The 2028 Africa Cup of Nations, also referred to as AFCON 2028 or CAN 2028, is scheduled to be the 37th edition of the henceforth quadrennial African football tournament organised by the Confederation of African Football (CAF). It will be the first edition since 2012 to be planned for an even-numbered year and the first in the new quadrennial cycle.
In December 2025, CAF opened bidding for the 2028, 2032, and 2036 Africa Cup of Nations tournaments, with a deadline of 1 February 2026 for submission of official bid documents, including formal government guarantees.
On 12 February 2026, CAF confirmed that it had received three official bids to host the 2028 tournament: Ethiopia, Morocco, and a joint bid from Botswana and South Africa.
