The2025Africa Cup of Nations, also referred to asAFCON 2025 orCAN 2025, is scheduled to be the 35th edition of the biennial Africanfootball tournament organised by theConfederation of African Football (CAF).[1] It will be hosted byMorocco for the second time and the first since1988.[2] Morocco was originally scheduled to hostthe 2015 edition, but withdrew due to fears stemming from theWestern African Ebola virus epidemic.[3]

Due toFIFA expanding itsClub World Cup competition to 32 teams and having itscheduled for June and July that year, this edition of the tournament will be played between 21 December 2025 and 18 January 2026.[4] The situation has been further complicated by the addition of two extra match days scheduled for the last two weeks of January in the expanded Champions League that begins this season in Europe.[5]

This edition of the tournament was scheduled to be the second after2019 to take place during the northern hemisphere's summer (June-July), in order to reduce scheduling conflicts with European club teams and competitions;[6] the previous2023 edition was moved to January and February 2024 owing to the adverse summer weather conditions in Ivory Coast.[7]Guinea was originally set as hosts for this edition of the tournament, but had its hosting rights stripped after affirming its inadequacy of hosting preparations.[8][9] After a second bidding process,[10] Morocco was named as the new hosts on 27 September 2023.[11]Ivory Coast arethe defending champions.[12]

Host selection

[edit]

CAF stripped Cameroon from hostingthe 2019 edition of the tournament on 30 November 2018 due lack of speed of progress in preparations,[13] but accepted former CAF presidentAhmad Ahmad's request to stagethe next edition in 2021. Consequently, the original hosts of 2021, Ivory Coast, became hosts ofthe 2023 edition with Guinea instead hosting the 2025 edition, which until then had no hosts.[14] The CAF President confirmed the timetable shift after a meeting with Ivorian presidentAlassane Ouattara inAbidjan, Ivory Coast on 30 January 2019.[15] On 30 September 2022, current CAF president Patrice Motsepe announced thatGuinea had been stripped as host for the 2025 edition due to inadequacy and speed of progress in hosting preparations.[8] Consequently, a new process was re-opened for a replacement host bidder.[10][16] On 27 September 2023, the 2025 edition was awarded toMorocco[11] and the 2027 edition toKenya,Uganda, andTanzania.[17][18]

The eight teams were split into four ties which were played in home-and-awaytwo-legged format.[20] The four winners:Chad,Eswatini,Liberia andSouth Sudan advanced to the group stage to join the 44 teams which entered directly.[22] The group stage draw took place on 4 July 2024, 14:30CAT (UTC+2) inJohannesburg, South Africa.
