CAN: Is a significant return to a two-year cycle approved by the CAF Executive Committee on the horizon?

According to our information, the Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON) is set to return to a biennial schedule. This significant decision could be confirmed as early as tomorrow during the next meeting of the CAF Executive Committee.

This new direction demonstrates the responsiveness of CAF President Dr. Patrice Motsepe to the various concerns raised about the tournament, positioning African football as a priority. The continent's major event, which is the heartbeat of local football, would thus see its status and prestige enhanced for better preservation.

African football could therefore benefit from leadership that is attentive to the desires of stakeholders and committed to maintaining the essence of its flagship competitions.
