When is AFCON 2023 holding?

The biennial competition, organised by the Confederation of African Football (CAF), was initially slated for 2023 but moved to 2024. The games will commence on Saturday, January 13, and close on Sunday, February 11, 2024.

Hopes are high for the Super Eagles to do well, as they are three-times champions of the competition. They won the trophy in 1980, 1994, and 2013. The Black Stars of Ghana are also not a write-off, as they are strong contenders in the competition and have won it four times.
