Morocco Named Best African Country in Tennis for 7th Year in a Row
Rabat – The African Tennis Confederation has once again named Morocco the 'Best Nation's Trophy' for the year 2025. This is the seventh year in a row that Morocco has received the honor.
'For the 7th consecutive year, Morocco takes home the Best Nation's Trophy, thanks to their top performances across all age categories at the African Junior Championships,' said the Confederation of African Tennis in a statement.
The recognition comes in the wake of the strong performances of young Moroccan tennis players in African tournaments. Moroccan players competed in different age categories and achieved great results this year.
In a letter sent on Wednesday, the President of the African Tennis Confederation, Jean Claude Talon, informed the President of the Royal Moroccan Tennis Federation, Fayçal Laraichi, about the award.
He said that Morocco earned this recognition based on its players' success in the Under-14, Under-16, and Under-18 African championships held in 2025. Morocco also collected important points during the Under-14 African championship that took place in the last quarter of 2024.
The official award will be handed to Morocco during the closing ceremony of the African Team Championship for the Under-14 category. The event will be held in Cairo, Egypt, from May 5 to 10.
Following behind Morocco is Tunisia in second place and Egypt in third. 'Well done to the Royal Moroccan Federation of Tennis and to all the nations for their efforts and sportsmanship throughout the year!' the confederation concluded.
