How to watch AFCON 2025 draw today: Start time, TV channel, live stream and pots in full AFCON 2025 moves a step closer tonight as the group-stage draw is held in Morocco.
The first match of AFCON 2025 will be played on Sunday December 21, 2025, when Morocco take on their first Group A opponent.
It is the first time since 1988 that Morocco have hosted the Africa Cup of Nations, and they will be hoping home advantage can help end a 50-year wait to be crowned champions of Africa.
The big shock in AFCON qualifying came as Ghana failed to win any of their six matches and finished bottom of the group, meaning they will miss the tournament for the first time since 2004.
Morocco and Ivory Coast have both been placed in Pot 1, with the other 22 countries split based on the FIFA world rankings in December.
