AFCON to Return to Every Two Years From 2027
The Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON) is set to return to its traditional format of being held every two years, starting from 2027.
The announcement means African football’s biggest international tournament will once again follow its familiar biennial schedule after discussions surrounding changes to the competition’s calendar.
AFCON has traditionally been organised every two years, giving national teams across the continent regular opportunities to compete for the prestigious African title.
The return to a two-year cycle from 2027 will be significant for African football, particularly for players, national teams and supporters who have followed the tournament’s long-standing tradition.
The competition remains one of the biggest events in international football, bringing together Africa’s top national teams to compete for continental supremacy.
With the 2027 edition marking the beginning of the return to the traditional schedule, attention will now turn to how the new calendar will shape the future of African football.
