CAF Unveils New Futsal AFCON Trophy, Visual Identity Ahead of Morocco 2026
The Confederation of African Football (CAF) has officially unveiled a new trophy and visual identity for the 2026 CAF Futsal Africa Cup of Nations in Morocco.
CAF presented the redesigned trophy and branding on Monday ahead of the official Futsal AFCON 2026 draw at the Mohammed VI Football Complex in Salé.
Morocco will host the tournament from October 12 to 21, bringing together eight of Africa’s leading futsal nations.
CAF Introduces New Futsal AFCON 2026 Identity
CAF said the new visual identity marks a new chapter for the Futsal Africa Cup of Nations and reflects the continued growth and ambition of African futsal.
The design draws inspiration from the speed, movement, creativity, and intensity associated with the indoor game.
CAF also introduced a redesigned Futsal AFCON trophy featuring several elements inspired directly by the sport.
Five golden arches represent the five players each team fields on the court. A final arch at the top depicts a captain lifting a ball engraved with the African continent.
The trophy also features a matt-gold map of Africa set against a polished gold background, emphasizing the competition’s continental identity.
Its base displays the tournament’s name, while the reverse features an engraved roll of honour recognizing previous Futsal Africa Cup of Nations champions.
CAF said the redesign forms part of its efforts to raise the profile of futsal across Africa and showcase the improving standard of African teams internationally.
Morocco Drawn With Algeria in Group A
The unveiling took place on the same day as the official draw for the 2026 CAF Futsal Africa Cup of Nations.
The eight qualified teams were divided into two groups of four.
Hosts and defending champions Morocco were drawn in Group A alongside Algeria, Libya, and Zambia.
Group B features Egypt, Angola, Mozambique, and Tanzania.
All eight teams had secured their places before Monday’s draw, with Morocco qualifying automatically as the host nation.
The 2026 Futsal AFCON will give Morocco the opportunity to defend its continental title on home soil while competing against some of Africa’s strongest futsal teams.
Pure skill. Bold moves. Endless passion. ⚡️

Morocco will enter the tournament seeking a fourth consecutive continental title after winning the previous three editions in 2016, 2020 and 2024.
The Atlas Lions’ most recent triumph came on home soil in 2024, when they defeated Angola 5-1 in the final in Rabat.
The October competition will therefore combine Morocco’s latest title defense with CAF’s newly introduced branding and trophy, giving the 2026 edition a distinct visual identity as African futsal continues to expand.
