Tangier is undergoing an unprecedented transformation.
Hosting the 2025 Africa Cup of Nations has triggered a wave of investment and infrastructure projects that are having a direct impact on the property market.
But what makes 2025 so special for investors?
Why buy in Tangier now rather than later?
The AFCON 2025 Effect: A Historic Opportunity for Tangier
AFCON 2025, scheduled to take place between January and February, will put Morocco in the global spotlight.
Tangier, which will host several major matches, is at the heart of this initiative.
The already impressive Grand Stade Ibn Battouta! is being expanded to accommodate up to 87,000 spectators, according to an article published by Le360 Sport.
New international-standard hotels are being developed, while road and port infrastructure is being modernised.
Whenever a major sporting event has been held in a host city, the property market has experienced a significant boom. During the 2010 World Cup in South Africa, some areas saw property prices rise by more than 30% over three years.
Given its strategic geographical location and dynamic economy, Tangier could well follow this trend. As early as 2024, ANCFCC (National Agency for Land Conservation) recorded a 14% increase in property transactions in the Tangier region compared with the previous year.
An Inevitable Rise in Property Prices in Tangier
Put simply, the more people a city attracts, the greater the demand for housing. Meanwhile, supply is naturally constrained by construction capacity and delivery times.
According to a report by ONMT, more than one million additional visitors are expected to travel to Morocco during AFCON 2025, with a significant concentration in the northern cities. For Tangier alone, the influx could reach 300,000 tourists during the six-week event.
Today, the average price per m² in Tangier’s most sought-after neighbourhoods (Malabata, Iberia and the City Centre) ranges from DH 13,000 to DH 16,000 for higher-end properties. Property experts estimate that in 2025, these prices could increase by 15–20%! Creating a genuine leverage effect for owners who buy in Tangier!
Those who buy before the event will benefit both from rapid capital appreciation and strong rental income potential.
Invest Now to Prepare for the Post-AFCON Period
Investing before a major event is not simply about betting on rising prices. It is also about positioning yourself for what comes afterwards. Tangier is not being modernised for six weeks of football, but for decades of growth. In fact, this is an excellent time to invest, especially as the government has launched the Daam Sakane programme, which can provide significant financial support.

The city is part of the national Vision 2030 development plan, with major projects such as the expansion of the Tanger Med port, the construction of the Mohammed VI Tangier Tech City and the extension of the High-Speed Rail Line to Marrakech, the launch of which was confirmed by Médias24.
In other words, investing in Tangier today means betting on a city that combines immediate appeal with long-term growth potential.
