Vanguard reports CAF has confirmed Afrobeats star Davido will perform at the AFCON 2025 opening concert in Rabat, alongside an international lineup including French Montana and Moroccan acts.
The concert is positioned as a major pre-tournament spectacle, tying entertainment directly into AFCON’s build-up and fan programming.
Verification: CAF’s official announcement describes a “major musical spectacle,” and TVC News also reported the headline lineup for the kickoff concert.
Quotes: CAF: “Morocco will open… with a major musical spectacle…” TVC News: “Davido… announced to headline the opening concert…”
Analysis/Echotitbits take: This is soft power in motion—Nigeria’s pop culture remains a continental magnet. Watch brand activations, tourism-linked business opportunities, and whether CAF sustains the festival model for future tournaments.
