CAF Reverts to Biennial AFCON Schedule
AFCON to take place every 2 years
The Confederation of African Football (CAF) has decided to revert to its original schedule of hosting the Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON) every two years.
After the 2027 tournament, which will be co-hosted by Kenya, Uganda, and Tanzania, subsequent AFCONs will take place in 2028, 2031, and 2033.
This decision was made by the CAF executive committee, which had previously considered switching to a quadrennial tournament.
Background
The change in schedule is reportedly due to the need for the AFCON to continue generating substantial financial resources for African football to remain competitive.
