CAF President Patrice Motsepe stated on Sunday, March 30, 2026, that Morocco is frequently the only country bidding to host major African football competitions. He made the remarks during a press conference following a CAF Executive Committee meeting in Cairo, Egypt.
Motsepe explained that this situation arises due to a lack of competing bids from other nations, which complicates the Confederation's organizational planning. He emphasized the need for more countries to step forward and host tournaments to ensure the continent's sporting development.
The CAF president's comments come amid ongoing discussions about the future hosting of events like the Africa Cup of Nations and the African Nations Championship. He did not specify which upcoming tournaments were affected by the single-bidder scenario.
