American YouTube sensation Darren Jason Watkins Jr., popularly known as IShowSpeed, has confirmed that he will go live during the Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON) final, set to be played later today at the Prince Moulay Abdellah Stadium in Rabat, Morocco.

IShowSpeed captioned the teaser, sparking excitement among his millions of followers worldwide.
The AFCON final promises a blockbuster showdown as hosts Morocco face defending champions Senegal, led by star forward Sadio Mané. For Morocco, the stakes are historic — the Atlas Lions are chasing their first AFCON title in 50 years, having last lifted the trophy in 1976.
Kick-off is scheduled for 19:00 GMT, with an electric atmosphere expected at the 69,000-capacity Prince Moulay Abdellah Stadium. The home crowd is anticipated to rally firmly behind Morocco, captained by African Player of the Year and PSG right-back Achraf Hakimi.
IShowSpeed’s presence at the final adds a global digital spotlight to African football’s biggest night, blending online entertainment culture with the continent’s most prestigious sporting event. His Morocco tour stream is expected to attract millions of viewers, further amplifying AFCON’s reach to younger and international audiences.
As football and pop culture collide in Rabat, all eyes will be on both the pitch — and the livestream.
