George Weah Reaffirms Liberia's Support for Morocco's 2025 Africa Cup of Nations Bid

Liberian President George Weah denied rumors that his country would support the organization of the 2025 CAN in Algeria to the detriment of Morocco.

The former Liberian football great turned president of the republic described these reports relayed by some foreign media as "false" and "misleading". Rejecting these allegations in a statement, George Weah reiterated his "full and strong" support for the Moroccan candidacy. "Liberia approves and fully supports Morocco’s candidacy to host the 2025 CAF Africa Cup of Nations. I made this commitment to King Mohammed VI. It is carved in stone," reports TelQuel.

For George Weah, Morocco has made "remarkable investments" and continues to work for the development of football. Reasons why he "deserves to host the biggest African football celebration". The President of Liberia said he has started campaigning for Morocco among football stakeholders across the continent.

Morocco announced its candidacy after the Confederation of African Football (CAF) disqualified Guinea, which was unable to host such a competition.
