As TECNO elevates its long-standing relationship with AFCON into its new role as the Official Global Partner for 2025–2027, the brand brought together Africa’s leading digital voices for a landmark celebration in Morocco — the TECNO Glory Night Awards.

This signature event spotlighted influencers whose creativity, authenticity, and cultural impact embody the spirit of Power Your Moment.

The ceremony was conceived as a tribute to individuals who, through storytelling, creativity, and cultural influence, are shaping the future of digital expression across the continent.

Influencers from more than twenty African countries attended the evening, joined by AFCON football legends, media partners, TECNO executives, and key stakeholders from across the ecosystem.

Kenya was strongly represented at the event, with over 30 delegates in attendance, comprising business partners and officials, influencers, media personalities, and content creators.

The Kenyan delegation highlighted the country’s growing influence in Africa’s digital, creative, and sports marketing landscape, as well as its strong engagement with AFCON and the Power Your Moment campaign.
