The Africa Cup of Nations will continue to be held every two years, much to the delight of African clubs

The African Cup of Nations will continue to be held every two years, as confirmed by CAF, reversing a previous decision to move it to a four-year cycle. This change follows pressure from FIFA and European clubs who preferred a less frequent schedule. The initial decision to change the frequency was made without consultation and faced backlash from many in African football who valued the biennial tradition.
