Morocco to Host 2025 Africa Cup of Nations in Early 2026
The Confederation of African Football (CAF) has confirmed a revised schedule for the 2025 Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON), with the tournament now set to take place in Morocco in early 2026. This decision follows a scheduling conflict with the expanded 32-team Club World Cup, scheduled for June 15 to July 13, 2025, in the United States.
Initially slated for June 2025, the AFCON tournament will be postponed by six months to avoid a clash with the Club World Cup. This move aims to ensure a smooth and focused competition for participating teams and players, free from the constraints of a congested football calendar.
Morocco's hosting of the AFCON tournament in early 2026 is expected to provide an exceptional platform for the continent's top football nations to compete. The revised schedule will allow for optimal team preparation, organization, and fan engagement, ultimately enhancing the overall tournament experience.
Further details regarding the specific dates and logistics of the rescheduled AFCON tournament will be announced in due course by CAF and the Royal Moroccan Football Federation.
