TECNO has elevated its long standing relationship with the Africa Cup of Nations AFCON by assuming the role of Official Global Partner for the 2025 to 2027 period, marking the milestone with a continental celebration in Morocco, the TECNO Glory Night Awards.
The event brought together leading African digital creators to recognise influencers whose creativity, authenticity, and cultural impact reflect TECNO’s campaign theme, “Power Your Moment”.
Organised as a tribute to individuals shaping the future of digital expression across Africa, the ceremony attracted influencers from more than twenty African countries. They were joined by AFCON football legends, media partners, TECNO executives, and stakeholders from the technology, sports, and creative industries.
Kenya recorded a strong presence at the ceremony, with more than 30 delegates attending. The delegation included business partners, TECNO officials, influencers, media personalities, and content creators. Their participation underscored Kenya’s growing influence within Africa’s digital economy, creative industries, and sports marketing ecosystem, as well as the country’s active engagement with AFCON and the “Power Your Moment” campaign.
During the evening, TECNO presented five major awards recognising different dimensions of creative excellence across the continent.
The Moment Excellence Award, which honours creators who captured the emotional essence of the campaign through authentic storytelling, was won by Nigeria’s @ultimatekombo2, Tanzania’s @eng_makelele, and Morocco’s @hajar_arssalanee.
