Ethiopia Seeks Africa Cup Hosting
Ethiopia officially submitted its bid to host the 2028 Africa Cup of Nations, marking the first opportunity to host the tournament in over half a century, as the last time was in 1976. This bid is fully supported by the federal government, led by Prime Minister Abiy Ahmed, and the Ethiopian Football Federation affirms that the bid meets all requirements and demonstrates the country's readiness to host the major event. It is worth noting that Ethiopia is situated at an altitude exceeding 2,300 meters, making it one of the highest capitals in the world. The country previously hosted the 1976 edition, which was won by Morocco, and is preparing to host the 2025 edition in Morocco. The bid aims to host Africa's largest football tournament amid competition from several countries, as the continent adopts a new system where tournaments are held every four years instead of every two.
