Morocco has not taken any decision to bid for the 2028 Africa Cup of Nations, a source at the Royal Moroccan Football Federation said, dismissing media reports suggesting the country could return to the race to host the tournament.
The source told Hesport that the federation is currently focused entirely on the organization of the 2025 Africa Cup of Nations, which Morocco is hosting.
Any discussion about a potential bid for the 2028 edition was described as premature, particularly as the Confederation of African Football has not yet announced the launch of the bidding process or outlined hosting requirements.
Speculation has grown following CAF’s decision to move to a four year cycle for the tournament, making 2028 the first edition under the new format.
Morocco’s handling of the 2025 tournament, praised by participating teams for infrastructure and logistics, has fueled expectations about future hosting roles. While no official move has been made, Morocco remains a central figure in African football, supported by ongoing investments in stadiums, transport and hospitality ahead of the 2030 World Cup.
