AFCON every two years: CAF criticized for its governance

The AFCON will not switch to a four-year cycle. CAF's Executive Committee voted to keep the biennial rhythm. A decision welcomed by many fans, but criticized by some observers.

On Canal+ Sport Afrique, Senegalese journalist Mansour Loum denounced a competition that, according to him, has become "a simple adjustment variable" in the tug-of-war between FIFA and UEFA. He believes that "AFCON deserves better than that."

This reversal comes less than a year after a previous decision. The governance of the African Football Confederation is being called into question. African football lovers are waiting for clear explanations.
