Afcon to return to two-year cycle after Caf U-turn

The Africa Cup of Nations (Afcon) will return to its traditional two-year cycle after the Confederation of African Football (Caf) reversed its December decision to hold the tournament every four years. The announcement was reported on October 30, 2026. Additionally, Morocco were confirmed as winners of Afcon 2025 after Senegal's initial victory was overturned.
