African Cup of Nations 2027 Betting

The African Cup of Nations, or AFCON, is an international football tournament held every two years to determine the champions of Africa. First played in 1957 and featuring just four teams, Afcon now has 24 sides, with 54 eligible for qualifying and has been won by 15 different countries. The most recent tournament was in Morocco in 2025, where the hosts were controversially awarded the title after their opponents, Senegal, walked off the pitch in the final.

The next edition will be held in 2027 and hosted by Kenya, Tanzania and Uganda.
