American streamer IShowSpeed arrives in Morocco to attend the CAN Final
Arriving in Morocco at around 1 a.m., the famous American streamer IShowSpeed received a distinguished welcome at Rabat-Salé Airport. IShowSpeed traveled specifically to experience up close the grand final of the 2025 Africa Cup of Nations, which will pit the Atlas Lions against Senegal this Sunday, January 18, at the Moulay Abdellah Stadium.


Upon disembarking from the aircraft, the global streaming star was warmly received by Omar Khyari, personal adviser to President Fouzi Lekjaa, accompanied by Amine Mazzen, Head of Communication at the Royal Moroccan Football Federation. A reception fully in line with the image of excellence and rigor that has marked Moroccan organization throughout this historic CAN.
IShowSpeed’s visit to the Kingdom comes after a shortened stay in Algeria, where he had been invited to attend the Algerian Super Cup. Regrettable incidents and inappropriate behavior by sections of the Algerian public, which occurred upon his arrival at the Nelson Mandela Stadium, reportedly forced him to leave the country prematurely, a country described as being marked by xenophobia, hostility toward foreigners and a lack of hospitality.
In Morocco, the contrast is immediate and striking. Controlled security, respect, serenity, and authentic, legendary hospitality marked this nighttime arrival, once again illustrating the deep-rooted values of Moroccan coexistence. Recognized as a land of welcome, the Kingdom confirms its ability to host international personalities in a climate of trust, goodwill and professionalism, well beyond the sporting sphere.
The presence of IShowSpeed in Rabat for this exceptional final also reflects the international reach of CAN 2025 organized in Morocco, which has become a global event followed and commented on across the world. Between popular fervor, organizational excellence and cultural openness, Morocco offers African football a modern, ambitious and inspiring showcase.
This Sunday, all eyes will be on the Moulay Abdellah Stadium. On the pitch and in the stands, Morocco is once again preparing to offer the world a striking demonstration of passion, sporting elegance and legendary hospitality.
