Africa Cup of Nations News

Latest news for the Africa Cup of Nations, the international men's football championship of Africa that is held every two years. The 2025 edition of the tournament was held in Morocco where the hosts initially finished runners up to Senegal in a dramatic final. However, two months after the tournament ended the 2025 title was awarded to Morocco after CAF ruled that Senegal broke AFCON rules when several of their players left the field without the referee's authorisation.

Egypt are considered the most successful side in the competition's history, having won seven titles since the tournament began in 1957. Senegal are the current defending champions after they won their second AFCON title in the 2025 edition. The next tournament is set to be held in 2027 with Kenya, Tanzania and Uganda acting as host nations.
