The Nigeria Football Federation, NFF, has hinted that the
country may host the 2025 All African Cup of Nations, AFCON.
Amaju Pinnick, the NFF President, disclosed that Nigeria was
in a favourable position to host the 2025 AFCON.
Pinnick disclosed this on Tuesday while addressing
journalists in Lagos.
He disclosed that CAF is likely withdrawing the hosting
right of the 2025 AFCON from Guinea.
According to Pinnick: “We are putting a bid together for a
co-hosting of the tournament with the Benin Republic.
“The Minister of Sports has given his endorsement on the
bidding.
“It is high time Nigeria hosted an international tournament
because there are many advantages attached to hosting of such competitions.
“There are many countries bidding for the competition; we
are confident of getting the nod from CAF.
” We are working with the ministry of sports to ensure that
Nigeria gets the hosting right.”
