2029 African Nations League

The African Nations League (ANL) is a planned continental international men's association football competition contested by the national teams of the CAF member associations. It is scheduled to be introduced as part of a major restructuring of African international football announced in late 2025. The competition is intended to take place annually beginning in 2029, filling the calendar gap created by the change in the scheduling of the Africa Cup of Nations from a biennial event held in odd-numbered years to a quadrennial event held in leap years.
