The Confederation of African Football (CAF) has postponed the date for the upcoming African Cup of Nations final draw.
The draw was initially scheduled for June 25 in Yaounde, the capital of Cameroon where the tournament will be held.
But in a communique, CAF stated that the reasons for the postponement is “logistical reasons related to the Covid-19 pandemic” and a new date would be announced in due course.
Meanwhile, Sierra Leone and Benin play their outstanding qualifier this month to determine the last of the 24 teams in the finals in Cameroon in January.
CAF last month postponed the resumption of World Cup qualifiers, which had been scheduled for the opening weeks of June, blaming the Covid-19 pandemic.
And the group phase of African qualifiers for the Qatar 2022 tournament is now due to start in September.[ads5]
