Published
The Confederation of African Football (CAF) has announced that it has reversed its decision to hold the Africa Cup of Nations every four years. At the same time, the confederation has set the dates for upcoming editions of the tournament, a significant step for football followers across the continent.
According to the confederation, the next edition of the Africa Cup of Nations will be held in 2027 across three countries: Kenya, Tanzania, and Uganda. These countries are working together to organise the tournament, which means matches will be played in more than one country.
As for the following editions, they will be held in 2028, 2031, and 2033. This schedule matters to fans and African national teams, including the Egyptian national team, because it defines the date of the next tournament and helps teams plan their matches and preparations.
With this decision, CAF has clarified the tournament's dates for the coming years. Football followers in Egypt can keep up with any new details through the confederation's official announcements.
