CAF Names Egypt as New Host for 2025 U-20 AFCON

The Confederation of African Football (“CAF”) has awarded the Egyptian Football Association (“EFA”) and Egyptian Government the rights to host the 2025 Africa U20 Cup of Nations.

This is subsequent to CAF having been informed by the Fédération Ivoirienne de Football (“FIF”) and the Government of Côte d’Ivoire that due to unforeseen circumstances, they are unable to host the CAF Under-20 Africa Cup of Nations 2025.

The Egyptian Football Association and the Egyptian Government had previously submitted a bid to host the TotalEnergies CAF Under-20 Africa Cup of Nations 2025.

The opening match of the TotalEnergies CAF Under-20 Africa Cup of Nations 2025 will be played on Sunday, 27 April 2025 and the Final on 18 May 2025.
