Unexpected! The next 2025 African Cup of Nations in Morocco postponed until the summer. The reasons for this upheaval

Scheduled for the summer of 2025 in Morocco, the next African Cup of Nations will finally take place at the start of 2026, CAF Secretary General Veron Mosengo-Omba has just announced, who questioned this subject: “We could play the CAN after the Club World Cup, but would it be in the interest of the players, who played the whole season, to go to America and return immediately to participate in the CAN afterwards ? »

Indeed, the calendar of the new version of the Club World Cup remains a real handicap for the continental competition because the 2025 Club World Cup will be held in the United States, from June 15 to July 13, when the CAN was originally scheduled from July 20 to August 16 or 17, 2025… which would be breathtaking for all the players who have not rested properly
