“Players” is the second track on RedOne’s official AFCON 2025/26 soundtrack album, A.W.A.M., bringing together Rema, Mohamed Ramadan and Patoranking on a single record built for the tournament. The video leans into that scale: rather than one set piece, it moves across several distinct backdrops to reflect the different sides of Morocco as host nation, from desert to palace to raw studio energy, mirroring the way the song itself shifts between Rema’s Afrobeats runs, Ramadan’s rap-driven verses and Patoranking’s dancehall hooks.

We ran the shoot across Ouarzazate, the Palais Namaskar and Jacaranda Studios in Marrakech, Le Bedouin, and the Agafay desert. A palace shoot needs a different crew setup than a desert shoot, and a different permit than a studio. We planned the route so the crew could strike one location and be ready to shoot the next the same day, without burning a day in between on travel.
