  • Africa Cup of Nations will transition to a four-year cycle from 2028.
  • The 2027 edition will be hosted by Uganda, Kenya, and Tanzania.
  • The new African Nations League will kick off in 2029.
  • This restructuring aims to fit better within the global football calendar.

The Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON) will be held every four years starting in 2028, a major change from its traditional biennial format. This announcement was made by Patrice Motsepe, the president of the Confederation of African Football (CAF), during a press conference ahead of the 2025 tournament in Morocco. The change aims to help structure African football better in light of a packed global calendar, while establishing a new annual African Nations League starting in 2029, according to BBC, Africanews, and Le Monde.
