The 2023 African Cup of Nations, known for short as the 2023 AFCON or CAN 2023 and for sponsorship purposes as the TotalEnergies 2024 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.

Senegal are the defending champions.

Host selection

Bids

• Algeria
• Guinea (Guinea was originally awarded the 2023 tournament, but hosting duties were pushed back to 2025 after Cameroon hosted in 2021 instead of 2019 owing to non-readiness at the time. However, Guinea could not reach the deadline for tournament preparations and was later stripped of 2023 hosting rights on 30 September 2022; Morocco was selected as the replacement host on 27 September 2023.)
• Ivory Coast (Ivory Coast was originally awarded the 2021 tournament, which was later pushed forward to 2023 following Cameroon hosting the 2021 edition. However, Ivory Coast later requested to CAF for the 2023 edition to be hosted in January–February 2024 to avoid the West and Central African tropical rain season which typically reaches its peak around June–July.)
• Zambia

Rejected bids

• Cameroon
• Kenya
• Sudan
• Senegal

CAF initially announced the hosts for the 2019, 2021 and 2023 editions of Africa Cup of Nations after the final vote at its executive committee meeting on 20 September 2014, awarding the 2019 edition to Cameroon, the 2021 edition to Ivory Coast and the 2023 edition to Guinea.

The announcement of the 2023 hosts was unscheduled. Guinea was one of the bidders for the 2019 and 2021 editions, whose host countries were scheduled to be announced on that day. A CAF spokesperson told BBC News that, on the basis of Guinea's presentation "and commitment", the committee "decided to exercise its power to make an immediate decision."

Host change

On 30 November 2018, CAF stripped Cameroon from hosting the 2019 edition due to lack of speed of progress in hosting preparations, but accepted former CAF President Ahmad Ahmad's request for Cameroon to stage the following edition in 2021. Consequently, the original hosts of 2021, Ivory Coast, would host the 2023 edition, and the original hosts of 2023, Guinea were planned to host the 2025 edition, which until that point was yet to have a host named.

On 30 January 2019, the CAF President confirmed the timetable shift, after a meeting with Ivorian President Alassane Ouattara in Abidjan, Ivory Coast.

Mascot

Файл:"Akwaba, Africa Cup of Nations Egypt 2023 Mascot, July 2023".jpeg

Akwaba, the official mascot of the 2023 Africa Cup of Nations

The organising board of the 2023 African Cup of Nations unveiled the competition; "Akwaba", which means "Welcome" in Baoulé language. It is an elephant, which is Ivory Coast's animal symbol. Its kit bears resemblance to Ivory Coast's home colours.

Match ball

On 12 October 2023, CAF and Puma unveiled "Pokou" as the official tournament edition match ball ahead of the final tournament draw. The name was chosen to honour deceased legendary Ivorian forward Laurent Pokou, locally known for scoring 5 goals in the 6-1 victory over Ethiopia at the 1970 edition of the tournament which has stood as a record to date.

Official song

On 12 October 2023, CAF unveiled the official song for the competition during the official draw. The song featured MTV award-winning Nigerian artist Yemi Alade, Egyptian rapper Mohamed Ramadan and Ivorian music band Magic System. Titled "Akwaba", meaning "Welcome" in the native language of Baoulé, the anthem is an exciting fusion of afrobeat, rap and zouglou in a unique musical mix that remains deeply entrenched with the tradition of the competition's previous anthems.

54 teams originally registered for the qualification, which, like in 2019 and 2021, was held in two rounds. Réunion and Zanzibar were not full members of the CAF and were therefore excluded from participation. Eritrea withdrew after the first round draw. Kenya and Zimbabwe were suspended by FIFA at the time of the second round draw and were excluded from the competition after it was not lifted in time.

In the preliminary round, the twelve lowest-ranked teams in the FIFA world rankings of December 2021 competed against each other in a knockout system with two legs. The six winners of the preliminary round and the remaining 42 higher-placed teams were drawn into twelve groups of four on April 2022. The second round was played from June 2022 to September 2023 in a double round format. The group winners and runners-up from all twelve groups, with the exception of Group H, qualified for the final round. Apart from the hosts from Ivory Coast, only one other team qualified from Group H.

Venues

CAF established the following requirements for the expected six stadiums for this edition of the tournament:

Number of stadiums	Capacity (Minimum)
2	40,000
2	20,000
2	15,000

In September 2017, the government of Ivory Coast launched a public tender for the venues of the competition. This included public tender requested bids for renovating and expanding the existing Felix Houphouët Boigny Stadium in Yamoussoukro and the Stade de la Paix (Peace Stadium) of Bouaké, and building new stadiums in those cities as well as the cities of Korhogo and San-Pédro. The three new stadiums were to have a capacity of 20,000 each.

In addition to the renovation or construction of stadiums, the tender included the renovation or construction of training facilities in the host cities: eight in Abidjan and four in Bouaké, Korhogo, Yamoussoukro and San-Pédro. It also included the construction of 96 villas (five rooms per villa) in those cities. In addition, the bidding nations were to be submitted to build a three-star hotel of fifty rooms in Korhogo.
