Botswana has officially launched its bid to host the 2028 Africa Cup of Nations, proposing a joint venture with South Africa. The announcement comes as the CAF Executive Committee convenes in Rabat to plan the framework for upcoming continental tournaments.

For Botswana, the co-hosting project offers a renewed opportunity after its unsuccessful solo bid for the 2027 edition. If successful, the Southern African partnership would bring the prestigious competition back to the region.

The Botswana-South Africa bid faces strong competition, particularly from Morocco, which is also seeking to host the landmark 2028 tournament. CAF’s final decision is eagerly anticipated by nations and fans across the continent.
