The Confederation of African Football, CAF, is to re-open bidding for the 2025 Africa Cup of Nations after stripping Guinea of the right to host the competition, with Morocco among the nations set to apply.

CAF President, Patrice Motsepe, was in the Guinean capital Conakry yesterday when he announced that the 24-team tournament will be removed due to a lack of suitably-advancing infrastructure and facilities.
