Nigeria May Co-host 2025 AFCON Says Pinnick

President of Nigeria Football Federation, Amaju Pinnick has said Nigeria may host Africa’s continental football showpiece twenty-five years after it hosted that which it lost to Cameroon in the final.

 Pinnick said the Confederation of African Football (CAF) is likely to withdraw the hosting right of the 2025 AFCON from the West African country.

“We are putting a bid together for a co-hosting of the tournament with the Benin Republic,” Pinnick told newsmen.

“It is high time Nigeria hosted an international tournament because there are many advantages attached to hosting of such competitions.

“We are working with the ministry of sports to ensure that Nigeria gets the hosting right.”
