The Confederation of African Football (CAF) has opened a global Invitation to Tender (ITT) for the commercial rights to the 2028, 2032 and 2036 editions of the CAF Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON).

The tender covers global media, broadcast and sponsorship rights, with submissions closing on 24 August 2026 at 17:00 Cairo time (14:00 GMT).

CAF said it is seeking an innovative commercial partner to expand AFCON’s global reach, unlock new revenue streams and enhance the tournament’s commercial value.

The 2025 AFCON in Morocco attracted more than 3.2 billion television viewers and 6 billion digital views, while commercial revenues increased by 95%, highlighting the competition’s growing global appeal.

Revenue generated from the sale of media and sponsorship rights will continue to support the development of football across Africa.
