser.

From the very first whistle, AFCON delivers more than just football — it brings passion, pride, and the unmistakable rhythm of African flair. For Morocco, playing at home means carrying the hopes of a nation, while Comoros arrive eager to shock the continent and write their own fairytale.
