The tournament was supposed to be hosted in June-July 2025, however due to the formation of the expanded FIFA Club World Cup scheduled to be held in June-July 2025, the 2025 AFCON might be hosted in January-February 2026.
This edition of the tournament was supposed to be the 2nd to take place in the northern hemisphere summer since the 2019 edition to reduce scheduling conflicts with European club teams and competitions after the previous edition in 2023 was moved to January and February 2024 owing to the adverse summer weather conditions in Ivory Coast.Guinea was the set to be the original host of this edition of the tournament but CAF stripped it of hosting rights after affirming its inadequacy of hosting preparations. After a second bidding process, Morocco was given the hosting rights
