The Confederation of African Football (CAF) Executive Committee held a meeting on Sunday, March 29, 2026, but did not announce the official host nation for the 2026 Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON). The decision remains unresolved, with Morocco and Senegal having submitted joint bids for the tournament.

CAF President Patrice Motsepe stated that the Executive Committee discussed the hosting rights but required more time for a final decision. The organization is reportedly evaluating the bids against technical and infrastructural requirements.

The 2026 AFCON will be the first to feature 24 teams, increasing the logistical demands on the host nation. A final announcement from CAF is expected in the coming weeks, following further deliberations by the governing body.
