The Ethiopian Football Federation has formally submitted a bid to host the 2028 Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON). The proposal, announced via social media on Monday, marks Ethiopia's first attempt to host the continental tournament in over 50 years, having last served as the host nation in 1976.
This bid follows recent developments in the tournament's hosting rotation, which includes the upcoming 2025 event co-hosted by Kenya, Uganda, and Tanzania. If successful, the 2028 tournament would return to Ethiopia, a nation currently recognized as having the second-largest population in Africa.
