CAF Invites Bids for 2028, 2031, and 2033 AFCON Hosting

The Confederation of African Football (CAF) has initiated the bidding process for the hosting rights of the 2028, 2031, and 2033 Africa Cup of Nations. This decision follows the abandonment of a previous proposal to alter the tournament's cycle from two years to four years.

CAF has informed all 54 member associations that declarations of intent are due by next Tuesday, with complete bid submissions, including government guarantees, required by December 8. For the 2028 edition, interest has already been expressed by Ethiopia, Morocco, and a joint bid from Botswana, Namibia, South Africa, and Zimbabwe.

The 2027 Africa Cup of Nations is set to be co-hosted by Kenya, Tanzania, and Uganda from June 19 to July 17.
