The Confederation of African Football (CAF) president Patrice Motsepe has announced that Guinea will not be hosting the 2025 Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON) anymore.

Motsepe came to the conclusion after a meeting with the country's top hierarchy, citing that Guinea's infrastructure and facilities are not yet ready to host a world-class AFCON tournament.

It was Senegal who won the last tournament in Cameroon, having overcome Egypt in the penalty shootout.

While there's no update on who will now host the tournament, the bidding for the event is expected to reopen in the coming days.
