Good news for the Premier League though:

Quote:
The Confederation of African Football's executive committee has approved two major changes to the continent's top tournament , expanding it from 16 to 24 teams from 2019 and moving it from the beginning of the year to June-July.

CAF expects the first change to significantly increase revenue from the African Cup of Nations, its flagship tournament, and follows the lead of the European Championship, which expanded to 24 teams last year.

The tournament has traditionally been held in January and February, long causing disputes with European clubs who lose their players in the middle of a domestic campaign.
