The Confederation of African Football (CAF) President, Patrice Motsepe, revealed that the Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON) will transition to a four-year cycle beginning in 2028, moving away from the current biennial format. Additionally, Motsepe announced the establishment of the African Nations League, set to take place annually starting in 2029.
