Confederation of African Football (CAF) president Patrice Motsepe has announced that the Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON) will expand from 24 to 28 teams beginning with the 2027 edition.
The 2027 edition will also mark a historic milestone as Kenya, Uganda and Tanzania become the first East African nations to jointly host the Africa Cup of Nations.
After successfully increasing the tournament from 16 to 24 teams in 2019, CAF believes the latest expansion will create more opportunities for emerging football nations while raising the overall standard of competition.
