The 2025 African Nations Cup was withdrawn from Guinea
The President of the Confederation of African Football (C) Patrice Motsepe announced in Conakry yesterday that the organization of the 2025 African Nations Cup has been withdrawn from Guinea, due to the lack of infrastructure in the country.
Motsebe told reporters that CAF will reopen the door for applications to host the continental competition in the 2025 edition. The South African added, "We will ask CAF to receive new applications because in the current situation, the infrastructure and equipment are not ready or ready to host in the year 2025 in Guinea." ".
CAF holds its executive meeting today.
It is worth noting that Guinea also often witnesses violent protests.
Human rights organizations denounce the abuses committed by the security forces in the country and the impunity of the perpetrators among its members.
The West African country witnesses frequent clashes between security forces and demonstrators protesting the three-year deadline set by the military council to hand over power to civilians.
Guinea has been led by a military council headed by Colonel Mamady Domboya since a coup that toppled President Alpha Conde in September 2021.
