"Motsepe said that the 2027 Africa Cup, to be hosted by Uganda, Kenya and Tanzania, will go ahead as planned and that the following edition originally scheduled for 2029 will be moved forward to take place in 2028. The next Africa Cup after that will be in 2032. This would allow the first African Nations League to take place in 2029."
"Motsepe said it would involve each of the continent's 54 members, divided into four geographical zones, with games in September and October before the finals are held in November. What is new is that in Africa there's going to be a competition every year where the best African players who play in Europe and worldwide will be with us on the continent, Motsepe said."
CAF is restructuring continental competitions by converting the Africa Cup of Nations from a biennial tournament to a four-year cycle, with the 2027 edition hosted by Uganda, Kenya and Tanzania, the 2028 edition moved forward from 2029, and the next scheduled for 2032. The changes create calendar space for the inaugural African Nations League in 2029. The Nations League will include all 54 CAF members, split into four geographic zones, staging matches in September and October with finals in November. Officials have not yet determined whether the Nations League will be annual or biennial.
