African Cup of Nations to Resume Biennial Schedule After CAF Reversal
CAF has decided to revert the African Cup of Nations to its traditional two-year cycle following a recent review.
According to BBC Sport, The Confederation of African Football (CAF) has announced that the African Cup of Nations (Afcon) will return to being held every two years. This decision reverses the earlier plan made in December to stage the tournament every four years.
The move aims to maintain the tournament's traditional frequency, which has been a key part of African football's competitive calendar. The review that led to this U-turn considered the impact of the four-year cycle on the sport and its stakeholders.
Fans and teams can now expect the Afcon to continue as a biennial event, preserving its role as a major fixture in African football.
