The Confederation of African Football and the African Cup of Nations (AFCON) Morocco 2025 Local Organising Committee has announced that all football fans travelling to the tournament will be eligible for free electronic visas.
This announcement was made known in a press statement issued by CAF on Friday.
CAF announced that it has secured a deal with the government of Morocco to relax visa rules on football fans who want to travel to the 2025 AFCON, which will be played between December 21, 2025, and January 18, 2026.
CAF said: “Electronic visas to enter Morocco — obtained through the YALLA app — are now free of charge for supporters attending the competition, which runs from 21 December 2025 to 18 January 2026.
“CAF Supporters can apply for both the Fan ID and e-visa in one place inside the YALLA app, streamlining travel and stadium access.
“The Fan ID application and e-visa request are completed seamlessly within the YALLA app, ensuring a faster, easier, and secure experience for international visitors and local fans alike,” it added.
CAF explained that to apply, fans are expected to download YALLA on Google Play or the App Store, or visit the YALLA website, complete the Fan ID form, and, if required, the e-visa request.
Once approved, supporters can buy match tickets on the CAF ticketing platform.
