The Confederation of African Football (CAF) is reconsidering its December decision to hold the Africa Cup of Nations every four years from 2028, president Patrice Motsepe said at a strategy conference in Cape Verde, adding that a return to a two-year cycle is under discussion. He rejected claims that CAF takes orders from FIFA or UEFA, after the change drew criticism at the 2025 tournament in Morocco from those who saw it as favouring European interests over African ones. Motsepe also confirmed the 2027 tournament will go ahead in Kenya, Tanzania and Uganda despite media reports of construction delays.
