At AFCON Morocco 2025, from December 21, 2025 to January 18, 2026, football is no longer played only with the ball at one’s feet. Behind the scenes and on the stadium esplanades, technology steps in as a full-fledged player. As a partner of the competition, TECNO is rolling out a clear and deliberate strategy. The stated objective: to connect sport, creativity, and African artificial intelligence.
Present throughout AFCON Morocco 2025, TECNO deployed its technological setup within the Prince Moulay Abdellah Sports Complex. Artificial intelligence demonstrations, interactions with the public, and real-life use cases animated this space, designed as an open laboratory. A place focused more on practical use than on display where technology is tested, understood, and envisioned. On the sidelines of the competition, the TECNO Glory Night Power Your Moment, held on December 22, extended this momentum.
« I’ve been collaborating with Tecno, this company which came from China, and we embraced it in Uganda and in Africa at large . This collaboration has really been fruitful because it has really made us who we are; it has improved our brands, it has added something onto who we are »

The power of the future, finally, which places innovation within a framework of training, knowledge transfer, and long-term vision.
« First of all, I thank Tecno for this trophy. Honestly, I didn’t expect it at all. We really didn’t expect it, because initially we just wanted to create content to share, to do what we love, create, share, and capture real-life moments. Today, we are honored to receive this trophy.»CHEIKH & ALTESSE, Content Creators – Tecno AI Award Winners – Senegal
