🇲🇦 MOROCCO AFCON FAN ID VISA: Complete Guide for Nigerian Supporters (2025)
Attending the AFCON 2025 in Morocco is a dream for many Nigerian football supporters — but there’s a new twist this time. To enter stadiums and fan zones, you’ll need both a Fan ID and a Visa/e-Authorization (AEVM).
This guide by Asedeeq Travels walks you through everything step-by-step — what the Fan ID is, how the new e-Visa works, application deadlines, and how we make it seamless for Nigerian fans.
🏟️ What is the Fan ID for AFCON 2025?
The Confédération Africaine de Football (CAF), in partnership with Morocco, has launched a digital Fan ID system through the “Yalla” app.
- The Fan ID is mandatory for all ticket-holders to access stadiums and fan zones.
- The app integrates ticketing, access control, and for non-visa-exempt fans, a visa or travel authorization process.
📱 Download: Yalla App (available on iOS & Android from 25 Sept 2025).
🇳🇬 Why Nigerian Fans Need the Fan ID & Visa (or e-Visa)
Nigeria is not among the countries eligible for the temporary AEVM (electronic travel authorization) for AFCON 2025. Nigerian fans must follow the standard visa process — unless the Moroccan government announces a new exemption.
Even so, Fan ID registration via the Yalla app is mandatory before purchasing tickets. Without it, ticket access may be blocked.
👉🏽 Asedeeq Travels will assist with:
- Fan ID registration
- Yalla app setup
- Visa/e-Visa submission
- Match ticketing and travel logistics
📱 Step-by-Step: How Nigerian Supporters Apply for Fan ID (Yalla App)
- Download the Yalla app (available from 25 Sept 2025).
- Create an account and upload your passport biodata page + photo.
- Link your match ticket purchase or reservation.
- Receive your Fan ID (digital card) — used for entry into stadiums and fan zones.
- If you need a visa/e-Visa, the app will guide you automatically.
💡 Tip: Register your Fan ID before ticket sales open (early October) to avoid delays.
