It’s Out Again: Sports Market International March- May 2025 Edition

This publication is reintroducing itself with renewed vigor. Following a brief hiatus for content enhancement and logistical improvements, we are pleased to present the inaugural edition of the esteemed SMI Magazine. This edition features a detailed examination of the recent AFCON 2025 draw, during which Morocco committed to hosting a memorable tournament and has provided a glimpse of what to expect in December 2025 and January 2026 through an impressive draw.
