The Confederation of African Football (CAF) is reviewing whether the Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON) should remain a biennial tournament, according to Patrice Motsepe, CAF’s president. Multiple outlets report that discussions are under way to reverse CAF’s earlier plan to move AFCON to a four-year cycle after 2028.
The reports state that the change proposal is being reconsidered by CAF, with some coverage noting that criticism followed the decision to shift to every four years. BBC Sport and other outlets describe the process as a review rather than a final reversal, while Nigerian outlets say the idea of returning to the traditional two-year schedule is being discussed. Another report adds that CAF’s executive committee is expected to consider the four-year hosting plan as part of the deliberations. Overall, the story centers on CAF’s effort to decide the next structure of AFCON in the wider African football calendar, with outcomes not yet confirmed.
