A Humanitarian Gesture at the Africa Cup of Nations
Sunday 11-01-2026
In a remarkable humanitarian gesture during the Africa Cup of Nations, the organizers in Morocco extended special invitations to a number of visually impaired citizens to attend the Senegal vs. Mali match held yesterday, Friday. They also provided "audio description" technology, enabling them to follow the events of the game live.

According to numerous press reports, this technology relies on providing a detailed and precise description of everything happening on the field, including players' movements, game developments, and crucial moments. This gives visually impaired individuals the opportunity to experience the full atmosphere of the match as if they were watching it with their own eyes.

This initiative embodies Morocco's commitment to promoting the principle of inclusion and enabling participation in sports events for all segments of society, emphasizing that football is a universal language and a shared right available to everyone without exception.

The African Football Confederation had previously implemented this initiative in earlier editions with partners such as Touch2See. Morocco was found to be an ideal environment for expansion, thanks to the advanced infrastructure of the stadiums in Rabat, Marrakech, Tangier, and Agadir, as well as the clear commitment to making football an inclusive enjoyment for everyone.

Morocco received widespread praise from various sports and continental circles for its high level of organization of the Africa Cup of Nations, both in terms of advanced infrastructure and the quality of stadiums and facilities, as well as the warm hospitality and meticulous organization. This reflected the kingdom's readiness to host major football events and solidified its position as a leading destination for hosting major tournaments.
