The Africa Cup of Nations “Morocco 2025” has taken a significant step in social inclusion by launching a groundbreaking initiative that allows visually impaired and blind fans to follow matches from inside the stadiums, using advanced technological solutions.
The initiative was launched in coordination with the Royal Moroccan Football Federation and the Confederation of African Football (CAF), relying primarily on audio description technology, which provides live and detailed commentary on match events.
Special Headsets and Sensory Experience
Fans receive special headsets that deliver precise descriptions of everything happening on the pitch, including player movements, key moments, and crowd reactions, allowing them to experience the match live, moment by moment.
Additionally, interactive touch technologies were integrated through tablets, enabling fans to track the ball’s movement on the field by touch, creating an experience that combines technology and the direct sensation of the game.
Widespread Public Praise
The initiative has received widespread acclaim on social media, with users describing it as a pioneering experience and a qualitative achievement for Morocco during the tournament, emphasizing that it is an unprecedented initiative in the history of the Africa Cup of Nations.
