Nigeria-Benin Bid For 2025 AFCON, CAF To Inspect Countries

The Confederation of African Football (CAF) has announced the dates for the inspection visits that will take place in the candidate countries to decide on the host of the 2025 African Cup of Nations (AFCON).
The inspection visits will last for three days in each candidate country, and the decision on the host country will be announced after the final visit.
Nigeria and Benin have presented a joint bid to host the 2025 AFCON, and the duo will battle with Zambia, Morocco, and Algeria for the tournament’s hosting rights.
CAF’s inspection visits will commence in Southern Africa, with Zambia being the first country to receive CAF inspectors from March 20-22, followed by Morocco from March 24-26. Algeria will be the third candidate country to be visited by inspectors from March 27-29. The fourth and final inspection visit will be reserved for the Nigeria-Benin duo from March 31 to April 2.
Nigeria has hosted the AFCON twice, first in 1980 and together with Ghana in 2000, the first time two nations co-hosted the continent’s premier championship.
