The Confederation of African Football (CAF) has postponed the African Nations Championship, which was initially slated to start on February 1, 2025.

Kenya, which was set to co-host the tournament alongside her East African neighbours Uganda and Tanzania, will have to wait a bit longer, with CAF revealing the tournament will take place in August 2025.

In an official statement from CAF, the African football governing body acknowledged the progress Kenya had made in preparing to host the games but admitted the infrastructure levels were still not up to standards.

The decision to postpone the tournament came after CAF Technical and Infrastructure experts conducted a thorough inspection of the progress made on facilities across the East African countries, including Kenya.
