Ethiopia Submits Official Bid to Host AFCON 2028 as Abiy Ahmed Eyes African Glory | Firstpost Africa

Watch this video as Firstpost examines Ethiopia's bid to host the Africa Cup of Nations and Prime Minister Abiy Ahmed's attempt to put Addis Ababa at the centre of African sporting power. After more than five decades, Ethiopia wants the continent's biggest football tournament back home. The Ethiopian Football Federation has formally submitted its bid to CAF, backed by the government and Ethiopia's growing ambitions. Addis Ababa is already the political capital of Africa as the headquarters of the African Union, while Ethiopia is betting on major infrastructure projects, Ethiopian Airlines and the new Adey Abeba National Stadium to strengthen its case. But hosting AFCON will require far more than ambition. Ethiopia must prove it can deliver multiple stadiums, secure logistics and reliable movement across a country still facing unrest in parts of Amhara and Oromia and uncertainty around Tigray. With competing bids emerging across Africa, can Abiy Ahmed turn Ethiopia's AFCON dream into reality? Alyson Le Grange tells you more on Firstpost Africa.
