The 2023 African Cup of Nations initially slated for June 2023 in Côte d’Ivoire has been postponed till January – February 2024.

The decision was taken due to unfavourable weather conditions during the summer in the West Africa country.

CAF was of the opinion that it was going to rain heavily and it could disrupt the tournament hence it postponement till january of the following year.

CAF Executive Committee led by Patrice Motsepe took the decision in Rabat, Morocco, today (Sunday)

“We are considering it; it is one of the possibilities.

“We asked Ivorian meteorologists to report to us on rainfall history in Côte d’Ivoire in June and July, but also to share their projections with us.”

Aside the decision to postpone the 2023 AFCON, the CAF Champions League and Confederation Cup finals were reverted back to home and away format.

Also, the newly introduced African Super League will kickoff in August 2023 with the winner to get $10million.

Meanwhile, the Super Eagles of Nigeria have already won their first two games in 2023 AFCON qualifiers after defeating Sao Tome & Principe by 10-0 and Sierra Leone by 2-1
