KAF studies restoring Africa Cup schedule
The African Football Confederation (CAF) is considering returning to holding the Africa Cup of Nations every two years instead of every four, after previously deciding to make it quadrennial starting from 2028. This decision faced widespread opposition across the continent. The main reasons are the strained relations between FIFA and UEFA and their impact on organizing the tournament, as well as the financial losses estimated at one billion dollars resulting from reducing the number of editions, which led to the cancellation of commercial rights that were still under negotiation. If the decision is made to revert to the previous schedule, it will require reworking the tournament calendar, as well as broadcasting and sponsorship plans. The CAF remains eager to offset these changes by launching the Africa Nations League starting in 2029.
