Nigeria may co-host the 2025 African cup of nations – Amaju Pinnick

Nigeria and Benin Republic are likely co-host the 2025 Africa Cup of Nations, Nigeria Football Federation (NFF) president Amaju Pinnick, has said.

Guinea has been awarded the hosting rights for 2025 but Africa’s football ruling body, CAF may likely strip Guinea of the hosting right of the biennial African football showpiece.

According to Pinnick, CAF is on course to withdraw the hosting right from the West African country and Nigeria is working on a bid with Benin Republic.

We are putting a bid together for a co-hosting of the tournament with the Benin Republic,” Pinnick told Completesports.


“The Minister of Sports has given his endorsement on the bidding.


“It is high time Nigeria hosted an international tournament because there are many advantages attached to hosting of such competitions.


“There are many countries bidding for the competition; we are confident of getting the nod from Caf.

We are working with the ministry of sports to ensure that Nigeria gets the hosting right.”


Since the inception of AFCON, Nigeria have hosted the rest of the continent on two occasions.


The first time was in 1980 while the second time was in 2000 when the country co-hosted with Ghana .
