La Revue Afrique has revealed the scale of the media attacks Morocco faced while hosting the Africa Cup of Nations 2025, with the number of tweets opposing the country exceeding 860,000 on X (formerly Twitter) during the month of the tournament. These figures confirm that some parties attempted to undermine Morocco and weaken its image and organizational success, but all their efforts ultimately failed.
The attacks were not merely sports critiques or discussions about officiating, but were part of a systematic strategy targeting the kingdom during the tournament. Nevertheless, Morocco demonstrated its ability to meet challenges by organizing the event professionally, offering an exceptional experience for fans and participating teams.
Despite the hostile campaigns, national media managed to document the organizational achievements and reflect the level of preparation and dedication Morocco demonstrated. The tournament showcased Morocco’s sporting capabilities and high competency in hosting major events, which thwarted all attempts to distort the image or question the kingdom’s organizational abilities.
In reality, any attempts to unsettle the national team or influence the course of the tournament were unsuccessful. Morocco emerged from the Africa Cup of Nations 2025 more radiant than before, proving that it is capable of managing continental and global tournaments with high efficiency while maintaining its leading position in African football.
