The President of CAF Dr. Patrice Motsepe said: “The CAF Executive Committee took important unanimous decisions which will make significant contributions to the sustainability, global competitiveness and attractiveness of football on the African Continent.

“We will be meeting again in Cairo on Wednesday 27 September 2023 to discuss and take decisions relating to the countries that will be awarded the TotalEnergies AFCON 2025 and the AFCON 2027.
