CAN on the move again as CAF deprives Guinea of the organization of 2025

September 2 - The Confederation of African Football (CAF) has reportedly deprived Guinea of the rights to host the 2025 Africa Cup of Nations, the continent's flagship event.

"The Executive Committee was unanimous that Guinea will not be ready to host the competition," CAF wrote in a statement. "The Executive Committee has made a unanimous decision based on the report as submitted that the tournament be withdrawn from Guinea."

“The President suggested that a delegation be sent to Guinea to inform them of the decision taken by the EXCO. The Executive Committee decided to send a delegation to Guinea to inform them of the decision of CAF to withdraw the Guinea 2025 Africa Cup of Nations from Guinea."

At the end of August, CAF Secretary General Veron Mosengo Omba met Guinean Head of State Mamady Doumbouya, but the latest decision once again throws the African football calendar and CAF into turmoil. This means that CAF has failed to hold the tournament at the appointed host at the appointed time over the past decade.

In 2011, Morocco won the hosting rights for the 2015 tournament and Libya won the 2013 tournament, but the 2011 Libyan civil war prompted Libya and South Africa to trade years , with South Africa stepping in to save the 2013 competition and Libya hosting the tournament in 2017. But fighting in Libya led CAF to move the tournament to Gabon in 2017.

The 2015 edition had its own problems when the Ebola virus spread and Morocco withdrew from hosting the final due to concerns about the virus, so the governing body moved the Africa Cup of Nations to Equatorial Guinea.

Egypt took over hosting rights from Cameroon in 2019 after doubts emerged that the West African nation had the capacity to host an expanded 24-team format.< /p>
The 2023 final in Ivory Coast has been moved to 2024, CAF confirmed in July.
