- Once the platform is live, you may be asked to register / create an account in advance, so you can receive alerts when ticket sales begin.
Expected Prices & Categories
- The official price schedule hasn’t been released by CAF.
- Based on past tournaments and estimates, expectations are:

- Gradually increasing prices for later rounds (quarterfinals, semifinals), with the final being the most expensive.
Stadiums & Locations
Matches will be held in six Moroccan cities, including:
- Rabat (Prince Moulay Abdellah, Olympic Stadium, Prince Moulay Hassan and Al Barid Stadiums)
- Casablanca (Grand Stade / Stade Mohammed V)
- Marrakech
- Tangier (Ibn Batouta Stadium)
- Fez

Tips for Securing Tickets
- Register early on the CAF ticket site so you get notifications.
- Decide ahead which matches you want to attend—group matches, semis, final, etc.
- Have your documents ready (ID, perhaps proof of citizenship or residence) as needed for verification.
- Be online early on the sales date—popular matches are likely to sell out fast.
- Stay informed through CAF’s official channels (website, social media) so you don’t miss announcements or changes.
Remaining Uncertainties
- Exact launch date of ticket sales.
- Full pricing breakdowns and categories.
- Whether there will be special / preferential access (for residents, supporters clubs, etc.).
- How seat selection will work: whether you can pick exact seats or if you’ll be allocated sections.
