Going separate ways: The AFCON Bid committee has officially disbanded PIC: PHATSIMO KAPENG

After the failed 2027 Africa Cup of Nations attempt, the bid committee (Bidco) has officially closed shop. Last year, Botswana decided to bid for the 2027 tournament but lost out to Kenya, Tanzania, and Uganda after the three East African countries presented a joint bid.
