(Reuters) - The long-awaited decision on the hosts for the African Cup of Nations finals in 2025 and 2027 will be made later this month, the Confederation of African Football (CAF) said on Thursday. The hosts would be announced after a meeting of the CAF executive committee in Cairo on Sept. 27, a statement said. Guinea lost the 2025 tournament after CAF found it was well behind in preparations for the 24-team tournament. The hosting of the Cup of Nations has run through a chequered history in the last decade, starting with South Africa stepping in to replace war-torn Libya in 2013. In 2014 Guinea was awarded the right to host the 2023 finals, along with Cameroon (2019) and Ivory Coast (2021).
