The Confederation of African Football (CAF) has reopened the call for bids to host the 2028, 2031 and 2033 Africa Cup of Nations, restoring the tournament’s biennial rhythm. The 2028 edition remains unchanged, while the 2031 and 2033 editions will replace the editions that had been slated for 2032 and 2036.

All 54 CAF member associations are invited to submit proposals. Associations that have already lodged an expression of interest need not file a new one. Bids may be submitted by a single country or jointly by several, and members may apply for more than one edition.

The deadline for declarations of interest is 17 November 2026 at 18:00 Cairo time; requests for clarification must be sent by 24 November 2026, also at 18:00 Cairo time. Full applications are due by 8 December 2026 at 18:00 Cairo time.

CAF will evaluate the dossiers according to transparent criteria and will later announce the hosts for the three tournaments.
