On Guardian Life’s report, Davido has been confirmed as a headline act for the TotalEnergies AFCON 2025 opening concert in Rabat, Morocco, billed as the cultural starter before the football begins.
The show is slated for Saturday, December 20 at the OLM Souissi Fan Zone, with French Montana also on the bill alongside Moroccan and Franco‑Moroccan acts—positioning AFCON as both sport and pop-culture export.
– CAF (Official website): “Morocco will open the 2025 TotalEnergies CAF Africa Cup of Nations with a major musical spectacle…”
– Punch (News outlet): “Global hip-hop star French Montana and Nigerian Afrobeats icon Davido will lead an exciting international line-up…”
Analysis/Echotitbits take: This is soft power at work—AFCON is increasingly selling an “Africa experience,” not just a tournament. Watch for sponsor integrations, broadcast packaging, and whether Nigerian acts get more official-event placements across CAF programming this cycle.
