Speaking during the African Nations Championship (CHAN) draw ceremony at an Algiers opera house, he announced that "Algeria will be candidates to host the 2025 AFCON". On Saturday, Confederation of African Football (CAF) president Patrice Motsepe said Guinea would not host the 2025 edition because they were "not ready to do so". The west African country, one of the poorest in the continent, has currently only one international-standard stadium, and Cup of Nations require six. Nigeria staged and won the Cup of Nations in 1980 and finished runners-up when they co-hosted the 2000 edition with Ghana. Algeria were another country to host and win the Cup of Nations, defeating Nigeria in the 1990 final.
