With other qualifications to be determined in June and September 2023, dates are now set for the tournament to go ahead in January 2024

The 2023 Africa Cup of Nations Cup tournament, postponed until 2024, now has dates set for the kickoff and the final.

The last international calendar date saw four nations, defending champions Senegal, Algeria, Morocco, and South Africa, book their slots in Cote d’Ivoire. Nigeria’s Super Eagles moved a step closer to qualification with a 1-0 win over Guinea Bissau, in Group A, after suffering a shock 1-0 loss to the same opponents on Friday, 24 March.

Twenty-four nations will compete in the tournament over a four-week period to determine which country will replace Senegal as champions or if the Teranga Lions can successfully defend the title they won for the first time in 2021. “CAF General Secretary Veron Mosengo-Omba also confirmed that the Final Draw of the TotalEnergies Africa Cup of Nations 2023 in Cote d’Ivoire will be held in September 2023.”
