The Confederation of African Football has set December 21, 2025, as the date for the next Africa Cup of Nations.
The 28-day continental event, which will be staged in Morocco, will end on January 18, 2026.
The decision was taken at CAF’s Executive Council Meeting on Friday after months of uncertainty.
The President of CAF, Dr. Patrice Motsepe, said: “I am confident that the AFCON Morocco 2025 will be extremely successful and will be the best AFCON in the history of this competition.”
The draw for the qualifiers is slated for July 4, 2024, with 48 nations, including Ghana, set to compete for slots at the tournament.
Ivory Coast are the defending champions after hosting and winning the title with a 2-1 win against Nigeria in the 2023 edition.
