The Confederation of African Football (CAF) has confirmed that the 2025 Africa Cup of Nations will be hosted by two countries, Nigeria and Benin.

The decision was made at the CAF's executive committee meeting in Egypt on Wednesday, where it was announced that both countries had been selected to host the prestigious tournament.

Nigeria is one of the most successful football nations in Africa, having won the Africa Cup of Nations four times previously. The country has also produced several world-class players such as Stephen Keshi, John Obi Mikel, and Victor Moses.

Benin, on the other hand, is a smaller nation but has recently gained prominence in international football with its impressive performance in the 2019 Africa Cup of Nations.

The news comes after a long period of speculation about which country would be hosting the 2025 edition of the tournament. Many countries had expressed interest in hosting the event, including South Africa, Ivory Coast, and Morocco.

The announcement was welcomed by fans of both Nigeria and Benin, who have been eagerly anticipating the return of the continent's premier football tournament.

It is expected that the 2025 Africa Cup of Nations will provide a platform for young talent to showcase their skills and for fans to witness some of the best football action in the region.
