The year 2025 will be marked by the celebration of the 50th anniversary of the Green March at a time when Moroccan diplomacy continues to achieve successive victories. Morocco is also preparing to host the African Cup of Nations. Yassine El Yattioui, Secretary General and Associate Researcher at NejMaroc, and lecturer at Lumière Lyon II University, specializing in diplomacy, economic intelligence, and geopolitics, provides us with an analysis of the expectations and challenges for 2025.
2025 stands out as a historic and strategic milestone for Morocco, where national celebrations, diplomatic ambitions, and continental influence intersect. November 6, 2025, will mark the 50th anniversary of the Green March, a founding event symbolizing the unity of the Moroccan people around the issue of the Moroccan Sahara.
On the diplomatic front, Morocco enters this year with renewed ambition to consolidate its achievements and expand international support for the Moroccanness of the Sahara. Obtaining official recognition from the United Kingdom is a priority goal for Moroccan diplomacy.
The Moroccan strategy is based on proactive and balanced diplomacy, revolving around several axes, including strengthening partnerships with sub-Saharan African countries and deepening relations with global economic powers such as China, India, and Gulf countries.
Climate issues and energy security remain priorities for the Kingdom, with Morocco intending to strengthen its position as a regional leader in sustainable development.
2025 will also witness a major continental event: the African Cup of Nations, to be held in Morocco from December 21, 2025, to January 18, 2026. This event will provide Morocco with an opportunity to showcase its organizational expertise, modern infrastructure, and legendary hospitality.
Economically, the African Cup of Nations is expected to generate significant financial returns, with thousands of visitors expected and international media coverage. This event will also act as a catalyst for foreign investments, especially in the tourism, infrastructure, and technology sectors.
2025 should also be seen as a pivotal year for Moroccan public policies. The development of the southern provinces remains a top priority, with flagship projects such as the Dakhla Atlantic Port, specialized industrial zones, and social programs.
Thus, 2025 will be a year where historical, diplomatic, economic, and sports challenges converge. The celebration of the 50th anniversary of the Green March will remind the world of Morocco’s determination to defend its territorial integrity. Diplomatic gains will strengthen Morocco’s strategic position at the international level. Finally, the African Cup of Nations will provide a unique platform to consolidate the image of a modern, influential Morocco committed to sustainable development.
