The tournament was originally scheduled to be held this year but was postponed to 2024 due to concerns over the rainy season in Ivory Coast.

CAF president Patrice Motsepe said: "There are discussions underway with several global companies that are very keen to sponsor and partner with CAF for the CAF competitions including the Africa Cup of Nations.
