A senior official at Morocco’s football federation declined to confirm reports that the country has submitted a bid to host the 2028 Africa Cup of Nations, saying no official position has been announced so far.
Speaking to Hesport, the official said there is “nothing official at this stage,” neither confirming nor denying widespread media reports that Morocco is among the candidates to host the continental tournament.
The comments come ahead of a key meeting of the Confederation of African Football’s executive committee scheduled for Friday, fueling speculation over whether Morocco could be awarded the tournament under its expanded format. The uncertainty also comes amid reported tensions between the Royal Moroccan Football Federation and CAF following controversies surrounding the 2025 Africa Cup of Nations final.
African football media have reported that CAF has received three bids to host the 2028 tournament: a standalone bid from Morocco, another from Ethiopia, and a joint bid submitted by South Africa and Botswana.
CAF’s executive committee meeting is expected to address several major issues, including the future of upcoming continental competitions. Among the items on the agenda is the Women’s Africa Cup of Nations, scheduled to be hosted by Morocco, which could face a postponement. The committee is also set to decide on the hosts for the next two men’s Africa Cup of Nations tournaments.
In addition, CAF officials are expected to review regulatory and disciplinary matters stemming from the 2025 final, particularly issues related to refereeing and competition regulations.
