TECNO, the innovative tech brand known for its AI-powered smartphones, has extended its partnership with the Confederation of African Football (CAF), becoming the Official Global Partner of the TotalEnergies CAF Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON) 2025 and AFCON 2027.
The upcoming tournaments will be held in Morocco (2025) and co-hosted by Kenya, Uganda, and Tanzania (2027), marking a historic moment for East African football.
This renewed alliance brings TECNO’s “Stop at Nothing” spirit to life, connecting millions of fans across Africa. It also builds on the brand’s successful sponsorship of the 2023 AFCON, where TECNO served as the exclusive smartphone partner.
Benjamin Jiang, Vice President of Transsion Holdings, said:
“This renewed partnership is a testament to the deep trust and shared success we’ve built with CAF. In our previous collaboration, we witnessed how football ignited passion and inspired dreams. AI-powered smart technologies became powerful tools to connect and empower millions across Africa.
That’s why this partnership goes beyond the game. It stands as a symbol of ambition and a platform where young people can shine, united by an unstoppable spirit of progress. It reflects our shared vision of harnessing innovation to shape a brighter future for Africa.”
As part of this partnership, TECNO will continue its Dream on the Field Renovation Campaign, launched in 2024 with CAF.
The initiative aims to improve access to quality playing fields in underserved communities, encouraging youth engagement and development through football and technology.
CAF General Secretary Véron Mosengo-Omba noted:
“TECNO’s longstanding support for football in Africa has had a meaningful impact on the development of the sport.
The Africa Cup of Nations is the continent’s most prestigious football event, representing passion and the pursuit of dreams. Deepening this partnership will help us take AFCON 2025 and 2027 to new heights of excitement for fans across Africa.”
This collaboration is a major step for TECNO as it continues to grow its emotional connection with Africa’s youth. With cutting-edge imaging technology, reliable performance, and sleek design, TECNO is building a future where innovation and football come together to inspire the next generation.
