What happened: The Africa Cup of Nations (Afcon) will be held every four years starting in 2028, ending its previous biennial schedule.
Why it matters:
- This change alters the football calendar for African nations and international competitions.
- Players, teams, and fans will experience longer intervals between tournaments.
MNN Take: Moving Afcon to a four-year cycle aligns it more closely with other major international tournaments, potentially easing scheduling pressures.
