According to reporting by BBC Africa, the Confederation of African Football (CAF) has abandoned plans to switch the Africa Cup of Nations (Afcon) to a four-year cycle, confirming the tournament will remain on its traditional two-year schedule.

The move comes as a U-turn on a decision taken by the continental football governing body last December, which had initially aimed to alter the frequency of Africa's premier international competition.

By retaining the biennial format, CAF ensures that national teams across the continent will continue to compete for the prestigious trophy every two years.
