Algeria, Morocco, South Africa, Zambia, and Benin-Nigeria were the countries who contested for the race to replace Guinea as tournament host for the 2025 edition.
In 2014, Guinea was chosen as the host nation for the African national team tournament. However, due to little progress in preparations, the West African nation withdrew from hosting the biennial event last year.
The next AFCON will be held in the Côte d’Ivoire in January and February 2024, after it was postponed from June and July this year in order to avoid the West African rainy season.
