Kelebeng says they will soon provide clarity on the 2028 AFCON bid

There has been no final decision on Botswana's 2028 Africa Cup of Nations bid, despite reports that official interest has been lodged, MmegiSport has learnt. Widespread reports indicate that Botswana has joined South Africa to officially express interest in hosting the 2028 showpiece.
