CAF Delegation Inspects Ethiopia's Readiness for 2028 AFCON Bid

A technical evaluation team from the Confederation of African Football (CAF) has completed an intensive on-site assessment to verify Ethiopia's readiness to host the 2028 Africa Cup of Nations. The delegation inspected infrastructure and sporting facilities across key cities, including Addis Ababa, Bahir Dar, Dire Dawa, Hawassa, and Jimma. The evaluation focused on verifying whether the country's proposed readiness aligns with the actual conditions on the ground. Key areas of inspection included stadium standards, transportation logistics, and general hosting capacity.

The CAF team will use these findings to compile a comprehensive report that will influence the decision on the tournament's host nation. This assessment is a critical step for Ethiopia, which is aiming to secure international sporting events to boost its profile. The outcome of this inspection process will determine if Ethiopia meets the stringent requirements set by the continental football governing body.
