The Confederation of African Football (CAF) has officially approved Senegal’s request to host the 2025 Africa Cup of Nations, after Senegal submitted its file within the set deadline.
CAF’s move means Senegal is now in the running to stage the tournament, as the continental body continues to review the remaining bids before taking a final decision on the host nation.
At the same time, the spotlight has turned to Morocco’s position. The Moroccan Football Federation is still expected to clarify its stance on the hosting race and whether it will proceed with its bid, as CAF awaits the final list of candidates.
The development confirms that Senegal’s bid has been accepted on a formal level, while the next steps depend on how other interested countries, including Morocco, respond in the coming period.
