CAF Postpones AFCON Final Draw

The draw for next year’s tournament was initially scheduled to be held in the host country, Cameroon on June 25

The Confederation of African Football (Caf) has announced the postponement of the 2022 Africa Cup of Nations draw due to ‘logistical relations related to the coronavirus’.

Following the conclusion of the qualification round in March with 24 countries confirmed for next year’s tournament in Cameroon, the group stage draw was first planned for June 25 in the host country.

However, qualified teams will now have to wait for a new date to know their fate in the competition after the Cameroon Local Organising Committee accepted Caf’s request for rescheduling.

“At the request of Caf, the Cameroon Local Organizing Committee (LOC) has agreed to postpone the TotalEnergies Africa Cup of Nations Cameroon 2021 final draw for logistical reasons related to the Covid-19 pandemic,” the statement read on Caf’s website.

“The draw was initially scheduled for 25 June 2021 and a new date will be announced in due course.

“Caf continues to work together with its partners, the Cameroon government and the LOC with the objective of making the TotalEnergies Africa Cup of Nations Cameroon 2021 a successful event and a great celebration of African football.”
