CAF to Visit to Nigeria and Benin ahead of 2025 AFCON

The Confederation of African Football (CAF) is set to visit Nigeria and Benin Republic between March 31 and April 2nd to inspect facilities for the upcoming 2025 Africa Cup of Nations.Nigeria and Benin Republic have put up a joint bid to co-host Africa’s flagship soccer event.

The CAF team is expected to inspect stadiums, training facilities, hotels and other important facilities that will ensure smooth running of the competition.

Morocco, Algeria and Zambia are countries who have also submitted bids to host the continental event.

Guinea were originally scheduled to host the competition but were stripped of the right due to inadequacy and speed of progress in preparations.

If the Nigerian bid goes through, it would be the 2nd of it’s kind as Nigeria co-hosted AFCON 2000 alongside Ghana.
