CAF Reverts AFCON to Two-Year Cycle
- On Thursday, the Confederation of African Football announced that the CAF Africa Cup will return to a two-year cycle, reversing an earlier plan to move to a four-year schedule.
- The CAF Executive Committee reversed the decision because the proposed CAF Nations League would take years to generate enough revenue to sustain African Football, CAF said in a statement.
- CAF President Patrice Motsepe stated the return to a two-year cycle aims to promote the interests of African Football and the 54 CAF Member Associations, as well as players competing abroad.
- Kenya, Tanzania, and Uganda will jointly host the 2027 AFCON, marking the first time the three East African countries will co-host the competition.
- The tournament will not be held in 2030, as CAF maintains its tradition of avoiding World Cup years, with subsequent tournaments confirmed for 2031 and 2033.
