TECNO, the AI-powered smartphone brand known for its game-changing tech, is stepping up to the big leagues once again, officially joining forces with the Confederation of African Football (CAF) as the Official Global Partner of the TotalEnergies Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON) tournaments in Morocco 2025 and Kenya-Uganda-Tanzania 2027.
After scoring big as the exclusive smartphone sponsor at AFCON 2023, TECNO is now ready to take its commitment even further, bringing its fearless “Stop at Nothing” spirit to millions of passionate fans across the continent.
This isn’t just a sponsorship, it’s a powerful partnership where TECNO will be the exclusive smartphone brand lighting up the pitch and powering up fan experiences with innovative AI-driven technology.
The brand will enjoy prime media and social media activation rights, allowing it to connect deeply with Africa’s vibrant youth, share the joy of football, and inspire a new generation to dream bigger and push harder.
Benjamin Jiang, Vice President of Transsion Holdings, shared his excitement.
“This renewed partnership with CAF reflects the strong trust and shared success we’ve built. Football is more than a game, it’s a spark that ignites passion and fuels dreams across Africa.”
Powered by AI, our technologies are helping millions connect, create, and grow. Together, we’re building a future where young talents can shine brighter and push the limits of what’s possible.”
Beyond the stadiums, TECNO is continuing its “Dream on the Field” Renovation Campaign, launched in 2024 with CAF.
This grassroots initiative is all about giving back, revamping football fields in underserved communities to create better opportunities for young players to develop their skills and chase their dreams.
CAF General Secretary Véron Mosengo-Omba emphasized the impact.
“TECNO’s unwavering support has been a game-changer for African football. AFCON is the continent’s ultimate football celebration, a tournament where dreams are made and legends are born.”
“Deepening this partnership will take the excitement and reach of AFCON 2025 and 2027 to new heights, thrilling fans everywhere.”
For TECNO, this partnership is more than branding, it’s a celebration of African talent, ambition, and progress.
Leveraging its cutting-edge imaging tech, performance, and sleek design, TECNO is winning hearts on and off the pitch, empowering the next generation to stop at nothing in their pursuit of greatness.
