It took place between 12 January and 4 February 2018. In February 2016, Kenya was announced as the host nation but in September 2017, CAF decided to change the host nation due to a lack of progress with preparations. Morocco was announced as the host nation in October 2017. Unlike the African Cup of Nations, the competing national teams must be composed of players playing in their domestic league. For example, a Moroccan player is only eligible to play for the Morocco national team if he is playing for a Moroccan club. Hosts Morocco defeated Nigeria in the final to win their first title. DR Congo were the defending champions but failed to qualify for the first time ever after losing to Congo on away goals rule.

But in September 2017, CAF decided to change the host nation due to a lack of progress with preparations. The CAF received three bids by the deadline of 30 September 2017 to replace Kenya as new hosts : Equatorial Guinea Ethiopia Morocco The Ethiopian Football Federation did not provide the government 's letter of guarantee, and were not considered. The CAF Emergency Committee decided to choose Morocco over Equatorial Guinea in October 2017. Qualification Main article : 2018 African Nations Championship qualification The qualifying rounds took place from April to August 2017. Since Morocco had already qualified in the North Zone before being named as replacement hosts, their spot in the final tournament was re-allocated to Egypt, which lost to Morocco in the North Zone final qualifying round. However, Egypt declined to participate citing a `` congested domestic calendar ''. As a result, the spot was reverted to Central - East Zone ( as originally three teams would participate including Kenya as original hosts ), and would go to the winner of a play - off in November 2017 between Ethiopia and Rwanda, the two teams which lost in the Central - East Zone final qualifying round. Qualified teams The following 16 teams qualified for the final tournament. Team Zone Appearance Previous best performance FIFA ranking at start of event Cameroon Central Zone 3rd 05 !
