Caf reviews potential move for Afcon to remain biennial

The Confederation of African Football (Caf) is reconsidering a decision to switch the Africa Cup of Nations (Afcon) from a two-year to a four-year cycle. Discussions were held at a Caf strategy conference in Cape Verde, where President Patrice Motsepe confirmed that the possibility of retaining the biennial format is under review. This consideration comes after widespread criticism from national associations regarding the implications of the proposed change. The tournament has been held every two years since 1968, except for a one-year gap between the 2012 and 2013 editions. Caf previously announced the transition to a four-year system to begin after the 2027 event, which has drawn concerns about team visibility and commercial impact.
