This is what you get if you have egocentric Octogenarian Issa Hayatou in charge. He and his inward looking people do not get it. Things have changed and we have to change with times. Gone are the days when 99.999% of African ...

This is what you get if you have egocentric Octogenarian Issa Hayatou in charge. He and his inward looking people do not get it. Things have changed and we have to change with times. Gone are the days when 99.999% of African players are playing on African soil. The fools must use their head.

this has come up before over the years even when it was changed so african cup dont fall on world cup year,a lot of europeans clubs wanted that bcos they dont want their players to go to afcon,but i think caf should not change it,african cup have always taken place in january and changing it would mean giving in to the rich european clubs,atsu as much as i like him,should put up and shut up,we have had players playing for big european clubs in the past and they all had to leave their clubs when needed,so someone tell atsu hes not the first and he wont be last,if hes a good player,he would get his club position back

I've wondered why CAF can't schedule AFCON much better, just as Astu is saying.

THEY R ALL STUPID. THEY SIT THERE IN EGYPT WITH THEIR PREGNANT BELLIES N CALL THEMSELVES MEN. IF I WERE CAF HEAD I WILL INCREASE THE NUMBER OF TEAMS TO 20. I WILL WORK WITH FIFA TO FORCE AFRICAN NATIONS TO INVEST IN WORLD CLASS SOCCER INFRASTRUCTURE. IF U DONT INVEST, I WILL PUT U IN TOUGH GROUPS U WONT HAVE ANY CHANCE OF QUALIFYING TO AFCON, CHAN AFCON OR WCUP. I WILL CHANGE THE AFCON TO SUIT COPA AMERICA AND EURO SCH AND I WILL BRING IN MORE SPONSORS TO AFCON. CAF AINT DOING NONE OF THIS....THEY ARE STILL STUCK IN THE PAST N YET THE CLOK KEEPS MOVING ALONG WITH STOCK MARKETS. LOOK, SOON, THE BEST AFRICAN STARS WILL BOYCOTT AFCON TO PLAY FOR THEIR CUBS. AFCON WILL LOSE VIEWERSHIP AND RATINGS WILL FALL. ITS ALREADY HAPPENING BUT CAF THINKS THEY CNA SURVIVE. U CAN SURVIVE ALRIGHT BUT THATS FOR FOOLS. CAF AND AFCON MUST THRIVE, NOT SURVIVE. EVERY YR COPA, EURO, WCUP TOURNEYS IMPROVE. ONLY AFCON RETROGRESSES. SEE DARK MIND

In june and july we have heavy tropical rain throughout in Africa. also it would not work in favor of the players at club level. In june/july players are supposed to be resting and preparing for preseason. if u play AFCoN in June or july chances are you might be too exhausted to partake in preseason for your club or you might miss preseason entirely. best solution is to make it every 4 years to make it more bearable for the clubs and the players instead of them having to endure these every two years

South Africa is in Africa and it hosted the 2010 WC in the summer. Also, the UEFA championship is in summer and all the players show up and are able to go play for their clubs. Please, don't make excuses for this dumb CAF.

Is South Africa the only country in Africa? Is it their birth right to host every tournament on the continent? Besides South Africa does not have the same weather as most sub Saharan countries. When they hosted the World Cup it was winter. Winter! It didn't rain to prevent games from been played. Winter cold weather does not impact football games like rain fall. So I don't know what you're talking about.
If you don't understand why I wrote ask and I would explain to u. I did not give excuse to CAF. I offered a different solution. That's to stage the tournament every 4 yrears instead two years

analyse it for yourself, will you leave you club that pays for your everything to play in nations cup. they position in their clubs are not giving, they need to fight with other players for it.

CAF is operating in accordance to the FIFA worldwide football calendar.They moved AFCON from EVEN YEARS to ODD YEARS so it wouldn't be in a world cup year so that injuries may not affect African teams'performances.Take this year for example.If the AFCON was to be held in June,how could the African Champions participate in the FIFA Confederations Cup?
