CAN 2025 : the big cleanup has begun on the streets of Morocco

A major cleanup on the streets of the Kingdom. On the sidelines of the kickoff of the Africa Cup of Nations, local authorities have launched a large-scale campaign to seize mobile coffee and food vending carts. A "clean hands" operation aimed at freeing up public space and ensuring health safety for the thousands of visitors expected.

From the first day of the competition, brigades have been deployed on the ground, particularly targeting the prefectures of Casablanca and Tangier. The objective is to prevent any risk of poisoning or disorder in a context of strong tourist influx.

This administrative offensive is a direct response to the demands of cafe and restaurant owners, who have long denounced the unfair competition from this informal sector. These professionals had repeatedly warned about the lack of health checks on these itinerant businesses, calling for strict regulation essential to the protection of public health and the formal economy during this continental event.
