Following the withdrawal of Uganda from hosting the 2020 Africa Cup of Nations Beach Soccer Championship, CAF has confirmed that a new hosting bid for the tournament will be launched for the organization of the final tournament either in 2020 or 2021.
The bidding process for the hosting rights of the Beach Soccer Africa Cup of Nations 2020 has been reopened to Member Associations from 5 July 2020 till 31 July 2020.
The bidding file must include the dossier on Accommodation, Transportation and Sporting Infrastructure as well as Government guarantee to host the tournament.
CAF will also provide a financial support package to the host towards the successful organisation of the event.
The eight-team final tournament has been scheduled for within the period of December 2020 and April 2021.
The winner and losing finalist will qualify to represent Africa at the FIFA Beach Soccer World Cup Russia 2021.
Senegal is the most successful beach soccer team in Africa with five titles which they won in 2008, 2011, 2013, 2016, and 2018. Nigeria with two titles in 2007 and 2009 is the second most successful team in Africa. Cameroon in 2006 and Madagascar in 2015 both have one title each.
Uganda had won the bid to host the 2020 finals in 2018 and preparations had already started but withdrew due to the coronavirus situation and rising water levels on the shores of Lake Victoria.
