The Confederation of African Football (CAF) has re-opened
bids for the 2025 Africa Cup of Nations.
Guinea was initially awarded the hosting right but CAF
formally stripped the West African nation the rights last weekend.
CAF took the decision after Guinea, one of the poorest
nations on the continent, formally stated it was not ready to host the
competition.
CAF President, Patrice Motsepe and the general secretary,
Veron Moshengo-Omba held a meeting with Guinea’s interim president, Colonel
Mamady Doumbouya at the weekend.
Guinea’s inability was due to its infrastructure and
facilities not being ready to host a 24-team tournament.
Cote d’ voire will host the next edition of the AFCON in
2023.
