Gérald Darmanin, the French Minister of the Interior, made an important announcement regarding the CAN 2025 which will take place at Morocco.
The “first cop in France” was visiting Rabat on Monday, to
“a profound renewal and modernization of the Franco-Moroccan relationship”says the main interested party in comments relayed by the Moroccan media TelQuel. Indeed, this gesture comes in a context marked by the thaw in relations between the two countries. The latter were at odds since the restriction of visas by France in 2021, before their relations turned polar in January 2023 after a vote by the European Parliament on the restriction of press freedom in Morocco.

Paris should in turn show its aid to Rabat during CAN 2025, the date has not yet been set
(the vagueness persists around the organization in summer or winter, taking into account the progress of the FIFA Club World Cup in June-July). Darmanin has in fact announced mutual support for the next “major sporting events (…) notably the Olympic and Paralympic Games this summer and the African Cup of Nations in Morocco in 2025”. The French state could also lend a hand in 2030 for the centenary of the World Cup which will be co-organized by Morocco, Spain and Portugal.
