Burkina Faso, Mali and Niger launch bid for 2032 Afcon

Burkina Faso, Mali and Niger - three countries led by military governments - have submitted a joint bid to host the 2032 Africa Cup of Nations.

Caf president Patrice Motsepe, when asked by BBC Sport Africa if continental football's governing body would need security guarantees before assessing the bid, said the three countries "will have as good a chance as everybody else" of hosting the finals.

Burkina Faso, in 1998, and Mali, in 2002, have previously hosted Afcon in their own right, while next year's finals in Kenya, Tanzania and Uganda will be the first to have three co-hosts.
