AFCON to be held every four years from 2028

After much deliberation and consultation, the African Cup of Nations (AFCON) will now be held every four years starting from 2028. This decision comes after concerns were raised about the frequency of the tournament and its impact on players and clubs.

The decision to move AFCON to a four-year cycle was made in order to align the tournament with other major international competitions such as the FIFA World Cup and the UEFA European Championship. This will also give players more time to rest and recover in between tournaments.

Fans have mixed reactions to the news, with some expressing disappointment at having to wait longer for the tournament, while others believe it will make the competition more prestigious and exciting.

The Confederation of African Football (CAF) has assured fans that they are working to ensure that the quality of the tournament remains high despite the changes in its schedule. They are also exploring ways to make AFCON more accessible to fans around the world through digital platforms.

Overall, it is hoped that the new four-year cycle will bring a fresh and exciting dimension to AFCON, making it one of the most anticipated football tournaments in the world.
