A couple who went viral for comparing the cost of flights to Nigeria versus Morocco has received an unexpected reward from the Confederation of African Football (CAF): free match tickets for the 2025 Africa Cup of Nations in Morocco. The Nigerian man had shared a post breaking down the surprising affordability of a Morocco trip during AFCON. «I just did the math. What it will cost my wife and I to fly to Morocco, stay 8 days, watch three AFCON games and rent a car for the period is cheaper than one person's flight to Nigeria in December», he wrote. We hear you, and you can redo the math now ?? Your match tickets for you and your wife are on us ?️ Looking forward to seeing you at #TotalEnergiesAFCON2025 in Morocco ?⚽ https://t.co/nlC1pxPuus — CAF_Online (@CAF_Online) November 29, 2025 CAF's response was swift. The organisation publicly offered to cover their match tickets for the tournament, which will span nine Moroccan cities in 2025. «We hear you, and you can redo the math now. Your match tickets for you and your wife are on us», CAF replied to the post shared in late November. For the record, Nigeria will open its AFCON campaign on December 23 against Tanzania, before facing Tunisia and Uganda in the group stage.
