Top 6 Best-Dressed Countries At AFCON 2025: Nigeria Leads The Fashion Parade

The Africa Cup of Nations is not just a football tournament—it’s also a celebration of culture, heritage, and style. As the participating countries landed in Morocco ahead of AFCON 2025, fans and fashion enthusiasts alike couldn’t help but notice the stunning traditional outfits worn by the players.

Here’s a look at the top 6 best-dressed countries heading into the tournament:

1. Nigeria
The Super Eagles have long been leaders on and off the pitch, and their fashion sense is no exception. Landing in Morocco for AFCON 2025, the team wore custom-made green native attire, featuring high-quality fabric and intricate flower embroidery on the chest. Matching caps and leather shoes completed the look, making Nigeria the undisputed fashion leaders of the tournament.

2. Senegal
The Lions of Teranga brought elegance and sophistication in white boubous. Their attire combined traditional African fashion with a modern touch, reflecting the team’s confidence and style as they stepped off the plane.

3. Mali
Mali arrived in traditional Bazin Boubou, a three-piece outfit in blue and white tones. The colors symbolize peace, serenity, and purity, and the hand-dyed glossy fabric highlights Malian cultural heritage. This ensemble perfectly balanced tradition and tournament-ready flair.

4. Benin Republic
Benin’s team made a bold statement with vibrant ceremonial robes in grey and white with vertical stripes. The outfits reflect West African traditional styles like the boubou or kaftan, showing off the nation’s rich cultural identity.

5. Zimbabwe
Known as the Warriors, Zimbabwe’s squad opted for tailored black suits accented with green, gold, red, and black—the colors of the national flag. Designed by 4May International, the outfits blended modern tailoring with heritage-inspired details, earning them a place among the best-dressed teams.

6. Comoros
The Comoros national team arrived in Morocco wearing traditional white robes called kandu or kanzu, paired with embroidered caps (kofia). Some players layered grey or black jackets over the robes, creating a clean and stylish cultural statement.

AFCON 2025 proves that football and fashion go hand in hand, with these countries showing that representing your nation extends far beyond the pitch.
