By REUTERS More by this AuthorThe next Africa Cup of Nations (Afcon) finals will be put back six months to the start of 2026, the Confederation of African Football (Caf) said on Wednesday. Africa will have four teams at the Club World Cup and many of those players are likely to be picked for the Cup of Nations. Caf was repeatedly asked about the obvious clash but failed to offer a solution until general secretary Veron Mosengo-Omba told the BBC the Nations Cup finals would be held in early 2026. Caf has also been under fire for its inability to fix dates for this year’s women’s Africa Cup of Nations finals, also in Morocco. There is also uncertainty around the second edition of the African Football League, the continent’s new super league launched last year.
