EKO HOT BLOG reports that the Confederation of African Football (CAF) has announced that the 2023 AFCON slated for Cote d’Ivoire in June 2023 will now be played in January/February 2024.
Caf President, Patrice Motsepe disclosed the new dates at the CAF Executive Committee in Rabat, Morocco on Sunday.
This followed the request of the host nation as June falls within the rainy season in Cote d’Ivoire and that the rains could adversely disrupt the tournament.
This is the second time CAF has been forced to shift the dates for the tournament.
The continental body pushed the 2021 Afcon finals to January 2022 because Cameroon was unable to host the competition in the June-July period because of the rainy season.
The Super Eagles top their qualifying group with six points after two rounds of matches.
They take on Guinea Bissau in continuation of the qualifiers in September.
Sierra Leone and Sao Tome and Principe are the other teams in the group.
