The next Africa Cup of Nations finals have been put back six months and will now be played from Dec. 21, 2025 to Jan. 18 2026, the Confederation of African (CAF) football announced on Friday.

The top scorer at the 2023 African Cup of Nations, Emilio Nsue, was never eligible to play for Equatorial Guinea throughout his entire 11-year international career, FIFA judges have ruled.

Nigeria have confirmed Enyimba coach Finidi George as their new coach to replace Portuguese Jose Peseiro, whose contract was not renewed when it expired in February.
