Ghana, Nigeria and Benin are in talks to consider coming together to make a joint bid to host the 2025 Africa Cup of Nations.
According to Ghana’s Sports Minister, Mustapha Ussif; “There’s a discussion that Ghana should bid with the likes of Nigeria and Benin. We are still considering it. We have not taken a decision yet but there is that discussion that we should get sister countries so that we can put in that bid,” he disclosed.
Competition to host the tournament has been opened by the Confederation of African Football (CAF) and has set 11 November as the deadline for countries to declare interest in hosting the tournament.
CAF has stripped Guinea of the right to host the 2025 Africa Cup of Nations because they weren’t ready to host the 35th edition of the continental showpiece as their sparse infrastructure and facilities was always going to be stretched.
The continent’s football governing body expects finalised bids, including documents, proposed host cities and government guarantees, to reach its Cairo headquarters by December 16.
Caf inspection teams will tour bidding countries from 5 to 25 January next year in its quest to find a suitable replacement for Guinea.
Findings from the inspections will be submitted to the 24-member Caf executive committee, which will announce the successful country or co-hosts to stage the 2025 finals on February 10.
The 2008 edition was hosted by Ghana, and saw Egypt retain the trophy, winning its record-extending sixth tournament by defeating Cameroon 1–0 in the final.
