CAF last month said they ‌were reversing last December’s unpopular decision by the organisation’s executive ‌committee to move the tournament ⁠to every ‌four years, from a biennial event, ​and are now looking for hosts for the ​2028, 2031 and 2033 editions.

CAF have written to its 54 member ⁠associations inviting ​bids to host one of the three tournaments. It has set a deadline of next ‌Tuesday for associations to complete a declaration of intent and December 8 to submit all bid documentation, including government guarantees.

The next Cup of Nations finals in 2027 are being co-hosted by Kenya, Tanzania and Uganda ‌from June 19 to July ​17.

CAF had previously confirmed that ‌it had received three bids to host the 2028 tournament from Ethiopia, Morocco, and a joint bid from Botswana, Namibia, ⁠South ⁠Africa and Zimbabwe.
