Botswana has officially announced its intention to co-host the 2028 African Cup of Nations (AFCON) alongside South Africa, BSNSports.com.ng reports.

The confirmation came as the CAF Executive Committee convened in Rabat, Morocco, to discuss key matters concerning upcoming tournaments, including host nation selections.

The joint bid represents a strategic partnership aimed at combining resources and infrastructure to deliver a successful continental showcase.

Details on the bid’s specifics, including proposed stadiums and hosting plans, are expected to be reviewed by CAF in the coming months, with a final decision anticipated later in the year.

This development adds to the growing list of nations vying for the prestigious tournament, reflecting CAF’s continued push to expand AFCON’s footprint across the continent.
