The 2023 Africa Cup of Nations, known for short as the 2023 AFCON or CAN 2023 and for sponsorship purposes as the TotalEnergies Africa Cup of Nations, is scheduled to be the 34th edition of the biennial African association football tournament organized by Confederation of African Football. It will be hosted by Ivory Coast for the second time, having first hosted it in 1984.
This edition of the tournament was supposed to be the third time taking place in the Northern Hemisphere summer since the 2019 edition to reduce scheduling conflicts with European club teams and competitions. On 3 July 2022, CAF postponed this edition to 13 January – 11 February 2024 due to the adverse summer weather concerns in Ivory Coast, whilst retaining the name 2023 Africa Cup of Nations for sponsorship purposes. This also meant for the first time in AFCON history, the tournament was forced to be moved twice after the earlier edition.
Senegal are the defending champions.
