Ethiopia has formally submitted a bid to host the 2028 Africa Cup of Nations, the Ethiopian Football Federation announced on Monday, August 24, 2026.
The filing advances Ethiopia’s effort to bring Africa’s leading men’s national-team football tournament back to the country. The federation disclosed the submission in a statement on its social-media channels, according to Fana Broadcasting Corporate.
Submitting a bid begins the formal competition for hosting rights; it does not itself secure the tournament. The eventual host will be determined through the continental football authorities’ evaluation and selection process. Further details of Ethiopia’s proposed venues, infrastructure plan and bid timetable were not included in the available source item.
