Morocco won the bid to host the 2025 Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON) tournament, the Confederation of the African Football declared on Wednesday.
Morocco won by default after Algeria, Zambia and a joint bid from Benin and Nigeria withdrew before a vote of the Confederation of African Football's executive committee in Cairo.
It will be the second time for Morocco to host the tournament as they hosted the tournament in 1988.
In the same context, Kenya, Tanzania, and Uganda will host the 2027 tournament and it will be the first time for the tournament to be organized in three countries.
