The Confederation of African Football (Caf) has decided to maintain the Africa Cup of Nations (Afcon) on a biennial schedule, reversing a previous decision to shift to a four-year cycle. Caf President Patrice Motsepe stated that this change aims to better serve the interests of African football, especially in light of the tournament's significant role in generating revenue for the organization.
Concerns were raised regarding the decision-making process, as the initial four-year plan was made without broader consultation among member nations. The upcoming Afcon tournaments are set for 2025 in Morocco and 2027 in Kenya, Tanzania, and Uganda, with the next tournament in 2028 still on schedule.
