MOROCCO have been announced as the host for the CAF Africa Cup of Nations 2025.

The decision comes after Guinea was stripped of the right to host the tournament last year. Morocco won by default after Algeria, Zambia and a joint bid from Benin and Nigeria all withdrew before the vote of the Confederation of African Football’s executive committee in Cairo on Wednesday.

The North African country was a runaway favourite and will see the decision as a boost to their hopes of co-hosting the 2030 World Cup with Portugal and Spain.

CAF has also announced that Kenya, Uganda and Tanzania will be the hosts for the 2027 edition of the competition.
