AFCON to Be Played Every Four Years Starting 2028, Says CAF President
The Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON) will transition to a four-year cycle starting in 2028, according to CAF President Patrice Motsepe. Previously held every two years, this move aims to align the tournament with the global football calendar.
The decision comes after years of the tournament experiencing gaps in 2012 and 2013. The new structure is expected to bring excitement and harmony to African football.
Motsepe highlighted the significance of synchronizing AFCON with the global calendar to enhance the sport's competitiveness and appeal.
