Morocco are expected to submit a bid to CAF in the coming weeks to host the 2025 TotalEnergies African Cup of Nations.
The North African country aim to take over from Guinea after they were stripped of the hosting rights due to inadequate infrastructure and facilities.
The decision was announced late Friday night and after Confederation of African Football (CAF) president Patrice Motsepe traveled to the country to meet with Col. Mamady Doumbouya, the head of the military junta in Guinea who took power in a coup in 2021.
CAF said its executive committee would meet in Algeria on Saturday to discuss the details of re-opening the bidding process for the 2025 tournament, which might also be put back a year after the COVID-19 pandemic interrupted the African Cup of Nations sequence.
Meanwhile, Algeria are also believed to be in the race for the honor of hosting the continental showpiece while Nigeria is reportedly working on a joint bid with Benin.
The 2025 AFCON is scheduled to be the 35th edition of the biennial tournament.
