FIFA Boss Infantino Wants AFCON Every Four Years As A Way Of Lifting African Football To The Top Of The World

FIFA boss Gianni Infantino told African Football leaders that he wants their continental Cup of Nations to be played every four years as part of the package of reforms designed to lift “African football to the top of the world.”

Infantino also told a seminar in Rabat attended by delegates from each of the Confederation of African footballs 54 member associations, that he wanted new stadiums in every member state and had earmarked one billion to finance the ambitious program.

The Africa Cup of Nations is currently staged every two years, which makes it unpopular with European clubs.

Pele ‘the legend’ once said that an African team would win the world cup, but this has not happened and it seems we are not making progress, today must be the day we turn that page.” Infantino said.
