AFCON every two years: Motsepe’s latest announcement

CAF president Patrice Motsepe said in Doha that a decision on the Africa Cup of Nations’ schedule would be announced soon. Early responses to a consultation of the CAF’s 54 member federations strongly favour returning to a tournament every two years, a format Motsepe says he has always supported. In December 2025, he announced that the competition would move to a four-year cycle after the 2027 and 2028 editions.
