The Confederation of African Football (CAF) is set to make a crucial decision on Friday, June 21, 2024, regarding the scheduling of the much-anticipated 2025 AFCON in Morocco.
The Executive Committee led by President Patrice Motsepe will meet virtually at 1400 GMT to discuss various important matters, including the dates for upcoming continental championships.
The determination of the tournament’s timing is of utmost importance as it will play a significant role in its success and avoid any conflicts with other major football events.
CAF has the responsibility to consider the interests of all stakeholders, including teams, players, and sponsors, in order to ensure a well-planned and organized tournament.
A well-timed AFCON will only enhance the overall experience for all involved, while a poorly scheduled one may result in clashes and logistical challenges.
Last month, there were speculations about the possibility of the 2025 Africa Cup of Nations in Morocco being rescheduled, causing uncertainty among fans and teams.
However, the draw for the qualifiers will take place next month, marking the beginning of the journey for teams across Africa to secure a spot in the 2025 championship.
It is worth noting that the last two AFCON tournaments were also affected by the impact of COVID-19, resulting in rescheduling.
The 2021 edition was delayed, and the most recent one was held in 2024 instead of 2023.
