The Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON) will be held every four years starting from 2028.
This was revealed by Patrice Motsepe, the president of the Confederation of African Football, CAF, on Saturday.
Since 1968, the tournament has been played every two years.
There was, however, a one-year gap between the 2012 and 2013 editions.
But after the 2027 edition in East Africa and the next one in 2028, it will switch to a four-year cycle.
“We have the most exciting new structure for African football,” Motsepe said.
“I do what is in the interests of Africa. The global calendar has to be significantly more synchronised and harmonised.”
