The TECNO Glory Night Awards, jointly organised by TECNO, TikTok Live and the Confederation of African Football (CAF), celebrated the creativity and influence of pan-African key opinion leaders (KOLs), spotlighting content powered by TECNO AI.
The awards were held under TECNO’s “Power Your Moment” campaign, launched during the Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON). The campaign has gained widespread adoption among creators across the continent, inspiring a wave of original content that highlights defining moments of creativity, joy, growth and self-expression.
Following its elevation to Official Global Partner of AFCON, TECNO convened some of Africa’s most influential digital voices in Morocco for the landmark event. The ceremony honoured creators whose authenticity, innovation and cultural impact reflect the spirit of Power Your Moment and the evolving landscape of African digital storytelling.
Influencers from more than 20 African countries attended the event, alongside AFCON football legends, media partners and senior TECNO executives. The gathering represented a rare convergence of creative talent, cultural leadership and digital influence on the continent.
