A few months ago, Uganda erupted in excitement as the Cranes qualified for the Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON 2025) tournament taking place in Morocco this December 2025. The dream has become even more electrifying with the official draw placing Uganda in what many are calling this tournament's "Group of Death." 

The Uganda Cranes have been drawn into Group C, alongside continental powerhouse Nigeria’s Super Eagles, North African giants Tunisia, and regional rivals Tanzania. This challenging group guarantees thrilling matchups against some of Africa's most formidable football nations. 

For Ugandans, this is a chance to witness the Uganda Cranes in continental action. But the one thing on everyone’s mind is - let’s be honest - international travel isn't cheap. The costs of traveling to Morocco for AFCON 2025, are shocking for the average Ugandan, especially when you consider flights, accommodation, match tickets, food, transport... the list goes on. For many fans, this might seem like an impossible dream. 

But here's the thing: with proper planning and consistent saving, we believe this dream is absolutely achievable and the key is to start saving early and be strategic.  

Understanding The Playing Field 

In helping over 300,000 clients achieve their financial goals, we’ve learnt how to spot common pitfalls that make scoring your financial goals impossible. Here is where all good financial plans fall apart: 

1. Underestimating total costs 
2. Not planning far enough ahead 
3. Trying to save without a system 
4. Waiting until it's too late to make a down payment for a house, start saving for retirement or in this case book visas, affordable flights and accommodation – all resulting in missed opportunities and extra costs.  

The AFCON Dream vs. Financial Reality 

In total, anyone planning to travel to Morocco for AFCON 2025 is looking at spending somewhere between UGX 9.9M to 43M for the full experience, depending on how luxuriously they want to travel. 

Your Ticket to AFCON is here 

This is where XENO’s Tulumbe Morocco goal comes in. We’ve created a custom goal that makes saving for AFCON 2025 simple, automated, and effective. Here's how it works:  

1. Choose Your Plan 

• Budget Plan: Perfect for the no-frills fan who just wants to be there. This includes budget flights, affordable accommodation, and essentials. 
• Comfort Plan: The middle ground with standard flights, comfort hotels, and a more comfortable experience. 
• Luxury Plan: For those who want to do AFCON in style with premium flights, luxury hotels, and all the extras. 

2. Set Up Automated Savings 

Once you've chosen your plan, XENO calculates exactly how much you need to save each month to reach your goal. You can set up automatic payments through MTN Mobile Money.  

Fans can also deposit manually via Airtel Money or Bank transfer. 

3. Track Your Progress 

The XENO dashboard lets you monitor your savings in real-time. You'll see exactly how close you are to your goal and get updates if travel costs change. 

4. Save with Friends 

One of our favorite features is the option to save as a group. You can: 

• Create a joint goal with friends or family 
• Track everyone's contributions 
• Motivate each other to stay on track 
• Potentially access group discounts when booking 

Imagine experiencing AFCON with your closest friends, all because you planned and saved together! 

Beyond the Matches: Making the Most of Morocco 

And if the football is not enough for you- we won’t judge - Morocco offers incredible experiences beyond the stadium: 

• Explore the vibrant markets of Marrakech 
• Visit the stunning blue city of Chefchaouen 
• Experience the coastal beauty of Casablanca 
• Discover the rich history and architecture throughout the country 

With proper financial planning through XENO, you can budget not just for the matches, but for these amazing experiences too. 

Why You Need to Start Now  

This December, history awaits as Uganda's finest footballers step onto these grand stages to face the continent's best. When the Cranes take the field in Morocco, will you be watching from a small screen in Kampala, or cheering from the stands in Rabat? 

The Tulumbe Morocco goal is only available until November 13th, 2025. After that, you won't be able to sign up for this custom saving plan. More importantly, the earlier you start saving, the less you need to put aside each month. Wait too long, and you might find the monthly contribution requirement too steep.
