History
The 2023 African Cup of Nations, known for short as the 2023 AFCON or CAN 2023 and for sponsorship purposes as the TotalEnergies 2023 Africa Cup of Nations, is scheduled to be the 34th edition of the biennial African association football tournament organised by Confederation of African Football. It will be hosted by Ivory Coast for the second time and the first since 1984.
This edition of the tournament was initially planned to be the third since 2019 to take place during the Northern Hemisphere’s summer, in order to reduce scheduling conflicts with European club teams and competitions.[
However it was postponed by CAF to 13 January – 11 February 2024 on 3 July 2022 due to the adverse summer weather concerns in Ivory Coast, whilst retaining the edition’s original name for sponsorship purposes.
This followed the 2021 edition in Cameroon also being moved to the Northern Hemisphere’s winter season for similar reasons
