CAF confirms dates for rescheduled Africa Cup of Nations in Cameroon Saturday, 3 April 2021
The Confederation of African Football (CAF) has confirmed the Africa Cup of Nations will take place in Cameroon from January 9 to February 6 in 2022.
The tournament was due to take place in January and February 2021, but the CAF announced last June that the event would be rescheduled due to the COVID-19 pandemic, which prevented qualifiers taking place.
New dates for the event were confirmed at a CAF Executive Committee meeting chaired by the organisation’s new President Patrice Motsepe, which also included secretary general Véron Mosengo-Omba.
The tournament draw will take place on June 25.
