The Confederation of African Football (CAF) has moved the 2021 Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON) to 2022, due to the COVID-19 outbreak.
CAF’s Executive Committee confirmed the decision on Tuesday after a meeting.
It is understood that CAF feels there might not be enough for the qualifiers to be concluded in time for the AFCON.
CAF also confirmed the 2020 African Nations Championship for home-based players will be played next year, having originally been scheduled for April 2020.
Africa had reported more than 397,000 COVID-19 infections and over 9,900 deaths as of Tuesday afternoon, according to data from worldometer.
