Algeria 'pulls out' of bid race as Morocco, Senegal tipped to win

Nigeria and Benin's bid will reportedly get the 2029 tournament, although the CAF executive committee meets on Wednesday to decide only on the winners of the 2025 and 2027.

Botswana is bidding for the 2027 tournament, but media reports in Algeria indicate the process has been predetermined. As a result, reports in Algeria say the country has pulled out and will instead focus on consolidating its infrastructure development. Algeria accuses CAF of corruption as the outcome has already been decided.
