CAF to Host AFCON Every Two Years Instead of Four

The CAF has officially decided to revert to hosting the Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON) every two years instead of every four. This decision was made unanimously by the executive committee during a meeting that took place overnight. The return to a biennial competition means that the continental tournament will remain a fixture in the football calendar, allowing for increased opportunities for nations across Africa to compete on a regular basis. The news comes alongside discussions about the future of the African Nations League, although further details on that are yet to be released.
