Amaju Pinnick, the president of the Nigerian Football Federation, has suggested that Ghana or the Benin Republic might co-host the competition with Nigeria.
On Thursday, the Confederation of African Football declared that Guinea would no longer host the 2025 Africa Cup of Nations.
On November 30, 2018, CAF designated Guinea as the host of the competition, but the continental football body has since revoked the designation after the Executive Committee endorsed the choice to deny Guinea the hosting privileges.
The football umpire for the continent observed that Guinea was unprepared for the tournament, which was scheduled to take place in June–July of that year.
CAF noted in a release made available to the media: “The Executive Committee was unanimous that Guinea will not be ready to host the competition.
“The Executive Committee took a unanimous decision based on the report as submitted that the tournament be withdrawn from Guinea.
“The President suggested that a delegation be sent to Guinea to inform them of the decision taken by EXCO.
“Resolution: The Executive Committee resolved to send a delegation to Guinea to inform them of CAF’s decision to withdraw the Africa Cup of Nations Guinea 2025 from Guinea.”
CAF has not however made any official statement on the replacement if Guinea loses the hosting rights.
