The Confederation of African Football (CAF) says talks about the proposed African Nations League are still in progress. The format, which teams will take part, and possible host countries have not been decided yet.
CAF has not shared a possible start date for the tournament or explained how it would fit into the current international football schedule.
The African Nations League is meant to be a new competition for national teams, giving them more chances to play competitive matches and offering more opportunities for players, coaches, and football associations in Africa.
However, CAF has made it clear that nothing has been decided yet about how the competition will be set up or run.
Discussions are still going on about important details like the tournament format, who can take part, and which countries might host the event.
Since the format is not set, it is still unknown if the competition will use a regular league system, have group stages and knockouts, or try something completely new.
CAF’s recent update means that any earlier reports about host countries or tournament plans are not confirmed until the organization makes an official announcement.
Adding the African Nations League would mean another big tournament in an already busy African football calendar, which now includes the Africa Cup of Nations, FIFA World Cup qualifiers, the African Nations Championship (CHAN), and other regional events.
Because of this, CAF needs to think about things like scheduling, travel, club matches, and how much players have to play before making final plans for the new tournament.
For now, the African Nations League is still being discussed. CAF is expected to share more details after talks with everyone involved are finished and a final plan is in place.
