The Confederation of African Football (CAF) has come out to firmly deny claims that fans will be allowed free access to stadiums at the ongoing 2025 Africa Cup of Nations.
Reports had circulated suggesting that CAF, alongside the Local Organising Committee (LOC), approved free entry into match venues following concerns over low attendance across several stadiums. So far, only fixtures involving the host nation have attracted full stands.
However, CAF has dismissed those reports as false, stressing that tickets will remain on sale for all matches until the tournament comes to an end. The football governing body made it clear that there has been no directive for free admission at any venue.
The competition resumes on Saturday with four matches lined up across different centres. One of the headline games will see the Super Eagles of Nigeria face the Carthage Eagles of Tunisia in a keenly anticipated encounter.
AFCON 2025 continues to build momentum as teams battle for progression, with organisers insisting that normal ticketing procedures remain in place throughout the tournament.
