Hosts sought for three future Africa Cup of Nations finals

CAPE TOWN: Hosts for three future Africa Cup of Nations finals are being sought by the Confederation of African Football after going back on their decision to hold the tournament every four years.

CAF last month said they were reversing last December’s unpopular decision by the organization’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.
