The Confédération Africaine de Football (“CAF”) has announced that Senegal will host the CAF Beach Soccer Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON) 2026 following the approval by the CAF Executive Committee.
The decision re-affirms CAF’s confidence in Senegal’s capacity to organize world class events and recognises the country’s contribution to the growth and development of Beach Soccer on the African continent.
Senegal are record five-time winners of the CAF Beach Soccer AFCON, having won the last five consecutive editions, including the 2024 edition in Egypt.
The tournament will once again bring together eight (8) of Africa’s leading Beach Soccer Nations, with qualification to the next FIFA Beach Soccer World Cup in 2027 among the major incentives for participating teams.
Senegal hosted the 2021 edition of the CAF Beach Soccer Africa Cup of Nations.
