💨 Abstract

Organizers of the Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON) 2025 in Morocco are allowing fans to enter stadiums for free after kick-off if the stands are not full. This move aims to fill empty seats, especially important as Morocco prepares to co-host the 2030 World Cup. The strategy has been observed in several matches, with crowds significantly increasing after the game started. Official attendance figures have also been corrected in some cases due to the late influx of spectators.
