Guinea has been stripped of the right to host the 2025 Africa Cup of Nations finals. The development follows a meeting on Friday in Conakry between the country's interim president Mamady Doumbouya and the Confederation of African Football (CAF) honcho Patrice Motsepe. "The Executive Committee was unanimous that Guinea will not be ready to host the competition," CAF said in a statement. "The Executive Committee took a unanimous decision based on the report as submitted that the tournament is withdrawn from Guinea,” the statement read in part. "The Executive Committee resolved to send a delegation to Guinea to inform them of CAF's decision to withdraw the Africa Cup of Nations, Guinea 2025 from Guinea."
