The government of Ghana is contemplating partnering with either Nigeria or Benin to bid for the 2025, Mustapha Ussif, the minister of sports has revealed
The minister claims that the government has not yet decided whether to submit a bid or not.
“There’s a discussion that Ghana should bid with the likes of Nigeria and Benin. We are still considering it. We have not taken a decision yet but there is that discussion that we should get sister countries so that we can put in that bid,” he revealed.
After the rights to host the event were taken away from the previous host, Guinea, the Confederation of African Football (CAF) has reopened bids for AFCON 2025.
Guinea were stripped of the competition because of concerns over infrastructure and facilities.
Interested countries have up to November 11 to officially declare their interest to host the 2025 AFCON and November 16 is the deadline for submission of related documents.
Ghana last hosted the AFCON in 2008, and they co-hosted with Nigeria in 2000.
