Total Africa cup of Nations 2019 - Official draw ceremony

Friday, 12 Apr

The African Cup of Nations, or AFCON, is a national team tournament run by the African Football Confederation (CAF). This competition is held once every two years and had its first edition in 1957. It was decided to hold this competition during odd years, so its celebration didn’t interfere with the FIFA World Cup.

The first edition of this tournament was played by only three teams. For the first time ever, twenty-four teams will be involved in the upcoming edition of this tournament, which is set to be played in 2019.

The new number of teams will also bring a change in format. All 24 teams will be drawn in six groups, with the two best sides making it to the KO stage. The four best third place teams will also enter the final stage. 

The 2017 edition was the last to be played by 16 teams. The tournament was played from January 14 to February 5th, and Cameroon took home their fifth title.

The 2019 AFCON will be played in Egypt. Initially, Cameroon had been elected as host nation, but due to some political issues and the nation’s failure to present the proper infrastructure to host the tournament, they were eventually stripped from hosting duties. Eventually, Egypt would step in. This will be the first time in history in which the tournament will be held during the summer, mainly to avoid interfering with European leagues and because the competition usually interfered with the Ramadan. The winner of this tournament will earn a spot in the 2021 FIFA Confederations Cup, if it is not cancelled by FIFA.
