The Confederation of African Football (CAF) has officially awarded Egypt the hosting rights for the 2025 U-20 Africa Cup of Nations as exclusively revealed by http://AfricaSoccer.com yesterday.
This decision follows Cote d’Ivoire’s unexpected withdrawal, paving the way for Egypt, which had previously expressed its interest in organizing the tournament.
Egypt is well-known for its football passion, modern infrastructure, and experience in hosting major continental and international tournaments.
With a strong commitment from the Egyptian government and the nation’s football federation, CAF is confident that the tournament will be well-organized, secure, and exciting.
The tournament is set to kick off on Sunday, April 27, 2025, and will conclude with the final on May 18, 2025.
It will showcase the best young football talents from across Africa, with teams competing not only for continental glory but also for a spot in the FIFA U-20 World Cup in Chile later this year.
With Egypt at the helm, the 2025 U-20 AFCON is expected to be one of the best editions in the tournament’s history.
