Where is the 2025 Africa Cup Of Nations?
The Africa Cup Of Nations is due to take place in Morocco from June 2025 to July 2025. Official dates for the opening games and the final will be announced nearer to the time.
It should be worth mentioning that the last two AFCON editions were moved to January and February due to adverse weather conditions in their two previous countries (Cameroon in 2022 and Ivory Coast in 2024).
2025 Africa Cup Of Nations Host
Morocco will be the hosts for the 2025 Africa Cup Of Nations. It will be their second time hosting the tournament, with the first time coming in 1988. They were due to host the 2015 edition, but the tournament was moved due to the Ebola virus outbreak.
Guinea was set to be the original hosts before their hosting rights were removed due to inadequacy of hosting preparations.

2025 Africa Cup Of Nations Format
Similar to the 2023 Africa Cup Of Nations and European Champions due to take place this summer 2024, 24 teams will make up the 2025 Africa Cup Of Nations.
The top two automatically qualify for the round of 16, whilst four of the six best 3rd placed teams also make it through to complete the best 16 teams. They will then fight it out to make the final, just as Ivory Coast and Nigeria have done so in this edition.
