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

After the final vote at the CAF Executive Committee meeting, on 20 September 2014, the CAF announced the hosts for the 2019, 2021 and 2023 AFCON tournaments: 2019 to Cameroon, 2021 to the Ivory Coast, and 2023 to Guinea.
The announcement of the 2023 hosts was unscheduled. Guinea was one of the bidders for the 2019 and 2021 tournaments, whose host countries were scheduled to be announced on that day. A CAF spokesperson told the BBC 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 Africa Cup of Nations. However, former CAF President Ahmad Ahmad told Cameroon accepted to host the 2021 Africa Cup of Nations. Consequently, Ivory Coast, original hosts of 2021, would host the 2023 Africa Cup of Nations, and Guinea, original hosts of 2023, would host the 2025 Africa Cup of Nations.
On 30 January 2019, CAF President confirmed the timetable shift, after a meeting with Ivorian President Alassane Ouattara in Abidjan, Ivory Coast.

Mascot[]
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.
Qualification[]
- Main article:2023 Africa Cup of Nations qualification
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 in 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.
Qualified teams[]
The following teams qualified for this edition of the tournament with no debutant nation for the first time since the 2015 edition. 17 teams that participated in the most recent edition in 2021 are set to return for the event.
DR Congo, South Africa, Angola, Namibia and Tanzania made their return to the continental tournament after missing out on the 2021 edition. Zambia made its return after an almost nine-year absence from the event. Mozambique made its fifth appearance after a 14-year absence.
Comoros failed to qualify after making its debut in 2021, whereas Zimbabwe were disqualified due to FIFA's suspension. Sudan, Malawi, Gabon, Sierra Leone and Ethiopia also failed to qualify after appearing in the 2021 tournament.
