The CAF Diaspora Tour for the TotalEnergies AFCON Morocco 2025 opened in London, and Stonebwoy was among the standout performers at the launch event. The kick-off, held at Piccadilly Circus, brought together football legends, active players, and leading African creatives for a cultural showcase that set the tone for the Tour’s next stops.
CAF Brings Football, Culture, and Music to London
CAF’s London event gathered an impressive lineup: Alex Song, Alex Iwobi, Odumodublvck, and former Arsenal vice-chairman David Dein. The idea behind the Tour is to engage African communities abroad ahead of AFCON 2025, merging sport, identity, and entertainment in cities where African culture thrives.
The London stop is the first of a two-city run, with Paris scheduled for December 3rd and 4th. The AFCON trophy will be present at the opening ceremony at Palais de Tokyo before returning to Morocco for the Tournament’s official Trophy Tour.
Stonebwoy Represents Ghana on a Global Stage
Stonebwoy’s presence at the London kick-off carried added meaning; he represented Ghana at the event, a point that resonated strongly with Ghanaian fans online. Many expressed pride seeing a Ghanaian artist positioned within such an important African sporting moment. Comments across X and Instagram reflected a shared sentiment: “Ghana showed up,” “Perfect representative,” and “Stonebwoy keeps carrying us well.”
For fans at home and in the diaspora, his performance felt like a cultural flag planted in the heart of London’s busiest public space.

Why Stonebwoy’s Involvement Matters Now
2024 and 2025 have been defining years for Stonebwoy. His album 5th Dimension earned international acclaim, placing him firmly within global reggae, dancehall, and Afrobeats conversations. He has performed across Europe, the Caribbean, and North America, consistently selling out venues and earning praise for his live-band arrangements and stage control.
His appearance at the CAF event aligns with this momentum; a Ghanaian artist whose voice and influence travel well across borders. For CAF, selecting Stonebwoy for the opening chapter of the Tour reinforces the importance of artists who connect across the diaspora and still stay grounded in their home identity.
A Strong Start Ahead of Paris
Stonebwoy’s performance added a celebratory note to the London launch, energizing the crowd and giving the Tour a lively start. With Paris next on the schedule, CAF is making a real effort to bring AFCON 2025 closer to Africans everywhere, and choosing artists like Stonebwoy helps keep that connection genuine, cultural, and alive.
